We'll take the tails off mermaids
We picked up our marriage license and our rings this afternoon. We were on our way back from Somerville City Hall when we heard from the jeweler that the rings were ready. We were a block from her shop: we wrote back joyfully and walked straight in.
Jade Moran made our rings; she's done extraordinary work. We met her for the first time last Wednesday; she showed us the models on Saturday; they went to the caster's on Monday and were polished and ready to take home by this afternoon. The design on the inside of each ring is a binary star system: two stars in each other's orbit, moving on their mutual arc through space. She wrote us an accompanying poem for a wedding present. We stepped outside the shop and swung each other around, hugging so tightly. They are beautiful; they are ours. They say what we want them to.
I understand it is not a prerequisite for all relationships, but it pleases me that I am marrying someone who understands why this photoshoot melts my brain. The sea as well as the stars, always.

We didn't even know quite what we wanted when we walked into the store, except rings; we had thought at one point of Möbius strips, because Rob had found a jeweler who specialized in them. But this was right.
