That's awesome Mif! What kind of rings did you try on? Do you like any specific style or are you still feeling out your preferences?

After I posted here what an angel I am, I went and tried on my ring. I told my bf I did and he was a little annoyed, but he wasn't exactly surprised. Since we've received it, I've probably taken it out 5 times without permission. I really need to stop though since it looks smaller and smaller each time and then I might be less enthused when he finally proposes.

I'm not exactly sure what he's waiting for, I'm booking our flight to Bora Bora on Monday...

I know exactly what I want it is just feeling out the clarity and colour and carat. This is what I want- photo from Leon Mege. Have gotten a quote from him. Just need to work out the price etc we are looking at 4-4.25 carat center stone. Who knows how long we will be looking until my man wants to actually bite the bullet

(by the way I am not sure if I am allowed to upload this photo or not please let me know and I will change it if I am not allowed. Thanks!)

 

[TooPatient]

Aww she's so cute! But totally gross about the worms/fleas. Be careful about the fleas though, those things can stick around for a long time once they're found! For 8 weeks though, she looks like she'll be pretty big once she's grown. I think she's already as big/bigger than my little guy! She looks like she's taking well to the leash though.

Oh, and btw, I don't have cable. Well I have the basic basic local channels. I don't miss it though, I hardly have time for TV and if I had access, I'd probably waste more time than I already do. Whenever I'm at my parents house I watch food network and the wedding channel.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Nothing wrong with not having cable.... I just find it strange that there is a house that doesn't have the cables already run to hook up.


She was only in the house overnight (less than 24 hours before going to the vet. Millie got an internal de-wormer/anti-parasite/flea-treatment pill and a topical flea treatment. We've kept her going potty in the front yard so the other animals don't come into contact with worms or parasites. The two cats and other dog got Frontline treatments the same day Millie did..... So we've hopefully caught the problem before it could get started.

 

[TooPatient]

Too - what a pretty, happy girl! But yuck about the worms, just shows again how irresponsible the breeders were. She is definitely going to be a big girl... How much does she weigh now and did the vet give you an estimate for how big she would get?

I hope the introductions go well! We got our second dog when our first was 2 years old and she didn't immediately like the puppy. Just give them some time, usually they work everything out themselves.

Bg - Ah, so you did send it away to get sized. How much bigger did you go? My ring is sitting in a safe in my bedroom, taunting me by the day. I have to go in the safe almost everyday and I always want to snap open the box and look at it (but I don't ). I've started asking my bf the last couple days when he's going to propose since I just want to wear my ring! He thinks it's funny to torture me, but my patience is waning.

Why so down? I've been down too - I got my season ski pass today and I look absolutely ridiculous in my picture. I'm quite slender, but the angle made my face look ginormous for some reason. I wish I could laugh at it, but I'm so embarassed.

Cali -- My theory is that the longer you have to carry the id card, the worse the picture will be.... Temporary pass = gorgeous.... 3 month pass = still pretty good.... seasonal = ...... 5 + year (like licenses, passports, etc) =


Millie was just over 6 pounds on Thursday at the vet. Last night (Sunday) I weighed her here after a day of letting out more than she ate and she was about 7.2 pounds.
No clue how big she'll be. One vet said probably 20-30 pounds. Another said 30-50+. Neighbor said 40-50+



So.....
Why are you down?

 

[TooPatient]

That dog is too cute! Glad you are being careful about the worms/fleas!

Calibali: With a trip on the way, you have to believe it'll happen then! Try not to try it on too much (even though I know I would). Your bf has to do a better job of hiding it!!

Just had a really funny convo with the SO about rings. He joked that I should *want* to wait until he had a better paying job so I could get a better ring! I told him I could get exactly what I wanted for about 3K, because the sapphire center stone I want is about a third of the price of a diamond the same size. His response: "I guess the side stones will just have to be bigger then!"

How many times do I have to say that I don't care how much it costs before someone believes me!

On another note: I am SO BORED. Everyone is away for labor day weekend and my SO has his first night on call. I just did all my school work for the week... now what?!

Forever and ever and ever.....

Nah.... He'll come around when he actually sees what it is you're looking at. I think guys have this thing about imagining ALL jewelry as massively expensive

Sapphires are SOoooooo pretty

Beautiful!

 

[calibali]

Too - wow, the poor little puppy! I don't even want to imagine the kind of conditions she was in before you adopted her. Worms, fleas and parasites, gah! It's so great that you are nursing her back to health. How long until she can meet your other pets or did you already do the intros? I love that you have 4 pets, I want more but my bf thinks our two needy dogs are enough.

And it will definitely be interesting to see how big she gets. What size would fit your household? We have yorkies and you just never know when they're going to stop growing. They'd eventually reach my ideal weight and I would be like, stop growing pleeeease. Neither of them honored my request...

 

[calibali]

Mif! Holy cow that is going to be one amazing ring. I looked at that exact setting but I'm not dressy enough to pull it off. It certainly is beautiful though. If you don't mind me asking, what size is your finger? I cannot imagine a 4ct round, that would be one of the biggest on here. Got any pics?

 

[calibali]

So today I booked 3 out of 4 flights for our elopement (the 4th flight will be available on wednesday). We have chosen our wedding date, which I love since it's a nice sounding date and it's unlikely anyone else will have it. Now I just need to get engaged, but it doesn't seem like my bf is taking any steps to get that underway. Sometimes I wish he wasn't such a procrastinator, it's killing me and making me crabby about the whole process.

I wish my finger was smaller it is a 6.5 from what I remember.

I didn't take any pics but next time I try some on I will. I am not in the states so if I went with Leon it would be all online unless we did it during our yearly trip to the US. I think I will need to try and find some one here that can do something similar.

I do have a picture of a 3.5 with a bezel (my mothers) on my hand that I will upload later on today

 

[calibali]

Oooh yay! I love big ole rounds, so upload away. Just any fyi on Leon - I never met with him and only spoke with him once on the phone. It's really not a big deal to go with him without meeting him first. For a ring that spectacular, a Leon is a guarantee of unparalleled quality and I don't know that I would trust anyone else with all that pave work.

And you definitely don't have big fingers, that 4ct is going to look huuuuuge. I love it. I thought my diamond was going to be too big and every time I have sneaked a peak, I have kind of wished I went a little bigger. You're definitely not going to have to worry about DSS. Lucky gal!

Ok so here is the photo of a 3.5 carat on my hand.
**Edited by Moderator: Please upload to forum to prevent broken links and prevent privacy**

I was more worried if I went with a diamond from him without seeing it setting not a problem but the stone I would like to see before hand.

What do you girls think about that sort of situation?

 

[calibali]

Link doesn't work. I know we're not supposed to link to outside hosting sites, but I've always used imgur. Or you can just upload directly.

So you're going to get your round directly from Leon? Most people on here have gotten antique/chunky cushions from him, I don't think I've read of anyone getting a round from Perry. I guess it just depends on how you prioritize the qualities of your round and how much you are willing to trust them. I don't know how comfortable I would be buying a diamond that expensive and having it set before seeing it. Have you considered WF, BGD, GOG or the like?

 

[captainmcgee]

Sorry all.

Here I am about to upload the photo here.

I am thinking I will source a diamond from around here. I want to be able to see it before it is set etc. I am fairly picky and as you said it is going to be a big purchase so I don't want to not be absolutely in LOVE with it.

What do you girls think- should I compromise on colour or clarity and up the carat size a bit? I don't think it will be happening for a while but I can't be sure.

Here is the 3.5 carat on my 6.5 finger. Sorry not the best photo I took it on my phone... :-O

Up the size?!!???

That 3.5 gives you GREAT coverage. I don't think you want to give up any color or clarity. Imagine the sparkle and amazingness of a good quality 4 ct (or even 3 ct!!!). I've seen (in person) a gorgeous 2.5 ct with amazing stats and it was just ... WOW.... I've also seen 2+ ct (some closer to 3+) with lower color and clarity and they just fall flat -- especially when the woman is also wearing other jewelry with visibly better quality diamonds (makes her e-ring look cheap, bland, unimpressive).
I know there are lower colors that still look amazing. Just make sure you see it in person and look at what it'll look like with your other diamonds.


Do you plan to wear your e-ring all the time or just on special occassions?
Something you may want to think about is how comfortable a stone that size will be to wear. (If you want to wear your e-ring all the time, you want something that will be comfortable and allow you to wear it without it getting in the way all the time.)
(I don't think there is anything wrong with either way, I just know that this is something I didn't think much about until I actually tried things on and (mostly) after I started wearing mine and noticing the little stuff I do that I hadn't really considered when choosing)

 

[TooPatient]

We have chosen our wedding date, which I love since it's a nice sounding date and it's unlikely anyone else will have it.

Yay!!!

He'll get around to it. Men seem to either not get how important it is to us or like torture.
Give him time.... maybe he's planning something romantic? Has a certain date in mind???

 

[beezygal]

Mif, that is already very big. It looks good on your finger. I don't think you should give up color or clarity, even cut. For a size that big, you really should give up clarity. You want something eye clean.

 

[beezygal]

Ladies! Yesterday night after dinner, my FI wants to go somewhere quiet and talk. I was thinking... Uh oh... This is something bad. He said it's not. He then pulled me close to him and said he kinda has doubts about marrying me. I can't believe this is happening to me, I can't stop my tears as I'm writing this now. However, I need to let it out. I don't want to talk to any of my friends. He said he has doubts sometimes cuz I always say stupid stuff. Well, sometimes I say stuff without thinking. He knows I'm not perfect. He is not too. I love him for the way he is. He said part of him wants to marry me, but sometimes he has doubts. He has doubts after our Hawaii trip. I told him if he wants to call the engagement off, he should do it now. I don't want to be left at the alter. I don't want him to divorce me right after we are married. He doesnt want to call it off. He kept on saying he loves me and wants to be with me.I asked him if the wedding is tomorrow, will he show up. He said he would. He kept on hugging me tight and kissing me, telling me I am a very wonderful girl. I told him if we call it off now, this is it for us. I will not want to have anything to do with him. There will be no turning back. He knows that too. He kept saying part of him wants to marry me. I am so hurt. We'll see what happened. I just can't stop crying. When I got home yesterday night, I was reading the message he wrote for me on friendster when he proposed. I can't stop crying. Then, he called me and heard me cry. He said we'll be fine, we'll make it through. I woke up this morning and my tears can't stop streaming down.

 

[TooPatient]

BG -- Big hugs...

I think it is normal for people to have doubts after an engagement. It is just.... Real. It isn't something that you'll do "some day" it is something that you ARE doing. I think it is normal for people to look at each other and wonder "is he/she really the right one? Can I live with (fill in blank) for the rest of my life?"

(You aren't alone.... I'm sure FI's had doubts and I know I have (yesterday was especially bad))


It'll get better. He's just nervous.

 

[beezygal]

Thanks Too. Hugs! I don't know if I am over-reacting. It just hurts so much hearing him say it. My heart feels like it's being cut open.

 

[TooPatient]

Hey BG ---

FI and I have read relationship books that are quite good (written by Dr. John Gottman) and they've got a great relationship exercise. We did it once before and it was AWESOME. What it is is a 7 week "exercise" that gets you thinking about the good things in your relationship. The positive thoughts make you happier so you are more positive so you think about other good memories so you are happier... (cycle of positive thoughts and happiness continues)

The way it works is that there is a thought & task for each day (Monday - Friday) that promotes thinking about the positive stuff in your relationship and good traits of your SO. You don't have to share them with each other. What we did was I'd e-mail the thought & task of the day to B and then we'd both think about them during the day while we're at work. Sometimes we'd share our happy thought/memory and other times we wouldn't.

FI and I are having a stressful time right now too and we're going to start the 7 weeks today. I'll post the thought/task of the day each day and you and your FI can do it too if you want.

 

[TooPatient]

You and FI can share or not share your answers. Can write them down or not. The whole point is to intentionally think about the positive stuff so that your brain gets trained to think about it even when you've had a bad day.



Week 1, day 1:

Thought: I am genuinely fond of my partner.

Task: List one characteristic you find endearing or lovable.

 

[beezygal]

Thank you. I'll try that. Don't know if my FI has any time for this though. He's so busy at work. Sigh. Today is his first day back after his 2 weeks break. Tomorrow is my bday. I don't even want to do anything.

 

[TooPatient]

Thank you. I'll try that. Don't know if my FI has any time for this though. He's so busy at work. Sigh. Today is his first day back after his 2 weeks break. Tomorrow is my bday. I don't even want to do anything.

That is the nice thing about this 7 week exercise -- doesn't really take any time. What I do is e-mail FI the thought of the day in the morning and then he can think about it whenever. It actually starts to happen pretty naturally so it doesn't really take any time. (like if I sent you an e-mail that said "think about your favorite vacation together" your mind would sort of drift to different happy vacation memories as you're doing other stuff)


This is the part of engagement that doesn't really get talked about but I'm sure it is really common.
Don't let this ruin your b-day. Keep enjoying each other and making happy memories. He'll relax.

 

[beezygal]

Thank you again Too. I'll try that. Right now, I just can't stop thinking that we might end up going separate ways.

 

[TooPatient]

Thank you again Too. I'll try that. Right now, I just can't stop thinking that we might end up going separate ways.

I'm right here with you. It hurts so bad.

I don't even know what happened, but we wound up in an arguement that led to me saying that I'm VERY close to just walking out of the house and never coming back.... to which B said that he was VERY close to not caring.


I'm sure it'll be fine (for you guys and us). It's probably just stress and tiredness and the end of summer coming....
Add that to the thinking about "OMG.... we're really going to spend the rest of our lives together... " and well....

It'll get better. (at least that is what I'm telling myself)

 

[TooPatient]

Hey Jessie --- How was your trip?

 

[Jessie702]

OMG...i leave for vacation and lots of thigns happen .

Bg- i am so sorry about what your FI said. I dont really know what to say, im kind of speechless actually. I dont know if this is something that can be overlooked, or something that needs to be addressed. Just like, i dont know if you would live me personal opinion, i know if it were me, and im not advising you to do this, but i would put the engagement on hold. I know i want to my future husband to be 100% sure he wants to marry, or at leat 90% sure. I want to make sure he doesnt want to not marry me because i say something stupid sometimes. All people say something stupid,but i would like to know, if my stupidity is going to make him upset every day of his life. I know theres days im not 100% sure of C, but than again he hasnt proposed yet. I wouldnt want him to propose if he sometimes doesnt want marry me because of something. Im a all or nothing kind of girl, and he knows that. Hence maybe the reason he hasnt proposed yet. Thats just my take on it, and im an ear for you if you need BG. I consider you a friend, you too TOO, and want what is best for you.

TOO- i am sorry your FI said, he is close to not caring. Im also sorry you are going through your own bit. I really dont know what to say either, besides i can be a ear for you and listen.

I know i have no room to say anythign since im not engaged, but i can give my honest opinions, and hope for the best for both of you. Maybe sometimes the best thing is to be still, and listen. I know i did that earlier with C, both of us still, by the pool in the rain( yes, crazy i know) with our own thoughts.


My trip was too short, but too long. I guess the drive was lone, 6 hours in the car, ( small rental) and the dogs.It was also bittersweet. I havent gone to see my fathers grave in over 6 years, and there was a bit of an issue. After burying my father, the cemetery reliazed they messed up, and moved him. Well in his file, and on the map book, he is still listed under the old spot, and not the new spot. The staff had a attitude with me, when i asked them to point it out, and they saw they made a mistake. Im actually calling right now to make sure its changed in the file, along to make sure correct paperwork was signed. Im still so pissed off about it, its a good thing i went, or God knows how long that could have been messed up. *SIGH*. C helped me clean my father, and grandfathers headstones, and bought flowers for me to put there for them. It was nice to just hold him and cry and grieve for awhile. Im totally breaking downright now actually. We also drove around town and went and saw the old house. Its changes so much, it was heartbreaking. I showed him the college campus there where i used to work in the summers, and downtown. We meet up with my brother, who he hasnt met, and had dinner at his house with him. I feel kind of guilty because my brother wants us to come over for dinner a second night, but i declined since we went to go out and have dinner. The dogs had a lot of fun eating at the outside cafes i found, even though it was hot. The doggie stroller came in handy. Overall it was a good trip, if we go again, we are flying though. LoL.....

You would think they would be careful. I just called and the lady i met with isnt there, so i spoke to another lady. I told hert the story, and shes like, let me call you back right away after i pull the file. I am so stressed about this, i dont even know what to do.

 

[beezygal]

Thanks Jessie!

My FI just called during his lunch break. We talked for a little bit. He wants to know if I'm alright. Too, you are right on. He is a little bit nervous. He admits that he might have a little cold feet. He said that he loves me very much and wants to marry me. He knows we'll get through it and we'll get married at the end of the day. I talked to him about the 7 weeks exercise. I think we'll give it a try. What is the book call? I might start on the first week, first day exercise with him today. Thank you TOO!

Thanks for your concern, Jessie. I consider you and Too my BEST friends here. I know what you mean by holding the engagement off. I know exactly what you mean. I wouldn't want to marry someone who has doubts AT ALL. Hopefully, he's just nervous and has a little cold feet since we're really going to get married, like what Too said.

Thank you!
