    Stories like this are way better. That’s more memorable than simply buying a thing and handing it over. My wife and I spent very little on everything. I think my suit was the most expensive thing at like $500, and we got married in an arboretum park we love (we just showed up and did the thing with a small handful of folks). My ring was a plain, dirt cheap silver band. I love the scratches on it because they represent the journey.

    Did she eventually find it? That just adds to the lore!

      She did find it again, she was just randomly walking down the garden and there it was … after we’d searched that area many many times, lol

      And yes, we put more store by memories than monetary value. Our wedding was very cheap, too - we eloped, because coordinating people between 4 different countries to come together for a normal-size wedding would have been a pain

      Anywho, I wish you a long and happy marriage, it sounds like it was built on solid foundations :-)

        Likewise, friend! My wife is my best friend and we spend 99% of our time together. We’re very grateful and have been together since 2015, married since December 2018 ❤️
