[Still_Waiting]

Congratulations!!! It''s looks beautiful (but I can''t wait to see more pics!)! I love the proposal dialogue! So cute!!!

 

[sammyj]

Awww ladies...thanks so much for your congratulations! I am still calling friends today and my Fi(!) is as well...my hands still shake and I get nervous...even when HE''S the one telling HIS friends that we''re engaged! I hope you''re ready for the pics because I''ve got a ton of them! We have a camera that''s a quasi-SLR. I know nothing about cameras.

There''s so much that I didn''t mention in my initial post. The stone was purchased from James Allen and the custom setting was done by a local jeweller. Here''s a linky for those in the GTA. D cannot rave enough about his experience with the jeweller and they will be expecting an amazing thank you letter from me!

The first pic is a silly pic of me. I like to be as goofy and ugly as possible, and I made sure to google that this act wasn''t culturally offensive. Hopefully no one is insulted by this...

6.53 x 6.48 x 3.95
Table 54%
Depth 60.7%
Crown 33
Pavilion 40.8

This stone''s supposed to be a fire breathing dragon but the sun was setting when I was taking pics....

Oh my, it is *magnificent* -- your FI did an outstanding job. I love how it is a very classic look from further away but then reveals all the intricacy and detail upon closer look. Congratulations again!
