Not waiting, but empathetic

[aveda6]

I just wanted to post that i have learned (and continue to learn) so much from the terrific women on this site. I am a man and have recently proposed to my GF and, fortunately for me, she agreed to marry me....i have used this website for wonderful bits of advice and I hope that i can continue to do so in the future. I had a very wonderful engagement (you can find details in my other posts if you''re at all interested) and I feel that, after having really given up on finding true love, I have finally found exactly that without even looking.....I am overly excited about the engagement and the wedding plans and hopefully the posters here won''t mind if a participate...I want this wedding to be the epitome of every desire that my FI has and I am committed to make this work...I am glad I have found this site...so far that has resulted in many positive comments re the ring and there should be many more to come....

What a heart warming post aveda! I''ve run across many of your posts recently, and I always like reading what you have to say. Please continue to stick around! BTW, I remember the ring you bought your new fiance. It''s so beautiful the image is burned into my memory.

But I''d still like to see the pics again if you get ''em handy.

aveda, you are just the sweetest! You did a wonderful job with the ring and proposing - it''s so refreshing to see a guy who is as excited about the engagement as the girl!

Wow, everyone here is so nice and so supportive. thank you all very much. I''ve been talking to my fiance non-stop about this site and all of the wonderful (and emotional) stories that people have posted. She hasn''t had time to go online much but I''ll get her to at least check out the bride section as we get closer. She did mention that her mom (my FMIL) is already starting in with the "we have to go dress shopping, we have to pick the venue, etc" and we''ve been engaged less than 7 days. It''s all fun though....looking forward to being a part of the PS community.

BTW, I don''t have many pics of the ring but I added one here to keep people from having to search around....

That''s a lovely ring. I hope you enjoy being engaged and have a great time planning the wedding! I hope you stick around, I love having guys on PS.

Gorgeous ring! Please tell your fiance to check us out at BWW - the more, the merrier! And it''s definitely a grooms site, too (although not many men post there!), so check us out!

Oh Aveda, how exciting! I hope you enjoy being here as much as wel will enjoy having you (and your lovely fiance if she stops in)! Congratulations on finding the love of your life, and your engagement. And thank you for sharing your story with us, it''s so lovely to see people stick around after their ring purchases and stay a while so that we can get to know them better! Your post made me smile..in fact I''m still smiling!
