Engagement Ring

I realized I have never posted about my engagement ring or posted any closeups of the ring (until yesterday with the wedding bands). I hate putting pictures up of the rings but realize it's one of the "rites of passage" for brides. Also, I was inspired by a post on the Weddingbee about taking artistic photos of your rings.

So, I decided to take a few pics for fun - with the TAX CODE. Yes, I'm a huge nerd. I just love it though!!

About the ring. E and I went ring shopping January 2008 and he made me wait until June 2008 to propose! We narrowed it down to 2 rings, and he picked this one. I was a little wary about it at first (at the store—not when he proposed) because our jeweler described it as a "tank" in response to E's questions about the likelihood of the diamond falling out. Never describe a woman's ring as a tank please. It's a turn off. Anyway, I absolutely love it and a little over 10 months since he proposed I have made the ring public in an official internet broadcasting way.

I've been thinking about it and may (after finals) post about our engagement. I'm not sure how many people know the whole story. I've been shy about sharing such a private moment but now that's it's been awhile that's wearing off. ;)
