She Always Got Her Way
19 May 2010
They had been to a dozen jewelry stores shopping for his wedding ring. She planned a small ceremony with close friends and family. Today, he wasn’t helping with the preparations. He petulantly repeated that none of these were men wedding bands. She couldn’t seem to motivate him further.
She explained that gold bands were generic and hers would be the same only with an engagement ring next to it. All he kept saying was he didn’t want a feminine ring. She asked him what he expected them to buy as an alternative. He looked like a man with no clue. She repeated that a gold band was not going to look feminine.
She recalled her parents on the first night they met him. After he left, they asked questions like can he get a higher-paying job and even asked if she know what is IQ was. She couldn’t admit all she cared about was how handsome he was. All that blond curly hair and those tepid blue eyes compensated for a deficiency in the brains department.
But what about the children, she sometimes wondered. Well, my high IQ will make up for whatever points his is lacking she concluded. The job thing they could figure out later. She was not very good at planning ahead. She gave up on rings and took him to a furniture store.
She did plan for them to sleep in a massive, carved cherry-wood sleigh bed. He turned toward the low cost modern furniture. But, she was going to have the one she wanted. Actually, she would have enjoyed sleeping with him in a loft bed. In fact, it sounded quite romantic. They could always use it later for the children’s room.
The led him over to the bed she wanted. Although they couldn’t afford the whole set, the salesman said it was open stock. She could get the chest, dresser and two night stands later on. She wasn’t so sure they’d be available in six months as he said, but they ordered the bed and arranged delivery.
They went next door to yet another jewelry store. Standing in front of the large display case she asked the salesman to show them the most masculine wedding bands for men that they sold. Urging her fiance in her most appealing way, she said the first row looked manly to her. They had never found such manly rings in the other stores. He finally agreed and chose the one he liked. They paid for it and went home after the long day of shopping.
