Of course it's all about the man and the woman and their overwhelming love for each other. But I also have some love for this here ring. Steve did a tremendous job, because this wonderful bauble is beyond my wildest dreams. It's absolutely perfect. Better than perfect, if that's possible.
Is this the most crass post you have ever read? I hope so. I had some requests to see the ring, and well, obviously I'm proud of this beut, so like a man flipping open the hood of his muscle car to show off some shiny, chrome engine parts, I bring you: RING SHOTS.
Here is my view of the world at this stage, since I cannot. Stop. Staring at it.
I'll give you a tour. Obviously it's three stones. They are oval. OVAL! HE GOT OVAL STONES!
I worry every time I wash my hands that soap build-up will dull the shine, but I'm afraid if I take it off, I'll lose it.
Please do me a favor and pretend that I don't have old lady hands. Thank you.
This would be your view -- if you were standing in front of me, and I stuck my hand in your face and went, "Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!"
I apologize for doing this even virtually. Feel free to make gagging noises and roll your eyes.
And again, please ignore the fact that I'm sporting the hands of a 102-year-old. I was not blessed with young-lady-hand genes.
I actually initially had taken pictures of the ring in the box because i didn't want to show my wrinkly old mitts on the intar-web, but then I realized that it's time to get over it because for the next few months, everyone I know is going to get a good, hard look at their decrepit glory and I think all of you deserve the same treatment.
Enough about that.
It's a purdy ring.

My eyes!!! So sparkly.
Very, very pretty. So happy for you both!
It's gorgeous and very unique! Yay for Steve and yay for you. :-)
PS: You don't have old lady hands.
Holy mother of crap is that beautiful! YAY!!!!
I could not be happier for the two of you. It was definitely worth the wait for the hulacious rock that was bestowed upon your dainty little hand. Holy cow. I bet you get carpal tunnel from the weight of the ring... Needless to say, life is about the journey, not the ending. Your journey with Steve is just beginning and may it be a very long and beautiful journey. Enjoy and God bless. Count on us attending the wedding! Let me know if you need tips since I've planned 2 of them now. :) MH
It is beautiful and very unique!! Congrats again!
HOLY MOTHER
its HUUUUUUUUGE & gorgeous
congrats!! i have been reading and excited/waiting for this!
A gorgeous ring is the best way to hide hands you don't like, since nobody will be able to look past the ring to begin with. It's beautiful! And I'm all about owning up to the fact that OBVIOUSLY everyone wants to see the ring and just going for it. Screw worrying about being crass.
WHOA! It's gorgeous! And pretty and sparkly! I cannot even begin to imagine how distracting that is while you are working, driving, typing, or you know, just walking and talking. Wowsers!
It's a gorgeous ring! Congratulations!!!
If you're so concerned about how your hands look, get a paraffin hand wax, and a manicure. Then, moisturize like it's going out of style. In 6 weeks, you'll have new hands!
You don't have old lady hands, crazy girl.
And congratulations! It's gorgeous. I love the oval! So unique and pretty!
I'm with Clink- you totally don't have old lady hands, you're crazy! And what a gorgeous ring to stare at all day!! Steve did good!
Beautiful ring - congrats to the two of you!
What the? Old lady hands? What on EARTH are you talking about?
(And - pretty!)
i never thought i'd like more than one stone on the ring, but that is absolutely stunning! i really think the oval diamonds are what set it apart!
Very nice!
That is a beautiful ring. Don't apologize, bragging is allowed! Enjoy being engaged and don't take any crap from the cynics out there.
As a very new newlywed (we got married 10-13), I'll tell you that wedding planning can be both fun and horribly annoying, and also that the wedding WILL be the happiest day of your life, even if everything goes "wrong"! And don't believe anyone who tells you that no one has sex on their wedding night.
Congratulations! He finally did it! And although a little confused waiter, well, messed it all up, I admire his planning. Well done Steve.
Oh, yeah. The ring, the shine gave me amnesia. It's beautiful. He did a good job.
WOW!!!! Goooooooooooorgeous!
Seriously...stunning. I don't normally go for oval but you've swayed me! And you really don't have old woman hands!
Whew! What a beautiful and unique ring! Something to cherish - just like your hubby to be! Congrats!!!
