Ahhh, what a great story and beautiful ring. Also, great planning on the fiance''s part. Clearly he knew how important that was too you, and now with your proposal thrown in there, you both will never forget it!
Thank you all for the congrats and sweet comments!! He did an amazing job-- pretty much all by himself (I may have mentioned my love of cushions once or twice or a million times), but the rest was all him and the ring designer... I highly recommend Diamonds of Palo Alto for any PSers in the SF Bay area!
And I will most likely be posting more pics when I get some sunshine and time to playyy
Thanks again, ladies-- I really appreciate all the kind words and wishes!
**I still can''t believe he pulled all of it off without me knowing. I think it''s the first surprise he''s really been able to pull off-- hopefully not the last
