Thanks so much you guys!! I have to say that while I am so excited, I'm getting somewhat overwhelmed at all the stuff that has to be done-especially when I read those timelines in the bridal mags that say, "By 8 months you should have ABC done, and in 6 months you should have XYZ done, and fall colors have to be this and that..." So, I decided to throw out the bridal mags and have my wedding anyway I want it. By the way, thanks for the book suggestion, Greeklawgirl, I think I'm heading to Barnes&Noble to buy it-I am all about saving money!!!
Ok-but now for the good part-here's how he proposed: We had gone up to the Blue Ridge mountains and were hiking in this place called Linville Falls-we come to this overlook with mountains and waterfalls in the background, and he says to me, I have to ask you a question, and I look at him, and he's reaching into his jacket with this smile on his face, and I swear I just knew. So, he gets down on one knee and opens the ring box and says will you marry me-I just started crying and saying OMG-so, he puts the ring on my finger because I can't move, and he says, Well are you going to say yes? I had completely forgotten, I was crying too much!! So of course I did, and we hugged-it was amazing. Later on he told me that he had wanted to say all this nice stuff before he popped the question but that when we got there, he was so nervous that all he could think of to say was will you marry me.
Ok-so here's what the ring looks like
-it's in a platinum setting with a round cut diamond in the center, and a round cut yellow sapphire sidestone on each side. I can't stop looking at it!!!
