Hi ladies!!! Sorry haven't been around much, just been really busy! Some might remember me mentioning visiting the future in-laws and receiving an heirloom ring. I decided to go with the heirloom ring when I saw it while on vacation. My BF's parents are retired (from the UK) and live in a boat and sail the Meditterranean and Turkish coast, so we saw the ring one night and I said I wanted it, and then the next day we docked in a little town and bf and I went sightseeing alone to this ruin castle where he asked a stranger to take a pic of us and got down on one knee! I was genuinely surprised (even though I should have known he would do it while on vacation) but so ecstatic! His parents were delighted and we celebrated on the boat with the only bottle of sparkling wine we could find in the tiny shop (when I say this place is tiny, it's only accessible by boat!) It happened about 1.5 weeks ago and I wanted to post but since I got back I have been so busy flying!
We've brought the ring, along with my mom's old engagement ring (she passed away last year so it's very important) and they said they can touch up to stone (it's a sapphire with a very tiny chip) and can change out the band to a white gold one (the setting is in silver or white gold for some reason, and the rest of the ring is yellow gold) and will fashion a custom band to go with the ring with the center stone from my mom's e-ring. That should be done in about a week!
Here's a pic the stranger took.. I burst out laughing because I was so shocked, and eventually teared up, and then thought I should have known! I couldn't wear the ring immediately after tho because it's huuuge! And the stranger I think was more surprised than I was!
