You did an awesone job, she's going to love it! I vote for making her breakfast in bed, and proposing now, if you don't have any plans.

Also, hope you don't mind, I resized these.

YUM!!!!









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments. My brother and his girlfriend were uncertain about the setting, but i picked it anyways!

Now, I'm at a complete loss...this is harder than all the diamond decisions--In the morning in bed; at the park w/ a photographer; in Vegas at the MGM where we 1st met; in Austin at the 360 bridge cliff; sunrise on the beach in Cozumel; at a family get together in front of all her family (she is the youngest of 9); during dinner at the Signature room atop Hancock; or leave it in the fish tank until she notices it (j/k)...

The worst part is I can't talk to any of her friends or family about it b/c I'm almost certain she'll somehow hear about it.

Gorgeous ring!!! All your proposal ideas are wonderful...well, all except the fish tank. I couldn't bear to see a WF 2.6 ct in a fish tank!!! Best of luck with your proposal.

PS I have the eternity band and it is beautiful and very comfortable. You made a perfect choice; stone and setting.
