I recently got engaged and boy do I have a story! I have been lurking here for almost the past year now looking at everyone''s gorgeous sparkley rings :)
Here''s my story, Pics to follow, don''t worry!!!!

For my birthday he gave me a 6 hr. day at the Houstonian Spa
(www.trellisspa.com)!! He set this up for April 14th on good Friday. This place
is like something out of a movie...I literally walked around in a robe all day
and if I asked, I got! After my massage and facial, a lady delivered me flowers
right before my lunch and the card said "Nikki, let''s celebrate your moving to
Houston. I have a room at the Houstonian, a key will be waiting for you
at the front desk and there will be clothes for you in the room. Meet me in the
Lobby bar at 6:45"
So I finished the rest of my day at the spa (part of which included make-up) and
walked over to the hotel which had MORE flowers waiting for me, deep, velvety,
red roses. I got dressed met Josh and we went to dinner at this place called
Tony''s (http://tonyshouston.com/) we had the most amazing dinner and everything
was PERFECT! Then as we are waiting for our car to pick us up and take us back
to the hotel, he said, "Did you have a good day? Your day couldn''t get any
better than this, could it" And of course I said "nope couldn''t get any better
than this. but I''ll take this treatment once a month ;-)"
As we got back to the hotel, he opened the door and there were rose petals all
over the room, there were 2 hearts formed on the bed in rose petals. So he sat
me down in a chair got down on his knee and said "I can''t imagine my life
without you, will you marry me" Then we popped open a bottle of Dom Perignon
that was waiting for us in a silver bucket of ice.
Monday, Josh was supposed to be out of town on business, in Denver. However, I
found out that he actually went to St. Louis to meet with my parents, take them
to dinner and ask them for their blessing.

Just thought I would share my story!!!! ;-)


 
wow a great romantic story ........and i dont mean to appear unsentimental but is there a ring in this story?
 
Sounds so wonderful and romantic! What are the ring details? Have you made any plans yet?
 
I don''t have a camera that will take a decent picture, however, here it is. It looks very similar to my Avatar on the left. The only difference is that I have 2 rectangular shaped baguets on either side of the asscher center stone and the avatar has trapezoids. From what I know, the diamond is 1.1ct, VVS1, E, I wear a 6.5 size ring so it looks dainty on my fat fingers

It is perfect though, I love it! This is a scan of my ring...and even that didn''t really work...I have a couple of other scans but, I have to size them down for it to accept the pic.

Congrats on getting engaged! Is that your ring in the avatar? Did he get the setting at DScassi?

gorgeous! i love asschers.
 
Congrats! A lovely story and a beautiful ring!
 
Still working on the plans hoping for a fall wedding but may not be able to do it that fast, stuff books up really quickly. If not November, then, spring 2007 I think. I absolutely refuse to have a summer wedding, because I hate the heat and Texas is HOT...I don''t want to sweat in my pretty dress. I have picked the dress though, I saw it in a magazine like 4 years ago...it''s the one I want for sure, I went and tried it on and it is perfect.

It''s pretty close, my scanner does not do it ANY JUSTICE what so ever, it is so perfect looking you can see straight down to the center and it sparkles even more than you would think being a step cut.
 
Your dress and ring are both stunning! Good luck and have a lot of patience and sense of humor in the planning process! (just a bit of advice to help keep you sane!) I am sure you will be back on here frequently...
 
Yes in fact if any one has any ideas on a cool, kinda different wedding band to go with, I''d like some ideas!!! Do you think that small pave round brilliant would be a nice contrast or would it look goofy
 
congrats, beautiful ring.

I am not sure I would love pave, but you might just have to try on some different things. What about a small band of ashers and some other shape? (maybe non tapered baguettes, set east to west? ) I am sure some good photo person here has seen something they could post like it? (I have seen this ring somewhere I think!!!)
 
how about alternating squares and rounds, or squares and bagettes..........need something square to tie in the design but doesnt need all squares necessarily. for example: tiffany does those 3 colored squares and 3 bead set diamonds bands............
 
What a fantastic proposal story and your ring is so pretty! Congratulations on your engagement! I like the idea of a channel set wedding band with asscher cuts.
 
what an awesome proposal

. Your ring is just lovely and love the wedding dress too.
 
Not only do you have the best story ever you also have one of the best rings ever.

BTW Signed Pieces has an asscher eternity band I think would look divine with you ring.

Congratulations! I LOVE your ring! It''s so elegant and pretty.

Beautiful. We almost bought this exact ring (except with different size center stone, but with the same rectangular baguettes) a year ago as an anniversary gift.
 
Your ring is beautiful...I love it
