Hush, girls, hush!
We all need Dancing Fire to spout off the finger size rules NOW! Ok where is he??
Ok, now that I have more time to re-write what was so horribly erased, I want to first say thank you to all the replies and thoughts here. I didn’t expect this many responses - so thank you all for your suggestions!
Here we go,
In regards to the eternity ring: She is against eternity-type rings, she said that they are too thick in between her fingers and are uncomfortable to wear. Otherwise I was thinking something Marilyn Monroe-ish. Good idea though!
Firegoddess: your ring is so sparkly! Your fiance did a great job. Did you help out with the ring process?
Albicocca: who made your setting? It is very dainty and I like the prongs with the stones set in them! Very cool!
Widget: I will have to check into the thread about the Royal Setting, I remember browsing a few pieces by Beaudry, but they seemed a bit to “blingy” for me. Still, very awesome pieces though. As noted before, I liked the idea of the sidestones, but I don’t want the ring to be a multi-finger mess. Diamondfan’s ring is a stunner though!
Mimikins, and others who posted about the LIW postings: thank you for the heads up! I would have never thought she knew about this site, one can never be too careful I guess. Especially when it comes to engagements and diamonds apparently! LOL!
KristyDarling: 8 weeks? I don’t know if even I can wait that long! Maybe I can bribe Leon with a bouquet of flowers and a singing telegram thing.. . . .??
Windowshopper and Albicocca: I like the idea of the split bands a lot. Whoever posted that Leon piece found a very pretty ring. I’m not sure of the haloish type band of stones around the emerald though. Still, a very good idea!.
Jazmine: your ring is awesome! It’s a very unique way of setting the stone!! Very cool! How does that stirrup band work??
Decodelighted: euroshank,. . . . . .would the wedding band have to be euroshanked as well? Are they comfortable?
And to all who have concern about the stone size, I am positive it will be ok. I took her friends and her two sisters with me when I was looking at the stone choices, and had her older sister and her mom there with me when I decided on one. It is always nice to have a woman’s perspective on things! She is not one of those “name dropper” types, and is a pretty easy going gal - which I LOVE!!! Hmm, she has quite a few of the Louis Vuittons, all of my sisters chipped in with me to buy her a Hermes Birkin bag. ( untill I saw that interview where I think it was Kathy Gifford pronounced it correctly as ‘eeeeer-maaaaaaay” I thought it was pronounces “her-mess.”) She has a ton of jewelry. I have given her a promise ring with a tension set diamond of about .25cts, one of those circle of love pendants, 1ct tw d IF princess earrings, a pave heart and pave link toggle bracelet, the sapphire ring, and my all time favorite - a pair of pear dangle earrings set with micro pave halos. Hopefully they will keep Squassher in good company!
Ok, here is the ranting, raving and gloating part.
I can’t say enough about my girl. She is amazing. She is. . . . . . .she is everything to me. She is the sunshine that I look forward to seeing when I get home from work, and that big bright smile every morning when I wake up. She packs me lunch, and instead of just one ham sandwich she packs two, both with extra cheese and the mayo on the cheese side, just how I like ‘em an leaves a note for me. She has rode with me half way across the country for car parts, sat in the pouring rain and the hot sun through car shows. She treats me, and everyone she meets with the courtesy and familiarity of an old old friend. When she smiles, you can’t help but grin. I know, I’ve tried to fight it! Lol! She has never asked me to change myself. She has accepted me for who I am, my weaknesses and faults and my strengths and accomplishments all in stride. She always says its not what you can get out of it, its how can you make it better. She is proud of who I am, and where I have come from, and she is always hopeful in me and us for the future. She never once put me down for doing what I do, getting my hands dirty in manual work. She loves that I am passionate for what I do, she has seen all the stress of starting this business up, and has never once complained. She can come out to the shop at night and not be afraid to get her hands dirty, but then an hour later, change into jeans and a sweater and look like she stepped out of a magazine and never miss a beat. (All of you women never cease to amaze me!) She has never asked me to compromise who I am, to change because others think that I should carry myself “equally” to her. She knows how much I have had to struggle to get to where I am. I have a quote form an email she sent me a long time ago when I was having a super downer of a day. “If you didn’t have those hardships in life and have not had to crawl over hurdles, you probably wouldn’t be who you are right now. You scrimped and scrapped and have dealt with a lot of stuff, and in the end you have always found out that you can make it through, a better person than when you went in, and I will always love you more for that.” She has been my rock, my support. I didn’t know how to be emotional, to be vulnerable. She has shown me that not saying anything at all can be just as important as conversation. I was never taught that it was acceptable to be a man and cry, she has opened me to a whole new way of feeling. She knows how to turn my day around,, even if its just a smack on the rear, and a goofy grin. She is everything I could want. This ring is not just an engagement ring, it is a promise. A promise that I will make every day a better day than yesterday. A promise that I will always be there through thick and thin and always love her more. A promise that I will strive to be a better man for her, and our family. To me, it’s not a ring, it’s a symbol of what has been, and what will be. I want her to be proud to be my wife, because God knows I am so proud to have her in my life. I can’t wait!
. Everyone has their own "thing."
