10C.6 Double Ring Wedding Ceremony

Three years ago I met Chucko, my husband-to-be, at a Thanksgiving Day
party. His ears perked up at all the right times, especially when I
mentioned that I was thinking of getting my labia pierced. He talked
about how he'd planned to get his nipples done but that the plans fell
through.
We fell in lust, and then in love. On our 10th day together, he said
something about getting maching wedding rings. "Wedding?" I asked. He
quickly said, "uh, nipple rings, yeah, that's what I meant!"
Over the years Chucko changed his mind about nipple rings, I guess
seeing me get my labia pierced (twice, but that's another story), and
watching me heal my nipple (took less than a year, but it's still kind
of a long time) was what did it; he'll probably follow up and explain
when he sees this post (hi, dear!).
Then, last year, I proposed, giving him a gold and diamond ring. He
said "Yes" and on October 14th of this year we were married.
Now the fun begins. A wedding present we received was a gift
certificate for Gauntlet! (The givers asked us first if we'd be into
that, and I told Chucko that it was his decision, I'd be up for it if
he was.) By this time, he'd decided that a PA would be just the thing,
if it could be gold. I'd planned on getting my other nipple done, but
thought it'd be more appropriate for this ceremony if I chose
something more intimate.
I meditated on my anatomy, having large outer labia and almost no
inner presented what I thought was a problem. I considered the
triangle, but couldn't really do the "pinch test." If I had known abou
the q-tip test, I would have tried that and known that a vertical hood
piercing would work out fine.
We scheduled our appointment for last sunday, November 26th, which was
the three-years-to-the-date anniversary of when we met (though we
consider Thanksgiving to be our primary anniversary). We had a couple
friends show up as witnesses, including my maid of honor (I had her
put her 4 ga big hoop earrings in for the wedding). She took photos of
the piercing.
First, I had one of the Gauntlet staff "check me out." I still wasn't
sure about the vertical hood. I went back into one of the booths,
dropped my drawers and sat up on the table. The Gauntlet staff woman
took a q-tip and did something I couldn't see with it (put it under
the hood with the clitoris, hmm, interesting sensation, that...) She
said, "no problem" for the piercing. I went back out front where we
were looking at jewelry.
Picking out the jewelry was surprising. Chucko knew he wanted gold,
and a single-bead captive style ring. The first ring he was shown was
a 12 ga. I said, "put a 10 up there for comparison." And that turned
out to be the one. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, I knew he
was a size queen when I married him.
I chose niobium, 14 ga. There was a wide selection of color. I have a
light green ring in my outer labia, so I didn't want to clash with
that. I settled on a dark blue ring with a lapis bead.
We read the care instructions while waiting, and finally John called
us back to the booth. All five of us crammed in there, John, Chucko,
our two witnesses and myself. John asked, "Who's first?" Chucko said,
"I guess I am."
I should let him write his PA experience. It was his first piercing of
any kind, and it was 10 ga, and it looks beautiful.
Then it was my turn. I got up on the table again, just as I did when
being checked out earlier. John had cleaned up and switched gloves and
he prodded me gently, "to get to know it a little." He wiped me with
betadine, then drew a mark for the entry. I had a mirror and after
looking at the mark said, "Looks scary! Let's do it!" That got laughs
and smiles of approval from all in the room. He put the needle
receiving tube in there the q-tip had gone earlier, which was even
more interesting than the q-tip. Then he cautioned me, "Try not to
slam my head between your thighs when I do this". A few breaths
later, the needle was through. I was still breathing, but was getting
dizzy. John put the ring in, but before he got the bead in there, I
had to get horizontal. With my legs above my head, I no longer felt
like I was going to faint or something. Soon the bead was in and we
were done!
I can see why some women find the vertical hood piercing "too intense"
to leave in all the time, but I think I'll get used to it pretty
quickly. I plan on trading in the ring for a barbell when it heals.
