Congratulations!
Those two stones have the most gorgeous color and fire! I love them. I am sure they are tough to capture but you did a great job.

Beautiful rings, they match but aren''t identical, and I think that is really cool... even if it wasn''t the original plan! I hope you can get legally married as soon as you want, but if the US doesn''t change their rules, c''mon up to Canada and get hitched!

The stones are cut beautifully--so lively in the photos. I can only imagine them in person! Beautiful color.
You make a lovely couple!

Wow, so many thoughtful and kind replies!
Siamese Kitty- Thank you! I am still surprised at how the pictures came out. It was tough at first, but I think we''re getting the hang of the macro setting.
DiscoT- That''s exactly what we loved about them. We thought it was a good way to be both similar and unique at the same time. I am actually so happy that the original stone turned out to be not quite what I was looking for; otherwise, we''d never have found my pinky-precious!
Deelight- Thank you so much! Is that your cat in your icon? It''s ADORABLE!
iluvcarats- Thank you for the wishes and compliment.
thing2of2- [I love your screename, btw!] Thank you... we hops so too! It''s so much more complicated than it has to be, and we''re trying not to let it cast any clouds on our celebration. It''s really sweet of you to be so supportive.
aggiebling09- Thank you!
purpleshirt- Thanks for the support. I wish everyone thought like those of you who support our marriage!
akmiss- Thank you for the thoughtful words. I think we are still amazed at how perfectly they turned out, and how well they fit our respective personalities. Even the temperament of the stones is similar to each of us- my stone is more glittery and changes color frequently, and hers has a deeper, richer color with a more subtle sparkle like tiny flames burning inside the stone.
wrstacks- Thank you!! Thanks for saying our hands look pretty, but it''s funny how weird our fingers look all magnified like this.
I could ramble on and on forever about our "story" and how we met, and all of the obstacles we have encountered along the way... unfortunately, I bet it would bore everyone to death, including you!
diamondfan- Thank you! The compliments mean so much coming from such a helpful and knowledgeable member of the PS community! They really are hard to capture on camera, especially the red stone. We will try again after cleaning it and see, since the pictures don''t come anywhere close to doing it justice!
IrishBreakfast- Thank you! I can''t wait to see your new ring from Leon. It''s to die for.
Po10472- Thanks! I was so surprised to realize that it did that little trick. Talented little thing, huh? It''s an endless source of entertainment and distraction, of course!
chiquitapet- Thank you so much!
Addy- Thank you for the compliment!
bling addict- Thanks for your kind words! The splash of color is truly the best part, I think!
DaniAndi- Thank you! I am also partial to the pink, but I feel badly that my fiancee''s stone photographed so poorly.
They really are both so special and perfect in real life, and I wish I could convey that to all of you here!
honey22- Thank you! It is so nice to hear that people think they''re beautiful. Of course, we think so, and the people we know in person think they''re great as well, but there''s something about PS-ers'' approval that really means something; after all, we know how to truly appreciate sparkly trinkets!
diamondrnglover- Thank you! I don''t think either of us had ever seen a well-cut garnet [or any gemstone for that matter] before we ordered these stones. They are both so firey, sparkly, and alive! Not like anything I''ve ever seen at a chain jeweler, and there aren''t too many high-end jewelery stores in our area. After all my reading on PS I thought I would see a difference in quality, but these just blew us both away!
pjean- Thank you so much! It was great fun to play around with different lighting. I''m going to get addicted to picture taking, I think.
Ms.Dreamy- Thank you!
Tuckins1- Thank you for your kind words!
dreamer_dachsie- Thank you! That''s what we like about them as well. The "problem" in the middle was really a good thing after all! We are definitely going to get legally married in Canada if ss marriage is not legal in the U.S. by the time we are ready to have a more formal celebration. Even though it would be purely symbolic, it really means a lot to us. Canada is so wonderful having made that step years ago and offering marriage equality to all of its citizens. Sometimes the US can be so far behind!
Your support means a lot to us.
Catmom- Thank you! I am so in love with your ring as well. Colored stones with diamond accents are definitely a gorgeous combination!
Ellen- Thank you! I said this above, but compliments from PS-ers mean so much to us. You are a jewelery-appreciating bunch, and your approval is in high demand!
The shot of your ring in your icon is actually one of the pictures that inspired us to play around with lighting- it''s a great picture!
risingsun- Thank you! Your ring is beautiful as well.
coatimundi- Thank you! I have long admired your jewelery collection, and your kind words mean so much!
Asscherhalo_lover- Thank you so much!
AmberGretchen- Thank you for the nice compliments!
LaurenThePartier- Thank you! We thought it was so funny when we found that out about each other. We are similar in so many ways that it''s eerie sometimes!
violet3- Thank you so much!

Congrats, WT and WT''s fianceé! Your rings are beautiful, as are the two of you. I just bought a couple of garnets that are similar in color to your deeper red one, and am absolutely fascinated with them. And as a past resident of Mass. and a current resident of California, I''m keeping my fingers crossed that the ruling is upheld!
