Well, only one month shy of dating 15 years the impossible has happened...I''m engaged! Let me just tell you how hard it was to refrain from sending a group email to all my family and friends with the subject line "Did you hear that loud cracking noise today?...Well, it was Hell freezing over because I''M ENGAGED!" I didn''t do that...instead my subject line was more like "For those of you who have known me for a long time, make sure you are sitting down!"

I had heard that 7-7-07 was a lucky day…well, it is officially my engagement date! BF rang my doorbell at midnight on Friday night. I peeped out and saw it was him and when I opened the door he was down on one knee, ring in hand saying, “It is now midnight on 7-7-07 which is supposed to be the luckiest day. I wanted to be here the minute it became the luckiest day to ask you if you will make me the luckiest man and be my wife. Will you marry me?” Of course I said YES!

Now, of course, everyone wants to know when we''re getting married....geez, people, it took this long just to get the ring, let me digest it!...LOL! Seriously, I have great friends and family who only want to celebrate my happiness...gotta love ''em. My response is that it will be a very small ceremony--I''m just not up to planning a wedding--I''m simply too exhausted from dating...

Here''s a peek at the ring.

I have also posted more picks in SMTR.

Congrats, you have been a very patient lady!

I love the date, it is so easy to remember and I think it lucky 7 and the triple 7 on the slots when you win!
 
Dianne, I commented on your gorgeous ring, but I had to stop in and hear about the proposal! Now I''ve gotta ask your DF, what took you SO LONG?????

I think you may win the prize for dating the longest before getting engaged! You are more patient than many of us...I might have rung his neck long before now!

But all kidding aside, I am very happy for you and don''t blame you a bit for wanting a simple wedding. We went to a wedding this weekend and I was thinking how stressful big weddings must be! Anyway, we''ll have to have a Charlotte area get-together in the next few weeks so we can celebrate your new ring!!!
 
Congrats!! LOVE your ring!

Crazy, huh? I guess we should check out Guiness Book of Records and see just how close we came to being in the next publication. And you know what''s funny?...we have been through so many things together, awful things like the deaths of our grandparents and his father and FI had a heart attack 2 years ago and had 6 bypasses at age 37, so I hope this means we can now endure the marriage. We don''t live together, never have, so the 24/7 routine may prove challenging. We are used to having our time apart and alone.

Let''s do get together soon with Tacori. I would love to meet both of you and bling-talk!

Thank you, Everyone! I am just so excited to have a story and a ring to share with everyone!

FYI...I added some CAD drawings to my posting in SMTR in case it will help someone new to the design process, like I was, know what to expect.
 
Yay!!! Congratulations!! Your ring is gorgeous.
 
Congratulations and enjoy your beautiful ring!
 
Thanks to all! I''m still getting used to having a ring on the left hand!!
