A bit of mascara and some bling...

[Brilyant]

Hey all, just popping in to say hi.

Well, we''re about 5 weeks away from the big day, and we were out and about on Saturday when I snapped this picture of my fiance''s ring. I thought it turned out nice, what do you think?

[Brilyant]

kittybean, thank you. I am striving to get better and better with my photography - that''s my main hobby right now and for the past few years.

chiquitapet, MMT, marriedwithdiamonds, SeattleSweetheart and SanDiegoLady, thank you all!

SYC, thanks - photo classes are a great way to learn the basics and even some more advanced techniques. Your local photo store(s) should offer these classes. Good luck and feel free to ask questions here as well.

You are most welcome - goodness is it that long ago you gave her the ring?? I seem to remember around the Holidays when you were looking, how time flies! So only 5 weeks until the big day, how exciting!

Tell me about it! Yeah, I was looking in late December and bought in late Feb, and gave the ring on March 9th. Time has been FLYING since then, and now it''s only 5 weeks until the big day. We''ve finished about 90% of the prep, so we''re just now catching our breath a bit. Thanks for all your help from before!
