Hello everybody! :wavey:

Well I never thought I would finally write this! I have been with my wonderful man for 9 years and we have certainly had our ups and downs, but we are here, happier than ever and so excited to become husband and wife! We met in high school in Australia and have been together ever since. I have finished my undergraduate degree in psychology and am completing a postgraduate diploma in primary education as I am wanting to use my psychology degree in schools. My guy has been slogging away finishing a double degree of a bachelor of business and and a bachelor of arts in film and television, and as this is the last year of study for both of us and we don't know where we want to live after this year, (plus the whole, we've been together for 9 years and still love each other like crazy kids thing) we've decided to tie the knot at the end of the year!!! This was especially perfect as we both have family from overseas who were traveling for the graduation as it was so we figured why not make it a double event and have both around the same time! So, getting to the good part, we chose a beautiful ring together, he filled our apartment with flowers and candles, had our songs playing in the background, got down on one knee, and popped the question!!!!! :appl: We are so excited for the wedding and all that is to come! :))

Here is a piccy of our gorgeous ring!

CONGRATULATIONS on what sounds like an amazing engagement! How wonderful to have been together the last 9 years through all the stress of school! I can relate as I am finishing grad school in a few weeks myself! I am sure you are SO looking forward to getting to the next phase of life, and to have such a wonderful man by your side to share it with is incredible!

The ring is gorgeous!!! Please share more photos when you can!

Congrats again!!!
