Ladies --

I have been mostly a lurker here on PS, but I have enjoyed reading all of your posts and sharing in your inevitable ups and downs. And without further ado, I''m ENGAGED!! As of October 20, 2006. The whole thing is so surreal to me right now, but I have a (*gulp*) fiance!

In brief, Justin and I met, courtesy of nerve.com, about six months after I split up with my boyfriend of almost five years (that''s another story for another day...). After a whirlwind courtship, he proposed to me on his family''s farm in SW Wisconsin almost 10 months to the day after our first date.

We''re so happy and so excited! I have to say, no matter how much you know it''s coming, there''s nothing that can quite prepare you for turning around and seeing the man you love down on bended knee...

I''ve attached a picture of the ring (of course!). It''s BEAUTIFUL! Super sparkly. It''s absolutely alive! It''s a 2.03 ct. radiant center stone (F-G, SI1) with two trillion side stones on a thin platinum band.

The kid done good!

Thanks for letting me share my news.

congratulations!! Your ring is gorgeous!
 
Thanks so much everyone! My boy-, erm...I mean fiance was laughing last night because everyone was commenting on the ring rather than the engagement per se. Heh!

I am not a big jewelry wearer at all so it''s funny sometimes when people notice. I was in a meeting yesterday and she stopped mid-sentence and said, "Oh my God - that''s beautiful". I just about jumped out of my seat!

HA!!! That''s par for the course around here, Grace! We respond to PICTURES!

If you''d posted a pix of the FI we''d probably be all "He''s so cute!" and if you posted pix of an ice cream sundae we''d be all "That looks DELICIOUS!"

STORIES sometimes get lost in the mix. Though I think yours will be inspiring to some of the LIW who are considering ending long relationships & might fear that they won''t meet someone new/better/on-the-same-page/eager to wed.

CONGRATS on the engagment and the ROCK! He did do GOOD ... GREAT even!
