Kevin and I spent the day cutting, hammering, melting, soldering, sanding and polishing a bar of white gold that ultimately became each other's wedding bands. Thanks to Stephanie for photo documenting the whole process, and an even bigger thank you for the entire experience.

| Sawing the metal |
 |
| Hammering into a rough circle |
 |
 |
| Soldering my ring |
 |
| My turn to use that torch |
 |
| Hammering into a perfect circle now that the ends are melted together |
 |
| Filing the rough edges |
 |
 |
| Sanding. We used three grades of sandpaper before... |
 |
| ...the final polishing |
 |
| This machine terrified me. I was told it could scalp me, but once I got used to it, this was my favorite part! |
 |
| Finished products |
 |
| Toasting to a romantic day's labor |
