~ The Yurms ~

The Yurms, Yurms, Mr. Yurman or David Yurman has been a topic of great discussion in our household for the last few weeks. For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about David Yurman Inc. is a privately held American designer jewelry company founded by David Yurman. There are eighteen David Yurman boutiques across ten states, and four boutiques across three international cities. And NO that does not include Hawaii.

As you know Colt has been on the hunt for the perfect wedding band. It’s so funny too because when we first got engaged and we started talking about rings he was like “I just want a simple man’s ring. Like a classic ring, a ring like my dad would wear.” I loved that because I too had a simple classic band that I loved. I told him that he would need to start looking at bands but since Maui is so limited I also told him to start checking online. He found a few that he liked before he found “the yurms.” David Yurman has high fashion designer rings and he found one that he loved. He also had found a ring on island that he loved too but both were very different. He kept asking me for my advice and opinion and I would always say at the end of the day it’s your ring and you need to decide. I knew in my heart of hearts he wanted the David Yurman ring but three things were holding him back 1). we had to order it online blind and wouldn’t know if he really liked it on him or not until it arrived 2). he wasn’t sure if it was going to be the matte color he was looking for or if it would be too shiny in real life and 3). the price. I told him he needed to make a decision.

After several try on’s of the other ring he finally said “yea let’s just get this one” I really love it and the David Yurman one is too much of a risk and hassle. I told him I didn’t 100% believe that he was in love. He told me he really didn’t want to pick and that he wanted me to pick for him (little did he know that Mr. Yurms was already ordered and on its way) so I agreed. Earlier that week I had gone online and ordered the ring from the website so he could have it and try it on. I knew it was going to be “the one” the only problem was the shipping (everything takes forever to ship to Hawaii) it said it could take up to two weeks. I tried not to panic and kept my fingers crossed that it would come quicker than planned, the e-mail said August 9th. On July 30th I got home from work and went to the mailbox you can imagine my surprise & excitement when I saw a box from David Yurman’s! It was here, the EAGLE had landed!

Colt was at work and I couldn’t have been more excited for him to get home so I could surprise him. We had plans with Anu and Joe to do dinner so I decided I would put it under his pillow so he would get it when we got home and ready for bed. I placed the box under and went next door. We had a great dinner then came home and started getting ready for bed. I was so giddy and ready for him to FINALLY see his surprise. I did my thing and quickly crawled into bed as I waited for him to finish up in the bathroom. Finally after what seemed like forever he came out. I was laying there anxious with my phone camera hoping to not blow it and get his reaction but to my surprise he climbed on to the bed and started playing with Kailea. He played with her for quite some time then stood up grabbed the pillow and NOTHING! He didn’t even see the box. He started playing with Kailea again as I sat there in shock laughing my ass off. I couldn’t believe the box was just sitting there and he had NO CLUE! I waited and waited until he finally crawled up towards me and noticed. His face at first was annoyed “like what the heck is this” and then turned to a very happy and surprised “baby what is this” I honestly could not stop laughing, I couldn’t have paid for a better reaction.

He of course LOVED the ring and couldn’t stop modeling it off. He would flash his hand around the bed until I would say “wow babe, looks great” he is so funny. I love that he loves the yurms. I also love that our rings now look more alike both elegant and classic.

…but what I love the most are moments like these, I can’t wait to be husband and wife…

The eagle has landed; so fancy!
