We are so happy and excited for this moment in our lives!
Moving on to a different topic....Oh, what, you want to know how Shane proposed? Okay! I'll share! ;)
Sunday afternoon we decided to go across the Bay Bridge and take some pictures at Tuckahoe State Park. Now, if you know Shane and I, you know how much we love taking pictures and hiking through the various parks Maryland has to offer. So, it was no surprise to me that we were going and doing this together.
After walking around for a bit, Shane suggested we walk up towards the woods and overlook the river that was there. I was snapping some shots, when I heard him whisper something. I turned around and he was down on one knee. I asked "What are you doing?". He said something lovely, and proceeded to ask if I would marry him. I said "What?"
He had to repeat himself, and after many, many "Oh my God" and "Really!?" responses from me. I finally realized I was supposed to say "YES" and got this beautiful ring, and myself a wonderful finance!
I'm a little sad because we brought the ring back last night to Zales because it needed to be sized. They said it takes two weeks, but we may get it back in one!
In the mean time, I wanted a loaner ring. Shane laughed, but humored me, and we walked into Claire's. I purchased this little number, and it has already turned my finger green. But, nonetheless, it gets the job done!
I suppose when we're married and I have the wedding band, I won't need the stand in since I can just wear the band solo! But, until then, I have this to fall back on!
So ladies. Do you need a "stand in" while your ring is off being "groomed"?
