"Either a Precision set solitaire with Asscher eternity w-ring, or some kind of Flush Fit 3 stone Asscher with the Asscher eternity."

Lauren, I''m drooling!!!!!! An Asscher eternity band????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??? Be still my heart!!

 

[blueroses]

JCJD, if you really want to drool, go to www.danielk.net and go to the bridal collection gallery where there should be a picture of his "U-ternity" band, all made with little asschers!!!! It''s really beyond compare--I saw a version of it w/ EC when we went to look at Daniel K stuff. It''s kind of overwhelming--I tried that puppy on my hand and it was like there was a mirrored chandalier on my finger!! (I can''t figure out how to copy a pic from there b/c it''s "flash" whatever that means.)

Ooooooooooh I know!!!!!!! My poor heart!! My poor wallet!!!! I was browsing his site the other day and thought, "Gee, does Daniel K like Asschers, or WHAT?!?" His site is pure eye-candy!! They''re like a car accident - but in a good way!! You can''t stop staring!!!!

I'll answer these as soon as I get the chance. I just wanted to pop in and say to TwinkleToes that I'm glad I'm not the only one that is 27 and their bf/h2b is 37.

But I think IslandDreams has us beat by a little.

[eks6426]

Diamonds4Me...Yes, I do have you beat by a little. A lot of people have been surprised at our age difference...and we have talked about it a lot to make sure it''s not an issue. But I guess love does not know any age limits. He looks younger than his age (most people think he''s in his late 30s) but even that doesn''t matter. It is kind of weird though...his ex graduated from high school the year I was born! (She was older than him.) But the age difference is fun....we get to show each other a bit of a different world since we remember the decades differently. One of the funniest is remakes of songs...there will be some 80s song on (my hs years) and he''s like, "oh, yeah that was a remake from the late 60s...so and so did it." I usually had no idea.

If i could wave my magic little wand and krinkle my little nose and make it tomorrow, i would!! But, he is dead set on surprising me, and also trying to make sure i''ve forgotten what the ring really looks like so i''ll fall in love with it all over again! I definitely remember what it looks like, but its been 5 1/2 months since i''ve seen it, so i think i''ve probably forgotten a few details! Thanks for mentioning it -- i can''t wait to share with everyone who''s been gracious enough to share with me!

3. Color: H or Above

4. Cut: Not sure

5. Clarity: VS2 or Above, at least Eye Clean

6. Setting: 18K Yellow Gold with side stones

7. Are You/Will You Be Involved In The Stone/Ring Selection?: Our rings have already been ordered... mine will be delivered to him so he and ONLY he knows when it arrives so the proposal will still be a surprise and his will be delivered to me.


The Wedding:
1. Any Planning Already Done?: A few tentative ideas of what I want… Definitely
at home in NYC!!

2. Ideal Wedding Date: Either Fall 2006 or Early Spring 2007… I’m not in a rush (anymore). We’ve been together for almost three years and have experienced so much that I feel as though we’ve been married at least 10 years. Plus, since we’re going to be married “Until Death Do Us Part” (no such thing as the D-Word in either of our vocabulary) and we’ll be paying for the wedding ourselves, I want to save up and have a nice wedding.

3. Big Wedding/Small Wedding: It will be an Afternoon or Early Evening Church Wedding… Between 70-100 people.

4. Dream Dress: My dream dress is a discontinued gown by Demetrious…

Anyone have any ideas

where I can find discontinued gowns?

Other than that, my dress will have some lace and my veil will be floor length and lacy (It’s the Catholic school girl in me…

I’m a Traditionalist

).

5. Dream Honeymoon Location: I want warm weather, he wants cold, but since we live in Houston (VERY Hot Weather

), it will probably be someplace cool.
