I'm sure my response made you tear up, right?

Or were the tears in response to the overwhelming stench of the poo we've been collecting?

LMAO!!!!!!

I'm the one with the giant pile of smelly hamster poo....

ETA: I LURVE the ring. OMG it's amazing!!!! (I love the vintage stuff right now!!!!!!)

Holy moly this has gotta be some sort of PS record! Up to page 4 already and its only been 5 1/2 hours or something?

Anywho... I am so stinking excited for you Gwen! I love the family ring, its gorgeous! You must share details of it when you get it appraised.

I can''t wait to hear the reaction of your parents at the airport when they hear the news!

[mimzy]

[Diamond*Dana]

[PilsnPinkysMom]

Before I even read your post..

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!

CONGRAAAAATSSSS!!!! YAY!

Will you come over to BWW ASAP?!

YAY!

 

[PilsnPinkysMom]

Okay, now that I read the post...

What a sweet, loving, awesome man J is & in the end, I''m sure you think it was worth the wait even if his "buildup" was unnecessary It is still beyond touching... And um, yummy food is DEF the way to a woman''s heart.

Your ring is SO beautiful. Even though you said it isnt your dream setting or stone, I still think it looks ToDieFor.... Antique settings are my fave & the fact that its an heirloom is even better.

WowWowWow. I hope you remember and cherish and love this moment and replay it in your head 5 million times and are unable to wipe a smile off your face! I''m so happy for you!

 

[Italiahaircolor]

What truly happy news!!! Much happiness to you both!

 

[iheartscience]

Congratulations, Gwen! What a perfect proposal, too! That''s my kind of proposal for sure-I love a sweet private proposal! And a tasty dinner to go with it is even better!

And your ring is gorgeous! It may not be your dream ring but it looks fantastic on you and of course the history makes it even better! I''m so happy for you!

 

[rainydaze]

yay Gwen!! congratulations!!!!

i am so, so happy for you!

 

[happydreams]

Awww..Good for you two!!!
You seem like a really lovely person and always post thoughtful and fun messages.
Can''t wait to hear the follow up stories and see the ring!

 

[iheartbora]

[gwendolyn]

Aww, thanks so much, everyone! It''s lovely of you to say that you don''t think my sausage fingers make my ring look little. It''s so nice to hear that it looks ok!

We''re up and ready to set off (Eeeee!!!!!!!!!). See you all soon!!!

 

[sba771]

I LOVE the ring!!

It is truly beautiful and timeless! I know its not your ''dream ring''but its from your dream man and that makes it have even more value IMO.

When you are back in Eruope just pop over to Frankfurt and we can celebrate with applewine!
