    Suprisingly, I was in love with a princess cut solitare, with a wider band. And then at anothe store, there was a set that had pave set diamonds (3-4 rows of them) with a princess cut solitare. Two completely different styles but I love both of them.

    However, we're going to visit a jewler in NYC in two weeks when we're there for my cousin's wedding. Here's a pic of one of the ones I wnat to try on (and suprisingly, is in the budget!!)

    Fun, fun, fun!

    Yes and no. It'll likely happen in the next few months, but we haven't said "Oh, hey, let's get engaged by this date". Even though we've been ring shopping and plan to look at more, I don't want a timeline of when we'll be engaged. That takes some of the surprise away from it!
     
    I do know we want a longer(ish) engagement, like a year or so. But, that'll also depend on where we want to get married (destination wedding) and what is available as well. We want some time to move in together, combine finances and save for the wedding too.

    Just a day. My cousin is getting married on the 17th, in Pennsylvania. We're traveling from Michigan and will be getting to PA on a Wednesday, so we thought it would be fun to go to NYC for a day. I was already really excited about it, but now that we're adding ring shopping to the agenda, I'm super excited!

    What a stunner that ring is!  I hope you have a great time "soaking" in this time; as I remember, it was fun, and went to fast.  NYC in December is great.  Along with ring shopping, what else is on your agenda that day in NYC?  I suggest 5th Avenue, the Rockefellar Tree (of course), and Serendipity near Bloomingdales.  (Ever see the movie?  It is one of my favorites! With Kate Beckinsale and John Cusak).
     
    We have tickets to go the 9/11 Memorial. FF really really wants to go, being that he's a firefighter (obviously). The only thing I really care about seeing/doing is the big tree in Rockefeller Center. My mom wants to see the sights around that area too. FAO Schwartz, Central Park, Radio City Music Hall, etc.  Aside from those things, we don't really have an agenda...just tooling around the city! I've been to NYC before, but it was for a long weekend in the summer. I'm looking forward to seeing it all decorated for Christmas.

    8 months, but have known each other for years. This is a second marriage for both of us, so right out of the gate we knew what we were looking for in a partner, what we wouldn't tolerate and what it takes to have a successful and happy relationship.
