it was way too big on me. i was living in constant fear that it would fly off at any moment and i'd never see it again. i knew i needed to say goodbye to it for a few days but i really, really didn't want to. i love my ring. it's gorgeous (at least i think it is). it's more than i would have ever expected. i'm still in that phase where i stare at it throughout the day. i called the jewelry store like any excited new engaged woman and begged them to rush the order so i wouldn't have to go without my ring all week. they promised to have it back to me within three days. i could handle three days. i held back the tears while i walked out of the store with a bare finger.during those three days while my ring was probably missing me as much as i was missing it, i came to the realization that there is so much more to our life together than this ring could ever represent.
this is about so much more than a ring (a beautiful, sparkly ring that i love).
it's about sitting on the couch watching "the office" and naming our future children (names are not in any way related to the office. we just happen to watch that show frequently).
it's about emailing each other at work with links to houses we wish we could buy.
it's about being in a crowd of people and seeing him wink at me from across the room.
it's about supporting each other's dreams and goals.
it's about love notes in lunches.
it's about him knowing i'm going to fall asleep as soon as we turn a movie on but watching the movie of my choice anyways.
it's about learning to be selfless in life and love.
disclaimer: while i know all of the above are true, i'm not getting rid of my ring!

How about "it's about knowing we both have great families who love us very much...especially those who do not live near us but come to visit as much as possible and stay up late with us and watch scary movies from the 1980's with David Bowie even if they have to fly in late at night after a long day at work." P.S. I like the house in Port.
Ahh, love this post. So happy to hear that you've found your true love.
And that ring is GORGEOUS! It looks very similar to the ring that I helped my friend's husband pick out for her. It's so timeless & beautiful!
There is nothing better than this kind of love! Love that you found it!!!
