Last night I got a present that made me cry. →[More:]
The emerald belonged to the BF's grandmother. His aunt had it set with the diamonds. When we were visiting her in AZ, she gave it to him to give to me... because I'm the one he's going to be with forever. He actually used those words.

Oh wow, that's so cool and, well, yeah, wow :)
I guessed it would be a bag of onions...

That is such a sweet story. The ring is absolutely gorgeous.

I can't stop thinking about it and smiling. And smiling and smiling and smiling...

Wow youngergirl! Lovely story and beautiful ring :)

Congrats! Man, this must be the time of year for proposals- you are the 4th girl I know (at least!) who got engaged in the past 3-4 weeks.

Wow!

Although it may seem like it, not engaged. I suppose I would call it more of an adult promise ring.

posted by youngergirl44 05 January | 14:20

But promise ring sounds stupid. So I won't call it that either. It's just wonderful.

Beautiful story, and I'm so happy for you. But, sweet holy Mother-o-Heaven, that is one gorgeous ring.

posted by theora55 05 January | 16:23

It is gorgeous :)

awesome looking emerald, but the way you got it is billion times more awesome. (which is a lot, since I'm a sucker for pretty emeralds, and a bilion is yaknow, a lot. yeah. Mucho much.)
