The story about my ring begins with a story about my mother’s ring.
Years ago, my mother had a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL (like hallelujah-choruses-sang-in-its-presence) ring. Whenever she wore it, I’d ask if I could try it on. It was simple: a thin white gold band and a big, sparkly diamond. In my eyes, it was perfect.
In her eyes, it was too simple. Too young. She needed a setting with a bit more presence. When she told me this, I begged her not to change it and to save the ring for me! This was a few years ago, when I had no mister. She laughed and assured me that the ring my future fiance chose for me would be just as beautiful, if not more so. She ended up with a gorgeous, stately setting. And, eventually, I ended up with my dream ring.
And now I present…

my simply gorgeous, crazy-on-fire-sparkly ring:
And just so you can see it clearer, here’s one more!
Did you have a dream ring in mind before you got engaged?

oooh! pretty!
i had an idea but that went out the window the day we went ring shopping and we were both so incredibly underwhelmed by it. but now that we know which style we both like, i’m looking forward to seeing what the boy ends up selecting!
Beautiful! (And — hehe — I’m a fellow Honda driver too. ;-))
Very pretty. I had a ring in mind, but it’s funny that I fell in love with the one he picked instead.
beautiful ring! I had a ring in mind, and it was completely different from the one i got & i am so glad now that he picked the one he did!
Very beautiful. I love the simplicity of my ring. The simple band and high quality, clarity, and size of my diamond fit my personality so well.
Beautiful! 
And may I say your nails look so nice..puts mine to shame..yikes!
I dreamed of a simple Emerald cut diamond ring and my engagement ring is just that.
Aww thanks, girls!
@Ms. Mojito: Lol thanks, it’s the nail polish! Essie’s Sugar Daddy…amazing stuff! I love that you ended up with your dream ring, too.
So, so gorgeous! I have no idea what kind of ring I *actually* want. I love the idea of a solitaire but I’ve heard that you have to actually go shopping to know what you end up falling in love with, so we’ll see!
So classic.. I love solitiares.. that’s what mine is too:)

About Me: I have a soft spot for all things sweet and romantic. Desserts, love songs, sappy movies? Yes, yes, and ohh yes. My fiance and I enjoy singing to our dogs, creating crazy ice cream sundaes, and generally being lovey dovey cuddle bunnies. We also do socially acceptable things like dancing, throwing Frisbees, playing high stakes board games, and taking unreasonably fun road-trips. We're planning a Korean/Serbian wedding with plenty of playful, personal touches!
