My Wedding Ring. The Story.

So when @esme1111 and I went to pick out our wedding rings. The store on the Loudon Street mall had a gun shop in the back. I think it was more of a fix-it shop, which would kind of make sense. I got to jawin’ with the man back there and he had some impressive old weapons along with the usual stuff. So we walked out with our rings and a cleaning kit for a .357. Been one of our favorite stories since. It set the stage for our life together so far. Based on many wonderful things, but above all of them is our intense fondness for goofiness. I need to find that ring.
