Congrats!!!!!! What a sweet story!!!!!!!

 

[Still_Waiting]

Thanks everyone! We''re still grinning from ear-to-ear!

I totally should change my name, shouldn''t I? LOL I can''t believe how much fun it is calling everyone and getting emails and everything. Everyone is so completely happy for us. Of course, we are also getting bombarded with the inevitable, "So, have you set a date yet?" Many of our close friends know we''ve been planning on having a destination wedding, so everyone is anxious to know A.S.A.P...and with good reason!

We gotta figure out how to pay for it first though!

Thanks again everyone!

[trillionaire]

congrats! your ring... simple, elegant... perfect!!!! I love it!

Also, I love that your FI (yay!) was so thoughtful about the timing! I really thought that my FI would propose last X-mas when we spent the holidays with my family, and we were slated to spend the New Years with his. I thought the timing would be perfect, but I guess it wasn''t up to me

Glad your FI made the right choice! Welcome to BWW!!!

Thank you so very much! I think I love it even more than I did when I first received it two months ago.

When we first began talking marriage, I told him that I wanted a six-prong RB white-gold solitaire. Then, as I began looking around, I totally fell in love with halos. Then more time passed (I was a very anxious LIW, LOL!), I found myself loving simple settings and halos equally. Now, I''m SO glad he went with the classic (besides, he can always get me a halo for a RHR

). I absolutely love its simplicity and the way it tapers in toward the diamond...mmm...I just love it. And I love it how he always calls me his fiancee. It''s become my habit to respond with, "That''s me!!!"

Being engaged is fun! We''re still so excited about it. But our marriage will be even better!

I just happened to pop over into LIW (I still do from time-to-time) and happened to notice my thread had been revived!

Thank you so much to all of you! I still don''t think I would have made it through the torturous LIW period without all of you. I know it doesn''t really help, but I''m going to say it anyway...It''s worth the wait!

We LOVE being engaged. It really is a ton of fun. Of course, now we''re at the point that it''s time to set a date, which has become slightly stressful, but I''m confident it''ll work out just fine. We''re planning a super low-key destination wedding...oh, it''s going to be so beautiful and so perfect. I can''t wait!

Thank you for your support over the past year or so. I''m so glad we have this venue for venting, encouraging, and just loving each other. I''ve been so happy to find this website!
