Thank you all for your wonderful comments!!! I could not have survived LIW-hood without all of you! Unfortunately, it is a dreary, cloudy, NY day, so no sunshine pics
Wow. That story made my cry!! He was so sweet and thoughtful. I love how everything tied into the old memories. How ADORABLE!! And that ring!! Oh my it is GORGOUS!! Thank you so much for sharing your story and the pictures. I am SOOOOOOOOOO happy for you!!
DMBsgirl: congrats on your engagement!!! Love your ring, it is really gorgeous and looks huge on your finger...love the split shank, etc. It''s perfect! Also...I am a huge fan of popcorn flavored jelly bellies, but even more I love the bubble gum flavored pink ones. So if you have any bubble gum''s left over I would very much appreciate it if you saved them and sent them my way, LOL! Just kidding...congrats again and enjoy your engagement! Next thing you know we''ll be helping you choose your gown and aiding in all the wedding details...can''t wait! Yay!!!
Thank you everyone for your kind words and good wishes! I loved the proposal too because it was very personal and i did not see it coming! My fiance had promised we''d be engaged this year and since i was expecting a proposal he needed to think of something that would completely catch me off guard, and it DID, it was just a regular night until i saw the ring among the jelly beans! I love my fiance and my ring! I am so impressed that he WAS listening when I talked about cushions and ERD. When I asked why he chose this specific diamond he said "it was the sparkliest and I couldn''t see any inclusions." So cute, I can''t believe the word "inclusions" is even in his vocabulary (thanks GARY!) lol. Though I am jealous that i did not get to look at sparkly diamonds, but I really couldnt have picked out a better diamond myself, everything about the ring is just perfect! I am super excited to start wedding planning. The wedding will probably be next winter, December or February.
I am so happy for you! Congratulations on your engagement, and I love popcorn Jelly Bellies, too! Though, I must say, the Juicy Pear ones are some of my favorites!
What a sweet engagement, and I''m looking forward to hearing from you on the BIW boards soon! Welcome to the club!
I almost missed this thread, too. Congratulations on your great proposal and your beautiful ring.....Don''t like popcorn jelly bellies..........but I love your ring!!! Enjoy your special time with your new FIANCE and your beautiful ring!!
Oh DMBsGirl, I am so very happy for you! Our stories were so similar, so I''m so glad that one of us is engaged. I wasn''t so lucky this year... *Sigh* But on a plus note, I didn''t have to make him feel guilty because his family and my family took care of that! I think it''s finally starting to sink in that maybe he should think about proposing SOON!
Congratulations to you! Send some of that fairy dust my way!
