I just got engaged with a blue sapphire halo on Sunday! I would reiterate what pps said about making sure it''s something you LOVE, and you won''t regret/resent not having a diamond ring. People definitely make assumptions about the cost of colored stone rings, and I''ve had a bunch of q... |

If you''re really wanting to search, I would say start with the toe of his shoes, and then check his jacket pockets. My BF loves to hide small things there, but knows I know about those spots now. Obviously I''m not the best one to give advice, as I haven''t found the ring in our little place ... |

It''s ridiculous! I have seen more demeaning & derogatory material on that site than I have anything resembling supportive messages. I only swing by there to browse the wedding porn, but I''ve actually started preferring Wedding Bee for that. Although frankly those ladies make ... |

My dream ring would be Miss Rocks'' stunning sapphire! I could look at those photos all day! Until it''s upgrade time, the oval sapphire with a diamond halo hanging out in BF''s closet would do

Looks awesome for a short event- but I don''t think I could eat an actual meal up there! And how embarassing would it be to cause the operators to lower the platform so that you could use the bathroom... I''d probably have to urgently go as a reaction to not being able to! I think the fact tha... |

Congratulations- that does sound like the best week ever! I''ll be sending mortgage dust your way, but I think you''ll be fine, as we qualified for our mortgage based on my offer letter. Although that was in summer 2006, and the mortgage environment has changed a little bit since then...... |

We actually did one of those dorky morphing photo booths (we found one at Dave & Buster''s...) that takes each of your pictures and combines your features to "show" you what your kids will look like. Our daughters will be cute, is all I have to say! Physical features, BF has blue eyes, and... |
