the ring is in and on my finger!

we have only been together for 3 months. but when you know, you know. our family and friends are being tons of supportive, and we''re really excited.
we''re going to wait until next september to get married, and we''re going to do it down in RIchmond (we''re from right outside of DC) at maymont. (www.maymont.org) in the italian gardens. horse and carriage and everything!

but now for what you wanted to know most..

[laurel_aurelia]

thanks, guys!

and though you could never tell with how fat my fingers appearto be in this picture (swelling cause i''m sick, maybe?) i''m a size 5.

 

[Kaleigh]

It''s beautiful, congratulations!!!!

 

[jellybean]

I''m jealous that you''re I size 5!

Gorgeous ring! Congratulations! Are you going to get a matching band?

 

[Patty]

It''s beautiful!

 

[njc]

Congratulations!!! You ring looks great! Love the diamonds in the band.

I''m very familiar with Richmond and Maymont... your wedding will be beautiful!!!

 

[laurel_aurelia]

yes, i will get a matching band. christian bernard does not have one for this ring, bu will design one for us. fortunately, the chapel is high enough off the finger that a ring will set flush with it.

i''m so excited! thanks for your feedback, guys! i''ve been a PS stalker for months now and am finally comingo ut of the woodwork to share my little bit of sparkle.

 

[researcher]

You are so lucky your w-band will sit flush! Mine didn''t which is why I have the spacer. Again, beautiful choice in stone and setting!

 

[Jelly]

Wow, three months!

Lovely ring and your wedding locations sounds so romantic! I''m sure it will be fabulous!

Best of luck!
