proposal story and ring photos!

[tigian]

Great proposal story! Love Bailey! I'm officially in love with your ring! It's gorgeous! The detailing is delicious. Plus on top of all that, to have OEC stones from his grandmother...how special.

Wow!! It''s sooo pretty!!! It is original, a little antiquey, and yet very classic. Congrats on your engagement! (and your bling

)

This looks HUGE for a under 1 carat ring. My guess would have been 1.4 carats for the center!

[Squirrly]

congratulations!
and i was wondering about the exceptionally early proposal time you had there, i was commenting to my FF how you must be a morning person cause i prolly would''ve ended up whacking him with a pillow and rolled over, refusing to get up.

glad to know it worked out even if you weren''t the happiest to be awakened
and that''s one gorgeous shiny you have there, though i don''t know which is cuter, the story or his little helper

is bailey going to be in your wedding!? I know our dogs are! hehe, can''t wait to find them wedding outfits!

monkey- yes! definitely! we were in maine this weekend and decided we''d love to have an outdoor wedding (beach or mountain. me - beach. him - mountain lol). and bailey is going to be the ring bearer. she will present the wedding rings just like the presented my engagement ring. i think it makes for a cute story

i think it''s fabulous you''re finding wedding outfits!!! they''re going to look a bagillion times cuter than they already are!

thank you tigian! we definitely love including a family heirloom in the ring and went with a three stone ring particularly because we wanted to use them so badly. i think it turned out great!

Congratulations b.anna!!! I have been dying to see your thread!!!


I love the proposal, so sweet and intimate. And I love that your FI included Bailey! That doggie is too cute for his own good!


And the ring, my God, the ring!!! Just stunning! The stone is beautiful and the setting really shows the stone off beautifully. Just gorgeous!

idoc - i am so elated he asked so early! i was totally expecting a weekend proposal. i actually told him your proposal story after you posted your thread and how sweet and thoughtful your fiance was in making it super special! i know it''s not particularly B''s style, but i just had to share your story with him! now i can join you in BWW

happy i''m so happy to hear that! LOL before getting the ring i was perusing this site so much i was worried that my ring may look too small for my hand. I think with the halo and the side diamonds, the center stone looks a lot better. i am so happy with the final product, and i think the amazing cut on the stone also helps. thanks for the wonderful compliments!

thank you sammy!!! it wasn''t what i was expecting but i do love that our puppy was involved! B was very sweet and i think people were more excited that he used bailey than him actually proposing!

HAHAHAH omg i wish! he said it didn''t go quite as he planned when i was acting all grumpy. of course if i knew he was going to propose i would''ve acted more decently and lady-like! but B was clever because he knows i''m not a morning person and knew i wouldn''t expect it at 7AM! but def loved the bailey was involved because if B was the one waking me up, i also would''ve whacked him with the pillow!

EVERYONE thank you for all the beautiful compliments and happy wishes! both our families and our friends are very excited for us. thank goodness nobody said "finally." i feel so amazingly lucky and my ring reminds me every day of how much my fiance loves me. we just spent a wonderful weekend in maine so now it''s back to the real world of work, laundry, and puppy care taking lol.

B has a much better camera so hopefully i will be able to get better, clearer pictures. and post them soon
