Lucky girl-enjoy!

Thanks everyone!!! Fisher, my mom said the same thing about the white jacket looking like a veil in the pic!! So tell Paul he wasn''t alone.

(And I bet he was pretending to be nonchalant because he''s secretly got his own proposal all worked out and doesn''t want to draw attention to it!)

Diamondfan, we''re not moving quite yet... but I''m getting a little itchy to be out of the city and into a fun little house in the ''burbs somewhere! A lot of our friends have made that move recently, so I''m starting to feel ready...

Just an update to say we''ve had a great weekend in my hometown with both our families (his came up to spend the weekend too!). My brothers are being so cute... they''re younger but very protective of me, and keep saying things like "my sissy''s getting married!!" and looking a litlte dazed.

After waiting so long to be a fiancee, it is totally surreal to look down at my finger and see a sparkly on there!! And yes, I look at it about 7 billion times a day... which C finds highly amusing. Hopefully more pix when I get back home later tonight and have a chance to download them!

[Sujuann]

Okay... I am sooooo in tears right now!!! Congratulations!! Your ''moment'' seemed like it was straight out of a Fred and Ginger movie!! Your ring is beautiful and I wish you both sooo much happiness!! Congratulations again!!

 

[Mara]

Congrats Ephemery!!! What an awesome story, and your ring- YOUR RING IS JUST STUNNING!! So happy for you! Enjoy this special time!

 

[marcybelle]

Congrats! Your ring is SO beautiful!!!!!

 

[ephemery1]

Suj, you are so sweet... it was definitely the perfect "moment" for me, despite its imperfections! And now every time I leave my apartment and see our "spot" in the park, I get that nice warm glow all over again.

And Mara, he did do good, didn''t he?? I sent him a link to this thread for some much-deserved ego-boosting.

Oh, and would you mind coming over and taking some shots of my ring for me? Your avatar pic is unreal! May be time to give up the day-job... I hear there''s a very, very niche market for sparkly-tographers.

And for anyone interested, I just started a thread in SMTR with some more of my lovely (and very amateur) ring pix from this weekend: My new OVAL e-ring... picture-heavy! Come visit!!

 

[KristyDarling]

CONGRATS!!!! You are too adorable in your rain-soaked "just got engaged" photo! How great that you were able to capture that moment!

And the ring....it''s stunning! Wear it in good health!

Congratulations!!! Your ring is absolutely gorgeous. It''s making me rethink what shape stone I like .
