Hello everyone,
I was saving my 100th post for a formal introduction of myself and my recent proposal. But silly me, I forgot all about it and only noticed it afterwards. Now I know 100 is nothing compared to those of you who have been here for more than a couple of years, and I know that no one will even be able to tell later since the system doesn''t tell you what # post this is, but I kinda used my first post on something that didn''t get interpreted too well and didn''t get a chance to introduce myself properly, so I wanted to make up for that. (Thanks to everyone who still made me feel welcome, though I must have come across as a weirdo lurker stranger!
) I was also waiting for the proposal, and figured I would post in this thread and introduce myself then, but I couldn''t find my camera after the proposal, so that didn''t work out either... Oh we did get pics of the proposal, but while my FI''s camera is awesome, it''s not the best camera for macro shots, so I was putting off telling my proposal story for lack of ring shots.
But. I wanna get this done with, and pictures or no pictures or crappy pictures, here''s my story.
In a nutshell, FI and I looked around for a ring for about half a year. Which is about as long as we''ve been dating. I know, it sounds crazy, but we both knew we were getting into this relationship for the better when we first started seeing each other as BFGF. FI originally was thinking of a RB solitaire. I was dead set on getting an elongated cushion. After contemplating pretty much every shape, setting, color, stone and metal out there, FI ended up getting me this OEC solitaire and proposed Valentine''s Day evening.
