GOOD MORNING ALL!!!
Well i am proposing in 12 days! I cannot wait for the days to count down, i have had all the plans done for two months, now it is just a waiting game. I will explain my ideas, and show the ring, but will like any feedback.
I am dropping my fiance off at work like any other day, but then I am rushing home and packing our bags and then driving back to pick up at work and off to the airport. We are flying to Lake Tahoe, her hometown, and spending the night in a romantic hotel. Saturday morning we are getting up and looking at possible venue locations for our wedding, which we have talked about in details already. At the fourth stop, 15 family members will be gathering(hiding) and waiting for us. It is a gondola lookout point that overlooks the entire lake. I will bring her to the railing and then signal the family to come over and that is when i will ask the question. I want it to be like the Zales Commerical in rome. After that we are spending the next 3 days planning and meeting with vendors, then flying home.

Few questions. If you were just suprised with this, would you want to meet with florists and caterers? I set it because we are 2200 miles away from Tahoe, and I am not sure how many times we will get back. Also we want to have the wedding in 10 months, so planning needs to happen soon. Or would you want to just relax with family and enjoy the moment and worry about planning later?

The ring, it is a Tension setting Gelin Abaci that we both picked out together. It represents her perfectly.

Well thanks in advance for the opinions.

Hi, i love the ring.. i love tension sets!!!
did you work with tension set company or a jeweler?
 
I worked with a jeweler that deals with Tension Rings a lot, but he sends them to the manufacture in California. Only three companies actually make the tension rings. Gelin Abaci is probably the largest though. Glad you like the ring. It is perfect for my girlfriend and I, as we are not very traditional but value design and modern techniques.
 
by any chance was this jewler Dimend Scaasi located in Chicago? if so i have been looking at their selection and i am in love with tension settings as they fit my personality as well.. do you feel safe with the tension design.. i am still a bit leary on its stability. Any words of advice to calm my un easy feeling?
it is strange because reading what you are planning on doing sounds like my dream proposal with a beautiful ring.. she is going to love it all!
my dream e-ring is almost exactly like that.. just with a princess cut and a bit more squareness to it...
 
It''s a beautiful setting! I''m so excited for your girlfriend - she''s going to love it! Congrats!
 
MJBOONE13... how did it go????? i want details!
 
Did you ask her? How did it go? Did ya''ll end up speaking to vendors? Any hand shots coming our way?
 
seriously, we require and update.. and more pics!
