Mata, I am so happy for you. What you write leaves so much joy go through - I can only hope these days have been at least as fabulous for you as it shows through the computer screen.

Congratulations, by all means.

Miss Matatora-

Although I have already cried into your cell phone upon hearing the very happy news, let me say that is one very beautiful ring for one very beautiful & special lady!

The proposal gave me goosebumps, it is so close to what you said your perfect proposal would be!!!! How wonderful is that!

AND THAT RING!!!! You must let V know how amazing we all think it is and that he did such a great job in making your dreams come true! I love the prongs, so elegant and classic and different at the same time. The 1/2 eternity looks fabulous on and I bet it''s soooooo comfortable. How are you "coping"

with that huge rock? The whole thing is just perfection and is now my favorite e-ring of all time!!! Truly fit for a modern princess who will one day be my therapist!

And the two of you have such wonderful times ahead, I''m getting all misty-eyed just thinking about it!!!!

Love & kisses & big hugs to you both!!!! (You and V, silly- not you & the ring)
Here''s to lots of wedding band shopping soon!

PS Questions! What size is the ring? And will your w-ring be able to sit flush? (And if these questions were answered elsewhere, please forgive!)

It is a size six, and I am going to need sizing balls/cushions becuase I am a 5.75 in the winter. And yes the wedding band will be able to sit flush. Lesley was super thoughtful and even sent a picture of a similiar wedding band and my e-ring sitting flush...so I know it will be PERFECT when the time comes.
I cannot say enough good things about my ring...it is just so darn sparkly!
