Just wanted to introduce myself. I''ve been dating my boyfriend for a little over a year. We are best friends and so in love. He makes me so happy. We''ve both pretty much known we were "the one" for each other since the beginning. He''s a little older than me, and the only one of his friends who isn''t married. I''m glad he was holding out for the right person, me! My friends are starting to settle down as well, so we''ve been going to a bunch of weddings together, which got us to talking about when, where, how, etc for our wedding. We joke about it a lot, things like "will we have that at our wedding?" but things are definitely more serious now. We went ring shopping together a month ago or so at Tiffany''s. Of course, I made it clear there was no need for the "name" but I had an idea of what ring I liked because he had encouraged me to look on my own first. I am dying for a Tiffany Legacy inspired ring!!!! It''s so my style, and for some reason I just don''t like the way the traditional round stones look on my hand.

His uncle has purchased many diamonds (including an enormous round- had to be at least 6 carats!!! for his aunt) and has a diamond dealer in NYC he uses all the time. His uncle told him to let him know when he was ready because he would get him a good deal with his guy. So, I know where he is getting my ring but not when. It took me a while to decide on the legacy style because I was struggling with something more traditional like the Novo, and I also loved how the Lucida looked with a shared prong band. But when we went ring shopping I think he saw the look on my face when I put on the legacy and he knew before I did that it was the ring for me. When I finally told him I decided that was the one, he told me *if* he had gotten a ring "yesterday" that is what he would have gotten. Phew!

He keeps me on my toes by sometimes acting like it will be soon and sometimes acting like it won''t be. So I have no idea except that it will be sometime in the next 11 months (not sure if it would be 2008 or 2009, he wouldn''t get that specific because it only gave a few months in 2008). We are going back to Sonoma in October and my friends and coworkers think it might be then. Who knows! But anyway, that is a little about me. I love this board, it certainly helps me kill time at work and helps with my "farkle" obsession!
 
Hello! Welcome! Your story with your BF reminded me so much of my situation! My finace is a little older than me, most of his friends are married, he was waiting for the right one (we both knew early on we were made for eachother), and our relationship also moved into "marriage territory" very quickly. Oh one more thing, Tiffany is the first place we went ring shopping too. I also made it very clear that the name meant nothing to me. I fell in love with the TIffany Novo, so he got me a style very similar and I like it so much more than the Novo now!

He proposed to me last month, just a little shy of our 1 1/2 year anniversary. It sounds like it will be soon for you! And when he gets you the ring, you will think the Legacy looks inferior to yours! Good luck, even though you don''t need it!
 
Welcome to PS!

How exciting that you two are looking at rings! I say, milk it for all it''s worth.

I''m engaged now and although I am IN LOVE with my ring (also tiffany legacy inspired) I wish I still had an excuse to go to jewelery stores and try on different things. Haha.

You may definitely want to think about going custom for a tiffany legacy inspired ring. We went custom for mine and now I wouldn''t ever trade it for a real tiffany''s!

Welcome!

Enjoy the suspense!
 
Thanks for the welcome ladies!

Izzy03- I LOVE your ring!!!!! So gorgeous, and huge :) I love the comment about how the ring kept growing as he kept working on it. I was recently at a friend''s wedding with my boyfriend and I tried one of the the guest''s rings on that was Legacy style. It was about a 2 carat center stone. It looked huge on my finger (size 3.75). The girl was a size 6 so the ring was way too big on me. So she commented that it was too big. My bf later said it was offensive that she said the ring was too big for my finger because he thought she meant two carats was too big for me. He is so silly, she meant the size 6 was too big not two carats :) I have no idea what size he is planning but he did make me try on the 2 ct Legacy when we went ring shopping because he wanted to see how big would be too gaudy. Who doesn''t love hearing that

Pearldaahling- your legacy inspired came out great as well. Your engagement story was so cute, especially him locking the keys in the car!

Sparklylibra- I just had a birthday too and was hopeful...but nothing happened. I''ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Back to watching Platinum Weddings...haha.
