I want to also tag along with @cu97tiger's sentiment. I flipping love your ring...and I'm not just saying that. It's so beautiful. I love the vintage-looking band. The stone is SPARKLY. Your man outdid himself on that one. Woo Hoo!

Thanks @allusive007 and @cu97tiger I love it too!! He's like...if you don't like it we have time to return it...and I was like HELL NO I LOVE IT! I actually was a fan of a similar band through an online retailer but had never showed it to him. I was overwhelmed and so surprised when he picked out something just like it! And the stone..omg. I feel like such a flake or something because it will catch my eye while I'm driving or just doing whatever and I'll stop and stare at it.

@lmhollister yea I still stare lovingly into my stone at times lol. I swear I am not crazy!! It's just so sparkly!!! If you get married on fi's bday I will laugh. I feel like it's a Saturday this year? Kidding- mine is Sunday and his is Friday so we average to a Saturday (they're six months apart so details!)

@Blue & White I'm so excited I get to share this experience with you and everyone else! It's also so nice that everything falls so close to my sis's engagement and wedding. She can share all of her good advice with me! I think we're going to go for an October 2014 wedding. 10 months seems like a decent amount of time to plan and I really don't want to wait any longer that necessary.

That's how long DH and I were engaged -- he proposed Dec. 21, 2012, and we got married Oct. 13. Ten months was just about perfect -- long enough to not feel rushed or pressured, but short enough that it seemed to fly by.

Congrats -- your ring is lovely, and your story is so sweet!
