Hi guys!!!
35.gif

I am so excited to share my ring with you!!!

My boyfriend went though Mark Turnowski at ERD, as so many on here have insisted, and I am so THRILLED at the final product. I hope you will be too. :)

I should say, that although I never talked to Mark directly (my bf handled that), I plan on sending him a huge thank you note for all that he''s done for us. I will highly recommend him to anyone on here---my ring is gorgeous!!!

Now you might find this amazing or downright shameful....but my BF (fiance) didn''t even ask to see a pic of the diamond before purchasing it. (

?) Not sure why....I guess he was just busy? I can''t get mad...I mean, the way he was so recommended on here----I had full trust in Mark, and my BF apparently had full trust in ME, so I guess it worked out. lol

Anyway...I also wanted to add, (before I get to the good stuff) that I was proposed to right before we left to go to Virginia. At the airport, I went to grab something out of my bag, and saw that NICOLE RICHIE was walking directly behind me with Joel Madden and the other good charlotte crew. SO random. (This was in Atlanta). I said hi to her by accident, because for some reason my brain didn''t catch up with my mouth before I realized that I don''t "know" her. lol. She said Hi back though. I almost asked where she got her cute dangly earrings for Deco....but I was star-struck.

Anyhoo....off to the pics.

DISCLAIMER: It was overcast for much of my vacation. I did manage to get a few shots when it was sunny outside...but not many. Our camera broke during the trip too...so it may be a while before I get more.

As you can see, it is just a simplet basket setting. I think Tgal got this setting for her mom. I love it the way it is! I may leave it forever, and just get the platinum version in the future. And I''m already envisioning a delicate pave wedding band. :)

This is all for now! I have a ton more, but these are the best of the best...at least IMO.
The color blows me away every day. I haven''t seen a HINT of warmth....but then again, it''s not like I have a "D" stone on the next finger. This diamond reflects every color that you put in front of it, but mostly it is just ICY ICY white.

Don''t be afraid of the I colored fancies, people.

Or have Mark Turnowski pick it out for you...one or the other.

I hope you''ve enjoyed my pics.
I''m not sure if I took any good handshots, but if so I will post them later. I''m jet-lagged and SOOOOO in the need of a nap.
