Talk about pure TORTURE! Ring has been here, waiting for my Fiance to come home so I can have it. I put it back in the pretty blue box and put it into his night stand to wait until he comes home.

He was supposed to be home today! April Fools' Day to get my ring and then married on Friday, April 13th.

NOPE! They had to go rescue some yacht racing Aussies that got hurt in some ugly seas. My man will most likely have his sick bay full today.

But..... the 3mm wedding band I ordered came in, so maybe I'll pull out my e-ring and go take some pictures down at the beach today. Stay tuned........

Awe, isn't the wait the worst?

Think of how brave and amazing is the man you are about to marry

Yes, pics, please

Wait. You are getting married in less than two weeks?! This totally got past me.

He decided he didn't want to wait longer. I wanted to wait until June because I have this thing about May weddings. (Everyone in my family & group of friends who got married in May has had ugly bitter divorces, save one person.)

I want a small intimate wedding, just he and I and a few close friends, then a long weekend some place quiet by ourselves.

Sounds like a perfect wedding Hoyden.

Vanilla! your Avatar is hilarious!!!!!!!!

PICTURES....PICTURES....where are they? tapping foot!!!!

So you're feeling superstitious about a May wedding, but not about Friday the 13th? Good for you. CONGRATS on the upcoming big day!

He's home!! And I got my ring!!

First Ring picture!!



And now a quick picture from the Media taken once the rescued yachters were brought aboard my fiance's cutter. My fiance is in the lower left hand side of the picture. He was the "medical expert" cited by the news.

Congratulations! Your ring looks lovely, can't wait to see more pictures. All the best with everything and enjoy your new sparkle!!!
