Hi Ladies!
Sorry it''s been such a long time between posts for me, and most of you are going, Who IS this girl? but I am a newbie and a bit of a lurker at the best of times, there are just soooo many posts to keep up with! Anyway, in the last 3 weeks the Boy and I have been through the exciting process of getting my ring made: It''s a .45 carat diamond, with a white gold half bezel setting and a yellow gold band. Not a large diamond but beautiful and I am (and have been!) SO excited about getting engaged finally. We''ve booked tickets to fly home for the weekend in 3 weeks which is when we will show off the ring to our parents and families, etc., and I knew the ring was supposed to be ready to be picked up on Thursday (1st Sept) i.e in 2 DAYS!! As some of you girls may know, the last few weeks have been a constant state of "Okay, from tomorrow it will be 2 weeks away! Oh boy!.... Wow, it''s 6 days away! Oooh, only 3 days to go!" and even though I don''t officially know when he will pop the big Q it will have to be before we go home for the weekend.
So today, he rings me up from work and says, "I have some bad news... the diamond people rang me up and said that there''s been a delay on the ring. it''s actually ready, but they have booked a cut and polish on FRIDAY, and it won''t be ready till Monday. I just didn''t want you to get all excited when it''s not even going to be coming this week. It''s actually annoying because that was the excuse I was going to make (the ring being delayed), and then surprise you with it, but I actually got a call and it''s true - you can see the call on my phone (he knows me all too well and obviously was worried I would suspect something!!)"
Well! I wonder if this is actually a ploy, allbeit a smart double fake-out if you will, and it is still coming on Thursday, but I honestly don''t know anymore... sigh! I just don''t want to get my hopes up if it really isn''t coming till Monday, and he was very convincing.
Cut and polish? is there even such a thing?! Or am I going crazy?
