Hiya guys,

Just bear with me while I ramble on for a bit. I hunted down a stone to get made into a wedding gift a while back and got some good help from the board. The stone I went with wasn''t everyones cup of tea but I liked it well enough, as I thought it was good value for money.

The wedding is on this coming Saturday and is gonna be a little different to what I had imagined...

Initially we were going to get married at our engagement party as a suprise. We had all the overseas relatives booked in to come and all was going well. Unfortunately about 5 weeks ago my mother had a really bad motorcycle accident and managed to make a real mess of herself, just about broke every bone in her body literally but no paralysis or brain damage thank God! So this Saturday we are getting married at the hospital chapel with my mother and the family and then the engagement party as our surprise reception. I guess we are going to have one heck of a wedding story to tell! The hospital has been fantastic I think they are just happy to be involved in something uplifting instead of death related activities.

OK enough rambling and onto the pics...

40+ views and no comments I was figuring the ring is no good or my story freaked everyone out, lol.
 
The red X''s are all I see. I tried right clicking, but it didn''t work for me. I really want to see your pics. I can see the engraving on the ring, in the second post, but can''t see the whole ring. Best wishes to you!! Sorry about your Mom, so glad she''ll be ok!!
 
Bugger! Not sure why that is Kaleigh

If you sort by picture date descending order my pics should be the last 5.

Thanks for looking and your kind words

Wow, sorry to hear about your mom...glad that she is recovering, though.
The ring is pretty!
 
It''s a beautiful setting, and I actually REALLY love the color of that stone. Is this a surprise, or does she know about it? She''s going to love it.

I hope your mom gets better, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
 
Thanks Dana and Selkie

Mum should mend alright but I think her rehab to learn to walk again etc is going to be very painful. She is just in and out of theatre a bit now to make sure everything is all where it is supposed to be. We have plans to do something again to celebrate a bit better for her when she gets out of hospital

The ring is a surprise. I''m thinking I will get her on the first night of our trip away/honeymoon, do the old you''re not going to dinner in that are you! kinda routine and "fix" her outfit for her

The stone is very interesting. It is dark, more or less black but it is like someone keeps turning rich royal blue lights on and off inside it all the time. So it''s not, by any stretch, a top sapphire but it is very interesting and I think it is lovely.
 
Hi Pieface,
Sorry to hear about your mom''s accident, but glad to hear she will be ok and still gets to attend your wedding

Best wishes for her recovery

I had to follow the link too to see the photos (just red x''s here) -- I think it''s a great wedding gift, and going by the pictures, it looks like a really nice colour blue!
 
I'm sorry but I still see blanks with red Xs.

Hope your mom recovers quickly. Sorry about the accident.
 
Chrono, he has the posted in the gem gallery.


Beautiful ring!!!! Prayers outgoing to your mom Pieface. Congrats on the upcoming wedding!!!
 
Wow, I think your sapphire looks great! How sweet of you! I, too, am so sorry to hear about your mom''s accident. I love the idea of the wedding at the chapel and the surprise reception!!! Best wishes to both of you!
 
I have messaged an admin to see if they can get my pics working properly. Not too sure why it is playing up like that.

I''ll see if I can upload one to go in the thread for the interim...

Thanks for commenting Skip, Bling and DS06 (hope you guys don''t mind the abbreviations!)appreciate the thoughts going out to my mum very much

You are who I consider to be one of the ring doyens around here - Quality and Quantity

Thanks Littlerock - All this good feeling going out to Mum surely can''t hurt!

Thanks Love in Bloom - I guess I still don''t have this board nutted out with Images yet. It is the trickiest I have ever been on! I ummed and ahhed about the inscription but I think this one hits the spot for our relationship. I think it''s sincere.

Here''s another shot on the funky mushroom candle

Hi Guys,

The wedding was fantastic! I think I was on a natural buzz for 3-4 days

It worked out really well and all our friends got a big shock - haha!

Anna loved the ring and has barely taken it off so she is pretty blinged out with her ER, wedding band and sapph RHR. I''ll try and get some handshots etc off the cameras and post something up after the weekend.

I''m turning 30 at the end of the year so I told her she might have to pander to my newly acquired coloured stone fetish

I''d really like a nice orange spess rhr...

Glad things worked out awesome!!! Congratulations again! Looking forward to seeing new pics............

Gorgeous stone and setting, how did I miss it?!!!
 
There are so many posts kcourselle it''s hard to keep up! I know I struggle, I''m sure I''m missing lots of beautiful stones and jewelery myself.

My camera has played silly buggers with me so I''ll need to get some more photos done. I dredged up a pic of the wedding band to show for the interim

You did such a terrific job!

I''m sorry to hear about your mom but glad to know that she should be on the mend. Congrats on your wedding if it has already happened ...

Again, kudos to you and all the hard work you have put in to get your fi/wife the perfect engagement/wedding jewelry pieces. Phenomenal job! More men should be as devoted & dedicated to making their special person as happy as you are!

Love the engraving as well ... simple but super sweet and timeless!
