It's official!!!!! Want to see the ring?!

Joey and I always talked about marraige and considered ourselves engaged even though we never did the whole official proposal and ring thing...his deployment sort of put a kink in those plans.

Well, Friday night he proposed. I kind of knew what he was doing when he suggested a nice night out all dressed up....but I didn't want to get my hopes up too much. After a nice dinner, he took me to the lakefront to the same spot we shared our first kiss and proposed.

I was shocked when I saw the ring. Even though I've been telling him that I wanted a round cut diamond in an antique setting, I had no idea what he'd pick out...because he was adamant about picking it out himself. I was so expecting white gold, but he got platinum. Guess it helps that his step-mother works for one our local jewelry stores and helped him with the ring selection. I hate to have the typical girlie reaction, but ain't it purty?!?!

Those were the best pics I could get. A better digital camera would have helped. I'm still in that giddy excited mood. Anywho, just had to share!

Thanks!
We were thinking of mid-October 2004, but it looks like our very good friend and Joey's best man will be deployed during that time so we many push it back to November or December 2004. Nothing's definite until we talk to the priest and see when the church is available and know when Jonathan is leaving and returning.

It is lovely, but not as lovely as you are - I can feel that smile from all the way across the continent! :) My wedding ring is an heirloom platinum and round-cut diamond ring from Paul's family, we can compare if ever we meet in person! :) Best wishes to you both, and have fun planning the wedding! :)

That ring is simply devine, your man has excellent taste, but then you already know that because he chose you to be his life-long partner.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH, I can feel your happiness springing through the thread, lovely to hear happy news.

We were thinking October 2004 but with his best man being deployed at that time it will probably be Nov. 2004 or later. We're going to talk to the priest this week to see about the availability of the church. :)

October is such a pretty time of year to get married up here so I can't imagine how gorgeous it must be down your way, Chinadoll. :)

You'll have a blast with all the planning. If you want to jabber about any parts of the planning or whatever, PM me! I'd love to have another bride-to-be to talk to! :)
