Eternity Ring & Perpetuity Ring

While AstroBanana were gallivanting in Orchard this afternoon, they decided to make their way to Tiffany to collect their engraved wedding bands. Okay, enough with the mystery - so what exactly did AstroBanana engrave on their rings?

Well, they decided that simplicity is the best. Instead of the full wedding date, they opted to include only the year - 2009. Playing with the timeless theme, she chose "ETERNITY 2009" while he went for "PERPETUITY 2009".

"Eternity" is synonymous with "perpetuity" - both words represent infinite duration or existence - but in Eric Banana's mind, there is an added twist. Sitting on Astro Girl's finger, the "eternity" ring will remind her that love lasts forever. The "perpetuity" ring on Eric Banana's finger will probably remind him of the same thing but let it not be forgotten that "perpetuity" also means an annuity payable indefinitely. Oh, and isn't there some truth in it? :P

On a separate note, AstroBanana are glad that they decided to collect their rings today. It turns out that their favourite Tiffany sales rep Dorothy's last day is tomorrow. If they have gone some other day, they would have not been able to see her again. As usual, she attended to them with a ready smile. As they watched her tie the white ribbon expertly around the famous little blue box, AstroBanana realised that it was the last time they will see her do it and actually felt a little sad. Nevertheless, they would like to thank her for all the great service and assistance she has rendered them and wish her all the best in her future endeavours. From AstroBanana to Dorothy: "You will always be in our memories."
