and i''m now engaged!!!

here''s a synopsis on the wonderful proposal for those who are interested:
we were supposed to go visit his parents in upstate ny and he decided to take me on a small detour to one of our favorite spots near his family''s home - it''s an old victorian castle surrounded by gardens, hiking trails and amazing scenic views....this place is special to us and it''s where he took me when we first started dating...4+ years ago! here''s the link to the place in case you''re interested. so anyway, we get there and take some pictures and then sit down to look at the pictures we just took on the digital camera and after clicking through them...surprise! - there''s a picture of my dear bf (now fiance) holding up a sign saying "will you marry me?" i was in shock and stared at the camera screen for way too long...then he said some sentimental words (which i later made him repeat because i wasn''t paying attention) and then gave me my beautiful ring. he then told me that we had reservations at a hotel in cape cod for the weekend - at the hotel that we always wanted to stay at, but could never afford. during each of our 4 vacations to the cape, we''ve driven by this very hotel and admired it. and as if all this wasn''t enough...on sunday morning, matt told me he made reservations for brunch at our hotel and when we get to our table...my parents and his parents were sitting there to celebrate with us. it was such an unbelievable weekend and i can''t believe he pulled it all off without me suspecting a thing.

and now onto the ring:
i don''t have the cert or too many details yet...but the diamond was inherited and i know its 1.14 ct and the setting was custom made by a local jeweler in nj.

and now, without further delay....the pictures!

Did you design the ring with your fiance, or was the whole thing a total surprise?

well he told me a few months ago to start looking at rings, so i joined pricescope and started researching. i went from wanting a 3 stone princess ring, to the scott kay 3 stone ring...and then i found the pave rings which i fell in love with...but i couldn''t decide which of the pave rings i wanted. i was still searching for the ring - and as you can tell, i was still posting about rings all last week...meanwhile he already went to a jeweler and was working on designing it for me. thank goodness he''s more decisive than i am! i would have been researching and contemplating forever. but the ring is everything i would have chosen for myself and more!

Your fiance did a great job not only on the ring but on the proposal.

I was on the Cape this weekend too. Sorry the weather couldn''t have been more accommodating - but then again, you probably didn''t notice!!!

The hotel you were referring to - it wasn''t the Chatham Bars Inn by chance?

Anyway - wear your sparkler in good health and happiness and enjoy this wonderful time!!
