Magnificent!

Wow!! Kimmy, it's stunning!

[Logan]

Kimmy, it is just lovely! Now Kay has my curiosity about the close ups with the Canon. You figured it out and I'm going to have to read and figure it out too!!!!

I'm so happy for you and Andy, but just hate that you're waiting so long for us to see you truly married!

[Logan]

Had to try Kay's advice. I think I'm a terrible photographer!!! LOL!!!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

It's obviously good advice! All these close ups are great.

[dappledoxie]

That is gorgeous!!!

That picture looks great Logan! Your ring is stunning as well! I hope mine looks just as good with sapphires.

(Yay for figuring out close ups! )

And thanks again to all for the compliments.

[Logan]

Yours is gorgeous already and the sapphires in the band will set it off beautifully, Kimmy!

[ramanth]

I hope so!

Sorry for making you all wait so long for the wedding. I need time to plan! LOL!

Come on, Kimmy, you don't want to sell your home, buy a new one, arrange for a mortgage, move your office, plan a wedding, move your stuff, adjust 3 kids to the idea of a blended family, arrange for catering, go through marriage counseling, pick the ceremony, pick the outfits, flowers, etc etc etc, all in the period of about 4 months? Hehehe!!!! That's what we did! Scott and I got engaged on August 10, 2002. Our wedding was December 21, 2002.

When I got married the first time, I got engaged in April 1984, graduated from college at the end of May 1984, started my first job in early June 1984. My ex finished college in August 1984, and in October, when he got a job, we set our wedding date. We had 10 weeks from that time until we got married on Dec. 29! My sister was pregnant and it was either get married while she could still travel, or wait until sometime after the baby was born. We chose to do it right away. We sent out 350 invitations, and thankfully, I trusted my mother completely because she did just about everything. I wasn't even living in the town I got married in!!

So see?? You don't have to wait too long and still have a lovely wedding! What I learned is it is the vows and what comes afterwards that is important, although I do really cherish the ceremony that Scott and I chose. You know, I'm just messing with you. You and Andy need to do things exactly like you want to, whether it takes two months or two years. We're all just hoping and praying for a lifetime of happiness for both of you!!!

Wow!!! That made my head spin! (As I'm sure yours was at the time. )

My sister got engaged this year before me and has set a Sept. 2005 date.

Out of respect for her, my dad's wallet , and my sanity, I didn't want to rush and get married before her.

Since Andy and I want a Spring/Summer wedding, we figured 2006 was just fine. I'm sure it'll sneak up fast though!

The ring is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Wow!!!

I have to agree with Logan though. You're making us wait too long. He he he! Its okay though.....take your time.

And Kay, thanks for the closeup tip. Though I have a Sony, it really helped me because my camera also has the flower feature. I just didn't know what it was.
