The beau doesn’t wear jewelry — never has.* The beau even finds watches uncomfortable. Yet somehow, the beau has already gone and picked himself out a wedding band.

A wood-inlay titanium band, to be precise, from Boone Rings (they also have an Etsy shop). He likes the fact that it’s titanium, and thus space-age strong, for he has expressed an interest in using it to open bottles of beer.**

He’s narrowed it down to three options:

redwood_burl

Rosewood Burl

redoak_burl

Red Oak Burl

desert_ironwood

Desert Ironwood

What do you think? Which inlay should the beau select? Does the word “burl” just make you think of Burl Ives? Do you now have “A Holly Jolly Christmas” stuck in your head, on repeat?*** Did you know Burl Ives’ full name was Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives?**** Do you think the beau would let me name our firstborn “Icle?”***** Do you think I’ve typed “beau” enough times in this post? Do you think I’ve used enough footnote stars in this post? Are you even reading this post?******

 

* The beau has a kickin’ beard, though. Just so you know.

** Sigh. He’s so dreamy.

*** Because I do.

**** So says Wikipedia.

***** No.

****** You ARE. I like what you’re wearing today, by the way. Pajama bottoms are always a classy choice.
