Ford had never been one for symbols of things. Things were what they were, regardless of names and symbols or signs.
He loved Darcy, and he could no longer picture life without her. He certainly didn't want to. But when he had asked her to marry him, he hadn't asked because he himself wanted to get married. He honestly didn't care one way or the other, and he sure as hell didn't need some piece of paper or ceremony to tell him that he loved her. But, she did want to get married.
She also wanted wedding rings, for the both of them. Again he didn't really care. He didn't need a ring on his finger to be married. What was a wedding ring, anyway? A signal to others that one was married? A signal of "I'm claimed already." He didn't need it.
But just as he didn't need to get married or wear a wedding band he still would. Because she wanted that, and he didn't mind it. Hardly a price at all to pay for making her happy.
So they had taken one of their lazy days to go shopping. For rings. "So what kind of ring do you want?" He asked where they were walking down the street hand in hand. Further down that street were a jewelry store that he hoped would have something that would strike her fancy.

"Guess I'll go looking for something as well, then." But that was for later. Now that they were standing there in this glittering store, they should see about those rings.

Date: 2012-09-06 09:41 pm (UTC)"Ooh, that," she pointed to one that had three princess cut diamonds set together and a few smaller. It wasn't huge, which she prefered, but it definitely knew how to sparkle. They were approached quickly by one of the employees who asked which one and he pulled it out from the drawer to show her. Darcy immediately was examining it and then slipping it on.
"Engagement ring?" the tubby salesman asked.
"Wedding ring. I'm not bothering getting both. Just one," she explained.

Date: 2012-09-06 09:51 pm (UTC)"S what do I want, then," he mused and claimed the salesman's attention to find a ring for himself.

Date: 2012-09-06 09:57 pm (UTC)"The men's bands are over here," he directed them to another counter with more rings, some a little more elaborate than others and this time Darcy stood back and waited to see what her boyfriend--fiance?--would pick out.

Date: 2012-09-06 10:21 pm (UTC)"Do you want anything engraved in the rings?" The salesman asked, and Ford turned his head to look at Darcy standing behind him.
"Do we?"

Date: 2012-09-06 10:25 pm (UTC)"If we do, I think it should be the same in both. Or, simply each other's names," she said, shrugging, "What do you think?"

Date: 2012-09-06 10:37 pm (UTC)"So what do we do with the rest of the day?" He asked once they had exited the shop. "Back to the beach, or would you rather get the rest of the shopping over and done with?" If she was getti9ng a dress then he really should get an outfit as well.
no subject
Date: 2012-09-06 10:45 pm (UTC)"We can shop," she suggested, having already walked by a few stores she thought might have nice dresses she could wear. "Wait, if I'm getting your name engraved on the inside of my ring, should it be Jonathan or Ford? I should probably use my husbands first name every once in a while," she laughed.

Date: 2012-09-06 10:55 pm (UTC)"Would you rather I call you Jonathan? Or Jon or some other variation?" She asked, since who knew, really at this point.

Date: 2012-09-06 11:06 pm (UTC)"I'll try and call you by your first name," she said, "but you are never, ever allowed to refer to me as wifey. Or the little wifey or little wife or any variation there of. I think I'd kill you." She very well might. Now he would do it to bug her and she knew it.

Date: 2012-09-06 11:23 pm (UTC)She slid her arm behind him and tucked her hand into his back pocket, walking with him. This had definitely been a needed vacation. "Do you want to shop with me, or separate?" she asked next.

Date: 2012-09-06 11:31 pm (UTC)"Practicality wins out with us a lot," she smiled, "Besides, I'm already not following any of the rules. Question though, what color would you prefer to see me in?" She decided since he was the one getting married to her and had to look at her, maybe he should have some say, though she figured he wouldn't care.

Date: 2012-09-06 11:41 pm (UTC)"You think I know a thing about that?" HE asked in responded to her question about color. But he did look at her while they walked, choosing whatever color first occurred to him. "Green, maybe?" And no Irish jokes, please.
no subject
Date: 2012-09-06 11:50 pm (UTC)"Green will look good next to you, too," she replied. No, no, Irish jokes, but it was true. Green was a good color. "We'll see what I find," she said, pulling back a little, "There's a store back that way I want to check out. Where do you want to meet up?"
