And finally, the story.
My fiance and I were on vacation, and we decided to go eat dinner on the beach. He had the ring in his pocket the whole time and I didn't even know! After dinner we started to walk back to the condo, but he wanted a picture of us at sunset. So he asked a man nearby to take our picture, and whispered something to him. (I couldn't hear and wasn't paying attention anyway, since I wasn't expecting it that day.) We take our one "normal" picture, then then he turned toward me and grabbed both my hands, got down on one knee and started saying some things I will never remember! And the whole time the guy was still snapping pictures. (Apparently he had whispered to him "Keep snapping pictures, I'm about to propose to my girlfriend, don't stop clicking!"


I couldn't be happier! Thanks again to all of you for your great insight. You've turned me into a huge diamond enthusiast, and I still come on here and look at all of yours

Wow, what a beautiful ring!! I''ve admired that setting on the knox site for a while. Do you have any pictures of the profile of the ring? The stone looks amazing as well, and HUGE on you!!! What''s your finger size if you don''t mind me asking?

Your slideshow is so cute, you genuinely look really shocked and happy!! Congratulations!!!

Love the ring and the proposal

 

[kcoursolle]

Wow, love the extra pics!! Your ring is truly stunning!

 

[door knob solitaire]

Love love love the ring...the stone...the proposal...all of his cunning plans...and the best part, he chose a fabulous stranger willing to snap snap snap. How cool is that? He must have had his finger on rapid shot...it is almost frame by frame.

Well, it is all lovely. You''ve got yourself a winner

...and that ring isn''t bad either

!!

Congrats! The diamond is absolutely beautiful!

 

[Joolskie]

We ARE ring twins... LOL!

After having a Tiffany style setting for many years, I wanted to mix it up a bit. I was going to go with the Pave Petite until I saw the tweaked version on Knox''s web site. The basket style head called out to me.

But seeing your ring... wow, I wouldn''t have gone wrong either way. Your ring is stunning!
