Best Gift I could Ever Recieve..

I am still in awe; right in front of my closest family and while we were opening gifts, Mark presented it to me and of course I said yes. :D

That's awesome, Congratulations!! :sweeet: :clap: :w00t:

I have to say, though... that's the funniest looking incubator I've ever seen. ;)

Oh, wow, congrats!! :fest2:

Congrat's Jen that's great!!!!:fest: :carouse:

Thanks everyone! We were sitting unwrapping gifts at my grandparents', (my mom's side of the immediate family) and about halfway through, my dad and uncle walk in (parents are divorced, so this was very weird!) Well, knowing my uncle workd for a prominent jeweler, a little red flag went up in my head, but then Mark started announcing what he was going to do, and he wasn't looking at me! So then he comes over, pops it to me and I accept, and it was just the most awesome thing!
We do have to go for a refitting since it is a little big for my ring finger; I have it on my index finger for now. :) I guess my uncle pulled off a miracle here, since they got the stone Fedexed from California on Fridy and he had to set it pretty quickly! I just can't stop staring at it.. it is an Oved diamond with baguettes on the side (sounds like a meal! hehehe)

Congrats:carrot:

Congratulations! He did a proper job of keeping you guessing. :-)

Congrats! I wish both of you a beautiful life together!

Okay I might like snakes and all but girlfriend...

THAT IS WAY BETTER THAN AN INCUBATOR ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!!!

Congrats sweetie to you and Mark, may you be as happy every day as you are today!

P.S. Little word of advice...old toothbrush and some toothpaste...really excellent cleaner for getting snake crap out of your jewellery...don't ask me how I know this...LOL

Congrats.....Here's to many years of happiness

I love your ring!!! It's simple, elegant, and not too gaudy...it's perfect! I wish you many happy anniversaries!!!!!!!:sunny: :fest2: :love: :hug:

congradultaions.

so are you the least bit disappointed since you were all ready for an incubator or something with flexwatt? :giggle: i'm guessing not!

:D congrats again gen!

Thanks everyone; I am more happy than I thought humanly possible. It doesn't feel like some groundbreaking exciting event; more like, a natural progression and evolution of our relationship. I am just quietly happy about it all, and I know it is right. We got together in May of 2001.
Now... time to tentatively set a date, and do all the fun wedding planning stuff! I already enlisted my sister as maid of honor; my best friend will be one bridesmaid but I can't really think of anyone else who would fit the bill; do two bridesmaids sound ok; I think so.. we plan on just getting married here at home since there's lots of room outside for the reception and parking; or maybe we will do the deed somewhere and just have the reception here at home.. renting a tent will be a definite though, as the weather is unpredictable.. maybe have the ceremony at a nondenominational chapel? I just don't know about the logistics of having the solemn ceremony under the tent, and then carting in tables for the catering and reception part; but maybe that would work? lol, this is fun stuff!!

Wow, what kind of pet stores do you have around there where you live?? :P

I knew he was lying... LOL

Congrats women - can't wait to hear all about the plannning, and then the pictures, and then all the anniversaries to come!

Congrats

Great timeing on markys part also, This will be a year to remember.:hug:

Congratulations!!!

The best number of bridesmaid's is the number you end up with...a friend of mine had none, I had one, another friend had 12...it's really up to you. =)

No rules required; do what YOU want and what is the least amount of stress. Period.

Oh and by the way, your ring is GORGEOUS! WOOHOO! And yeah to the toothpaste and toothbrush trick...cheap, easy and harmless to the stones and metal. =)

Congratulations sweetheart!!! Wow that ring is gorgeous!! :sunny:

Congrats! I love the ring :)

Congrats Jen & Mark :D So Jen, did you ever find out what the "flexwatt involved" gift was? or do you have to wait for it to be picked up, before you find out?

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!

May your happyness be exceeded only by your long lives together.

Congrats to you both! :grouphug:

Congratulations!!

That was his ruse to rationalioze all the time he spent going to my uncle's and dad's to plan the whole ring thing out. :)
I Do however plan on getting some FW for my January birthday!! My b-day has traditionally been my way of asking for anything I did not get for Giftmas. :) If I get a nice bonus check this month I might just as well buy it myself.

Congratulations!! :fest: :carrot:

I must be turning into an old softy - this thread actually made me go "awwww" out loud. :)

Thanks! I just sit at my desk and stare at it; my friends have even called me on it! "There's Jen starin' at that ring again!" But including me, three out of seven of us on my team are engaged.. so they know how it is. (and most of the others are married.)
