I got it and it''s absolutely GEORGOUS!!!

[Christmas Eve Proposer]

Hi,

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but to tell you all the truth, I was worn-out! So, after I had made my decision, with the help of all you beautiful people, and then palced the order, I took a break.

UPS just came and I''ve got Susanne''s ring. It''s everything and more that I had hoped. It''s HUGE!! I''m shaking!!!

Now...Since no one knows about this, I''ve got to find time to admire it while working...I want to see it outside. I''ll do my best to get pictures, but I leave from work today and go straight to Susannes (How am I going to hide this thing at her house??? How am I going to be able to keep a straight face all weekend???), and I''ll be home on Sunday night. I''ll take the company camera with me today, and hopefully get a picture or two posted on Sunday. Maybe even yet today!

Thank you all SO MUCH!!!

The prongs of the setting look just like yours. That''s the only difference between it and the picture above.

Congrats to you CEP. We''re thrilled to hear of your success.

 

[day_lily_me]

CEP, congrats!

Now SHOW US THE RING!!!!

And don''t dare leave us hanging for the finale!

 

[strmrdr]

awesome! congrates.

I am so happy to hear that you are thrilled with the ring. You really put a great effort into finding the right stone and were guided well by Reena and some of the others on Pricescope.

I am glad that you found Abazia and that they were willing to send for the two rings because you had the benefit of having an expert advise you with the two stones on hand. I think Abazia gave you excellent service and advice. Fortunately you did not go along with your local jeweler''s choices. Suzanne wil have a ring I am sure she will always cherish, especially if she knows how hard you tried to make her happy.
Best of luck to a really sweet and special guy!

Ready for the good news ?

"Hi everyone!!

First...

She said yes and everything went as planned. It couldn''t have gone better!! She loves the ring and just can''t get over how beautiful it is...It''s PERFECT!!! Thanks in no small part to all of you!!!

I don''t have long, and I''ll be back. I''m on her computer (Which is horribly slow!!) and this is my first chance to update.

I''m sorry I haven''t before.

I haven''t been able to show Susanne much of this board, but I''ve explained it a bit and she says THANK YOU!!

We were all over the place yesterday visiting and showing the ring, and now today, we''re heading to her fathers. And in between we''ve tried to make sure the kids are having a good Christmas. Haven''t had much time for each other yet, but that will come. Christmas is for family and children!!

I''ll be back as soon as possible with more info.
Bottom line...

I. COULD. NOT. BE. HAPPIER!!!

Thank you all so much!! "

PS: this came PM with the request to be posted (given script error and time constraints) and the promisse for a follow up on Monday!
