The Ring is complete Woo Hoo

[countingdown]

Just got off the phone with Mark Morrell. He will be sending me pics later tonight which I will post. Here are some of Mark''s Comments.

1. First he said he has over 100 hours of time into the ring. It was one of the most time consuming rings he has ever done in 35 years.

2.Its the most stones he has ever set in one ring with the total being 184.

3. He said that what he likes the most about is that it looks so delicate but at the same time its a monster with the center stone be almost 4 carats..

4. And the funniest is that he said he cannot see from looking at the microscope til 530am this morning. LOL He was joking

It will be ready for pickup on tuesday. I am really psyched !!!!

Thanks for all the nice comments. I could not of done it without all of you.

I am going to ask her parents permission this weekend since they are leaving for Germany for vacation on Monday and will return the day I leave for Mexico. I want to wait as long as possible because I am afraid her mom cannot keep secrets. This is the first time it is really starting to hit me what is happening. I am 30 years old and thought I would never get married so this is a huge thing.
