My sister lives in DC areas If I happened to be in town for your wedding, I will send you a PM.

Oh, don't be silly, it's 18K yellow gold--classic! :Bleh
The picture is computer-generated, because I picked the band, diamond, and pronginess separately...but it's basically like that.

Oh, you mean she didn't help you pick it out??? :-S Part of the fun of getting my ring was helping him pick it out, even though I didn't have a clue what I wanted...hehe

[matie-k]

Congratulations to you two! I'm so excited for you! Are you saying that you want a January wedding? (you said something about January)

[Samer]

:-S :-S Oh noooo! I got down on one knee and surprised her with the question, she said yes, and I pulled out the ring, which she thought was perfect. I could have given her anything and had her love it (I even teased her with threats of a heart-shaped diamond), but I think what I got fit her pretty well. We will wedding-band-shop together though.

[Samer]

Thanks, Katie. And everyone.

We want a January wedding. Her parents want a 2015 wedding. It'll probably be somewhere in between. First quarter of next year is what I told her dad we hoped for when I called to tell him the news.

[Guest Guest]

lol well I totally understand that, Samer... Vince would've probably surprised me with the ring if he knew my ring size before he got it. But I have a very small ring size and if he would've guessed, the ring would've probably fallen off...hehehe. :Green

That's cool that it was a surprise. I tried not to let Vince surprise me but he still did anyway (I didn't think he bought the ring, cuz when we looked at it I told him I wasn't sure about letting him get it yet...hehehe)

[matie-k]

My husband surprised me with my ring too, and I was just thrilled beyond words to have that beautiful sparkly thing on my finger!

I highly suggest a short engagement. It's nigh to torture when you just long to be married and together all the time! :tum

[Bakershalfdozen]

Kathie, Kathie! Where's the element of surprise?? :Bleh I told my then future dh that I like marquis-shaped diamonds. He did the rest and we shopped for the wrap and wedding bands together.

:thumb We were engaged in May and married in July.

[Pastor Matt]

:clap: Great news!!!! :wedding:

When you get a date set, let me know. If I am preaching in the Maryland area at the time, I'll crash the wedding. :lol:

[Anon]

I like the idea of the guy picking out the engagement ring and surprising the girl. Very traditional and I like that.

Too bad you aren't closer, I could do your cake. :cooldude:

Are they going to make you work for your bride:

Gen 29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

[Samer]

Hahaha, yep, and she doesn't have a sister, so no more than seven!

[Guest Guest]

I wish someone would convince my dad about that short engagement thing!!!!! I HATE waiting... like really, really, really, really, really hate it :Bleh But I have to wait, because there's no possible way of moving it up now...
