I'm engaged!

Lindsey · 06-23-2011, 02:14 PM

It will be sometime next year

I do want to enjoy being engaged for awhile, so I want to wait at least a year... so I can narrow it down to between July and December lol! I'm going to attach a little picture of the ring... well, not the exact ring, but the one I wanted... Scott went in to look at it and said the diamonds were "crappy" and there was no warranty or anything with it... so he had the set custom made, based on that design! He also made sure there the middle diamond was a Canadian diamond... something I wanted but didn't think I'd ever get! For my penny-pincher boyfriend, he's turned out to be a quality-over-price fiance

I think we're 80% sure of the venue we want. But we don't know what dates are available next year, if any, and we'll have to base things off that.

This really is the happiest time of my life, but at the same time there's little tugs of sadness... my brother has not congratulated us, or even acknowledged it at all. My mom even told him I was a little upset that he hasn't said anything, but he had nothing to say to her about it.

On top of that, Scott's best friends have also not said anything. He told his best friend immediately, a few days before we announced it on Facebook, and never got a reply. His friend had obviously gotten the message, but he chose not to reply. In fact, none of his guy friends have said anything, not even a simple "like" on facebook! These are the guys he has always wanted in his wedding party, but it seems like they're taking a stand against it

Last night when we got home, he called one of his other good friends and he congratulated him, so I think he's moved up in position! We're going to a barbeque with them all tomorrow and I guess we'll just see if anyone says anything about it. I guess you find out who really cares at times like this.

Oops forgot the picture... sorry it's really tiny, they don't have this ring on the website anymore and I just got this from a link I sent my friend ages ago!

The engagement ring is in the middle, and the wedding band surrounds it. It is soooo sparkly! The band was at home, so when we got home yesterday I tried them all on together and Scott said I'm going to have to start dressing up more lol!

OH LINDSAY, the ring is GORGEOUS!!! I absolutely love that style, I know exactly how it looks in real life. I think the engagement ring is gorgeous alone, but when you put the wedding bands around it, WOWSER!!!

You are one lucky girl. I'm glad Scott didn't go cheap for the ring, it does make a big difference in the way it looks!

Congratulations. Enjoy the journey.

Lindsey · 06-23-2011, 02:53 PM

I guess Scott had taken a picture so he sent that to me

Here it is!

Lindsey · 06-23-2011, 03:01 PM

Thanks Sandy!

Gayle, I agree, I didn't need or want anything expensive, but I'm glad he thought he could afford something a little better. Now I have lifetime warranty with free cleaning every 6 months (and inspection), and total replacement if it's lost or stolen or if any stones fall out or anything. Without that insurance, he wouldn't have risked taking the ring to Europe!

Everyone who has seen the ring says it's unusual! I think it's perfect. I did want something different. Everyone I know has either a big solitaire, or a 3 diamond ring. I thought this was much more unique and it seems more old fashioned and vintage! It's just perfect

We got engaged just a few days before we went to Monte Carlo. Our tour guide said that one of the most prestigious hotels in Monaco is right beside the big casino, and we could try to walk in if we wanted, but we'd most likely be turned away at the door. He said if we do try to go in, make sure we go as singles or couples, because they'd know for sure we're tourists in a group. I took Scott's arm and made sure this ring was in full view, and we walked right in like we belonged there! Haha! Only one other couple made it in, and we walked past them in the hall and we both smiled but pretended not to know each other to keep the secret

That's the one thing I'm putting off lol! I've been looking at everything else online... colors, favors, centerpeices, everything! But I think looking at gowns will make me so overwhelmed lol! I have no idea what I want!

Janet · 06-23-2011, 05:28 PM

You have the figure to wear a mermaid gown. Do you watch that show, Say Yes to the Dress? I love to watch that show - I don't know why??? LOL! If you don't watch, you should because you can learn alot about what dresses fit which body types.
