Ok ladies, this is long, but here is the whole story.
I'm sitting here at 6:30 in the morning in the chair that changed my life. Ok, the chair didn't change my life, but I was sitting here about 17 hours ago when Jess said those magical words 'Will you marry me?' Little did I know what he had planned for the rest of the day! First, the story: Jess had booked us into a hotel/resort for the 4th of July weekend. We both took Friday off, and checked in early. Not even five minutes after we checked in, we came out to check out the patio. We're standing outside when he says to me 'You're going to be mad at me.' I'm thinking he's going to give me some story about how the ring isn't ready yet, but instead he says 'I can't find your grandmother's ring.' I flat out said, 'That's not true. THere's no way you lost that ring.' But I was a little worried, so I sat down, and he says something again about not having the ring, but then he says 'It's ok, though, I know where the diamonds are.' (Or something like that, it's a little hazy at this point!). He then pulls the ring box from his pocket, gets down on one knee, and shows me the rings. I'm crying, shocked, excited, and wowed by these gorgeous rings. So he looks at me and says 'What's your answer?' and I say 'You haven't asked me anything!!' Then he asks, and I say yes. 
After a few phone calls to family and friends, we went to a nearby spa for a couple hours. We came back to get ready for dinner, and he was seriously rushing me. We have a glass of wine and go to the restaurant. When I go to sit down, he says 'Can I sit there?' I'm confused, but say Sure! We have a lovely dinner, during which I can't help but tell the waiter about our happy news (and I can't stop staring at the ring!). So, when we're done with dinner, Jess says he wants to take some video of the lobby, which is beautiful. So he's walking behind me, videotaping, and he says 'why don't you walk on the other side, no more to the left.' So I walk around a corner and there are about 40 of our friends and family. I start crying (and possibly hyper-ventilating), when I see one of my girlfriends who lives in Chicago. More tears. Then another girlfriend who lives in Florida. More tears. Then friends that live in Michigan. It was so overwhelming to see everyone in one place... and the level of planning and stress that Jess went through to make it all happen, it just makes me love him more. I truly feel like the luckiest woman on earth right now. I fell in love with a wonderful, thoughtful man who clearly will jump through hoops for me. The best part is that it's not over yet. Now we get to plan a wedding!
Ring details: The e-ring is white gold, with silver detailing. FI (HOLY CRAP HE"S MY FI!) can't remember what size my grandmother's diamond is, but we both think it's a little north of 0.5 carats. You can see it a bit better here: 
It's gorgeous, so unique, and I'm madly in love with it. I can't stop staring at it. My grandmother's diamond sparkles like crazy and I can't help but think how happy she'd be right now (RIP Grandma!). Thank you ladies for everything you've done for me over the last eight months. I may have lost my mind if I hadn't met all of you! ETA: In one of the pics above I'm wearing the wedding band (he made me put it on and take a pic of it). The wedding ring is a thin band of diamonds all the way around. I cannot express to you how perfect it all is! Oh, and I think I forgot to say that the 'filling' of the ring is a blue enamel. Beautiful if I do say so myself. I told you FI (!!!) had good taste!

Still here and still fabulous!
