    There is absolutely no way to capture the sparkle and beauty of this ring in a picture! It looks somewhat dull in these image, especially the close up one, but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't find a way to duplicate the way it glints. I'm so happy. He picked a lovely ring.

    It's actually part of a set...double wedding bands that flank the engagement ring, one on each side. No pressure he said lol! He is completely in agreement that we're taking this a step at a time, and that right now becoming engaged is its own stand-alone event. He completely gets that, but explained that he fell in love with this ring when he saw the stones, but that it came with the wedding bands so he bought the set. Then he had the jeweler reset the stones slightly because he didn't like their placement.

    Whatever he did, I am absolutely in love with the result. :heart:

    Hey Gail, thanks for asking!

    We're doing really well. We continue to be pretty excited about being engaged..... such a novelty still. ;) No date yet, it's the first thing people ask us and I get it, it's the first thing *I* ask when I hear that someone is engaged. "Next year at the earliest" has become our answer, because it's the truth. Way too much to do, too many logistics to solve for it to be any sooner.

    We're both pretty dang happy! Life is good. :heart:
