louisvgirl,

Your ring is fantastic! How big is that baby? and what''s your finger size? It''s an absolute headlight!

You mentioned your fingers so I thought I''d add a little info on something I did after we got engaged. (and I thought I was the only person who noticed these things). From the time I got my ring, up until now, I''ve been waxing my fingers, hands and forearms. I looked at my hands and looked at my ring on my hand and thought.... there''s no way I''m taking the hand over hand wedding picture of our rings with hairy hands! I still wax because I think it looks so much nicer. I guess I''ve been doing it for 13 yrs now. Sorry to go off subject.......... back to your gorgeous bling!

Wow, beautiful! Congrats!

 

[nessvan12]

That thing is so incredibly ginormous and beautiful! Congrats to you!

 

[louisvgirl]

Thanks ladies for your kind words. I''m glad you all like it. So I have a question. Do you ladies still stare at your ring on a daily basis? Or does this obsessive behavior decline with time? (because at this point, it''s only been 3 days, I''m surprised I have not got into a car accident while looking at my ring while driving)

 

[lumpkin]

No, it never ends. I still stare at mine a lot. Congratulations! You got a beauty, and the setting looks great on your teeny tiny little hand!

ETA: P.S.: I didn't notice the hair until I re-read. Hey, get those waxed, will ya???

Seriously, no one is going to be even remotely interested in anything but the bling.
