AND WE'RE GONNA TO GET MARRRRIED!!!

Yes, you read right I am officially engaged!!!! I'm so incredibly excited and happy!!! I can't stop SMILING!!

So here's the story....

Some of you may have read today is me and my FI's

4 year anniversary. We went to dinner at our favorite nice resturaunt last night to celebrate. J told me that I would be getting one of my presents at dinner. So when I got in the car I saw the gift wrapped (professional @ a department store). I started to shake it and he told me it was breakable and to not shake it or it might break. It was a small/medium sized box. Large enough to hold salt shakers. Anyways...so I assumed it was a porcelian figure or a swarvoski crystal animal. When we arrived to the resturaunt he asked when I wanted to open my present before of after dinner. Naturally I said before. But he insisted we wait to build up my anticipation. So we had a wonderful dinner together and once we we're done I told him I was ready for my gift. So he told me to close my eyes...and I did. Then open and nothing was different. So then I opened the present and noticed it was a heart charm for my charm braclet. He had mentioned my james avery charm bracelet earlier during dinner asking if I still wore it and I told him I did. Anyways I noticed it had something engraved on the heart, and took a closer look. It read the most precious 4 words....."Will You Marry me?" I looked up, and he was holding the AMAZING ring. I said "Are you serious?!" I knew he was serious, but I was so surprised that's what came out. He chuckled and said yes. Then I said "Of course, yes!" We then kissed and hugged. It was a great first "moment" together and an engaged couple. AH...

After dinner we made all the calls to family and friends and everyone is so thrilled for us! I'm so happy that I am marrrying the man of my dreams, and my best friend. God has blessed me soooo much!

Now onto the ring. It's honestly my dream ring!! He did such an amazing job getting it for me. He loves it too! Every chance he gets I see him stealing a glance at it. It's soooo sparkly!

It has been an amazing anniversary! We are both so excited!!!

Ah, how wonderful!!! Congratulations!!! And not only do you have the ring, you have the charm! I love James Avery!!! Can't wait to see the ring!!!


ETA: Ah, THERE'S the ring!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! Did you get your nails done specially for the anniversary?

 

[Fancy605]

Yay! Another engagement! And what an AMAZINGLY precious way to propose! I love it! That is perfect! That's def. my kind of proposal!

I can't wait to see photos of your beautiful ring!

ETA: oops, I guess you were posting photos at the same time as I was posting. What a GORGEOUS ring!

 

[Blenheim]

Congratulations! Your ring is just beautiful, and I love your proposal story.

 

[sunkist]

Rose, Congratulations!!! Aww, what a sweet proposal from your Fiance and you''re so lucky you''ll have the ring and the charm to remind you of that moment

Take more pictures, your ring is beautiful!

 

[RoseAngel04]

I know Sumbride & Sunkist!! I love the fact that I'll also always have the charm as a memory!!

And yes, I made sure to get a mani/pedi for our anniversary!! Very glad that I did knowing what I do now!

Fancy: Thanks, I think it was perfect and precious too!!! Looks like we're on a bit of an engagement streak! Love is in the air.

Thanks Blenheim!! It was perfect.

Luckily the tables on either side of us had left a few minutes before I opened "my gift" so it was a very private moment. After the proposal, our waiter figures out what had just happened and gave us our privacy, which we very much appreciated!.

Congratulations RoseAngel!!!

Your ring looks absolutely fabulous... can't wait to hear the details! Sounds like your boy did a pretty amazing job with the proposal... now you get to wear that charm bracelet and remember his proposal every time!

Enjoy your engagement!!! You made it!

Aussiegirl : p

Edited: Because I'm a moron and can't remember names for the life of me!

 

[RoseAngel04]

Thanks Aussie!!! I love that I''ll always have the charm!!

The only details I currently know is that the center diamond is an RB .70 ct with 63 diamonds surrounding in the halo and sides equaling a .37tw. Combined my ring is 1.07tw!!!

 

[therighttime]

Congratulations! The proposal sounds sooo sweet.... I love the idea of the charm! And the ring is BEAUTIFUL!! Can''t wait to see more pics.

 

[biokatie]

Congrats! And that picture of the ring was breathtaking for me

 

[aussiegirl23]

RoseAngel...

I am SO sorry... I slipped and called you IrishAngel... wow, do I STINK!

Hope you''ll forgive me : )

Btw... what size finger do you have? that .70 carat looks STUNNINGLY huge on your finger (even without the halo!)

Again, sorry for the tired-brain mix up!

Aussiegirl : p

 

[RoseAngel04]

Therighttime & Biokatie: Thanks so much ladies!!

Aussie: Don''t worry about the name mix up! Our names are SOO close, so don''t even give it a second thought!

Oh...and my ring size is 4.5! I happen to agree that for an under a carat diamond it suits me perfectly and doesn''t look "small" on my hand at all! The jeweler told my FIANCE that the setting can hold up to like an 2.5ct stone, but I think my diamond is perfect sized for me. I love that it''s such a dainty ring! It really fits my personality perfectly!!

 

[fisherofmengirly]

What a gorgeous ring! It''s pretty, pretty! Do you have a picture of the charm, too?

 

[RoseAngel04]

Here is the charm! It's not scratched even though the pic fools you otherwise!

Thx fisher!!

ETA: This pic doesn't do the charm justice!! It's a very classy charm!

 

[sk8rjen]

Congratulations, RoseAngel!!!!!!!!! The ring is of course GORGEOUS, but the proposal was just perfect! I love every bit of this precious story! I bet you''ll never want to take your charm-bracelet off either, will you?

Happy Anniversary

[Fancy605]

I like the charm! I am a sucker for charm bracelets b/c they tell a story. I don''t wear mine much, but I have shown it to my little realatives, and they like to hear the stories behind each charm. It is SO great that you get to keep your actual proposal forever and ever.

And I would have guessed your ring was at least 1 carat in the center. You gotta love having slender fingers!

 

[SeattleSparkle]

Congratulations!! What a great story!! I love it. And that ring is quite beautiful as well!! Oh, and the charm is very cool too! Love it, love it.

 

[MissCongeniality]

Congrats !!! What a sweet story giving you a charm with the best four words ever engraved on it. I said to myself as I read it, "Awww..."

I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!
