I FINALLY HAVE ZE PICTURES!

[lilmissrugger]

Sorry that it took me so long, ladies! I''ve been just awful, I know- FI''s camera broke this week, but luckily my brother is technologically wonderful, and we were able to download some pictures! Not all, but some Also, haven''t gotten any AMAZING ring shots, but I do have a few where you can see it, lol.

This is in the morning, after he made me breakfast in bed, and we went to Starbucks to get ourselves a drink...this is probably around 7:30

FI with the last bottle of mead that he made from the same batch that we drank from the first night we met

 

[lilmissrugger]

This is the ring that he "proposed" that we drink the mead with

Eating, at the taste (it was a breaded steak sandwich)

 

[lilmissrugger]

This was a shrimp roll- also, it was delicious

 

[lilmissrugger]

Digging in his "magic bag" that he wouldn''t let me see the whole time... (it had rings and other fun items in it) See that little secretive smile? Yeah, he knew it was driving me crazy

 

[Luckyeshe]

Finally!! Awesome pictures so far!! And I''m probably interrupting, but just wanted you to know that you two look great together!

 

[lilmissrugger]

The ring! I know, I got some pretty crummy pictures of the ring, but we were too excited!!!

 

[CurlySue]

Aww! You guys are ADORABLE together. And you have beautiful eyes, by the way!!

Hope there are more pictures!!

Again, congratulations!

 

[lilmissrugger]

another attempt at a ring picture- unfortunately, one of the only good ones we got was lost in the camera awfulness

(and thank you on the compliment, luckyeshe!)

(thank you, curlysue! Though I''ll have to give the credit to my mom for those

)

This is us, standing on the ledge- the glass bow that extends four feet beyond the sears tower, so you can look straight down to the street a billion miles below you

 

[lilmissrugger]

(thanks kribbie and sunny d!!!)
here''s a shot without the flash of the view you see when standing on the ledge

 

[lilmissrugger]

Here''s us, back down on solid ground, on the bridge over the Chicago River, after being rained on ALLL day, starting when we left the house (leaving me, a curly-headed lady, no chance of having my hair look at ALL how I had styled it), exhausted after having been up for 22 hours, but as happy as ever

 

[Mannequin]

Great pictures and such an adorable proposal set up. Congratulations!

 

[lilmissrugger]

(thanks equestrienne!!!)
Aaaand here''s the last one, the day after, on our way to our families meeting (which went terrifically, by the way! We couldn''t have asked for it to go any better- tons of laughing, eating, drinking, and bantering- it was great!). There was no rain, so my hair listened to me

Thank you everyone for looking a my pictures and your patience with how long it took me to get them up!!!

Thanks again, Ladies!!!

We really did have an incredible time, and it makes it that much more worth it to have so many more people who are excited about it too! It makes it much more fun (especially with a bestie who has hopped on the jealous train and is having a hard time being happy for me) with you ladies, so thanks! I really apreciate it!
