I think we got together on March 13, 2004. But somehow, I mistook that for April 13th, and 2 years later, I''ve forgotten our 2 year anniversary. No, WE forgot it. But at least we remember each other''s birthday''s. Anyhow, tomorrow is April 13th, and a month ago, thinking our anniversary was on April 13th, we decided we would schedule a day off together. So tomorrow, we are going to San Francisco''s Jewelry Mart. We''re also visiting another independent wholesale jeweler in SF, whom I found on yelp.com (Atlas Diamond Company). I drew up a spreadsheet with at least 10 vendors, 6, who are all on pricescope.com. In doing my research, I''m seeking out the right diamond, and intend to pass that info along to my BF, since it''s his finances that will be most abused by this.
I''ve been engaged before, but it was significantly less anticipatory and exciting. I really love my man, and waiting all this while for him to afford me a diamond ring that I''ve earnestly researched and contemplated at length will do us both the proper service, rather than resorting to a buttrape by some B&M jeweler.
I feel I''m pretty damn lucky to be able to choose what I want, at least to the extent that I can spec out EXACTLY what the jeweler can obtain, and let him know, so that he can keep his desire to surprise me.
Now, if only I could decide what I want to wear for the next 80 years..
