Congratulations

Your ring looks beautiful

 

[largirl]

Thanks guys! I love it too. The center stone is a 1.01 carat princess cut (obviously), SI1, F. The band has .2 carats total, the wedding band is exactly like the e-ring band only without the center.

Sooooo.....we picked it out together and it came in and we went together to pick it up (so I could pay for his wedding band). She went to get it out and I was like, "Nooo, I don''t want to see it yet!", so her and Chris (my fiance) looked at it and oooh and ahhhed over it while I watched - until I changed my mind and begged to see it but it was too late, they said no. He carried it around with him all day so I couldn''t peek. He had me completely convinced that he was going to wait a week or more (!!!) to give it to me. I resigned myself to that fact and we had a great night eating dinner at our favorite restaurant and watching a movie, then we went to bed. Just when I was ready to fall asleep, he woke me up and said, "Since today was so perfect, it should have a perfect ending too!" and gave it to me - popped the ring box open, put it on my finger, and asked. Not too flashy or unique, but definitely perfect for him.

Here are some more pics, some of them have the wedding bands in them too.

thats really cute too!!

i bet you couldn''t get back to sleep though!

 

[largirl]

He made me take it off to go to sleep, but I woke up a few hours later and put it back on.

 

[largirl]

Another one...

 

[FrekeChild]

I really really love the photography. Who took the pics?

And the bands aren''t half bad either. I really like his. What metal is that?

 

[largirl]

Okay, sorry these last ones are so big!!!

 

[largirl]

I took the pics. I do wedding photography so of course the first thing I did was a shoot with them.

His band is tungsten.

 

[emilina22]

your ring is so pretty wow!! CONGRATS again!

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Beautiful rings and photography! Do you mind if I ask what kind of camera you took those with?

 

[Deelight]

Your foto taking skills are just fantastic

 

[largirl]

@Sarah - I used my Canon D5 with 70-200 f2.8L IS USM lens and a 24mm Kenko extension tube.

 

[stryeyes102]

Your ring is absolutely stunning!!

And Congrats !

I gotta ask though, Where did you find your setting?

 

[largirl]

@stryeyes102 - That was the hardest part! We had a hard time finding settings we both liked...but this one we both LOVE! We actually got it from a diamond wholesaler here in Omaha; they don''t have a store that''s open to the public but you can visit their showroom with a referral and an appointment. So if anyone is in Omaha....

 

[stryeyes102]

Im having a total what are the odds moment here!

Ill most likely be in Omaha in November for thanksgiving! And,im not thrilled with it, but Bf might be moving out there to go to school once his enlistment is over. Hmmm..

I have the exact same problem as you did; i find a ring i love, and he absolutely hates it. It get quite frustrating.

 

[largirl]

@stryeyes102, let me know if you don''t have a ring by November and I''ll shoot you the info. You can email me at largirl at yahoo dot com.
