Ring at Colonial Jewelers

Wow, georgeous right?!? I am in love with this ring, and all of the benifits except that they do not take care of the ring free of charge after you purchase it there. The price is right, it is actually on sale from 2,800 to 2,400... and possibly if we went in there, that they would drop the price lower?? I almost feel like the psycho girlfriend about this ring, where I want it so bad that I have set it to my sesktop background on my computer and my cell phone.

One thing that I wish that I had was the support from my family and his family that we should get married. I am just not sure-- I know that his sister christi would love to see us married. I dont know about his mom anymore though, because she has seen the way that his drinking and his behavoir have done me wrong. My mom has also seen the same. My mom does not understand how I stay with him, which might explain that I really love him and I pray that he will realize that I am his best friend and treat me accordingly. I can't explain how great it is for me to just be with him and feel content. The past couple of weeks I have been able to deal with a lot of stress and I think that I did so very well. I feel like I have a sort of confidence in our relationship.

I asked him when we were getting married on sat night. He said soon. So.... lol lets go get our rings!!!

Ceremony

Matt has said that he doesnt want to have a big wedding or anything. He said that he just wants it to be a casual thing and he just cares if his mom and sister are there, and my mom and dad. I'd like to have more people there than that.
Even though he doesnt want to have a big wedding or anything, I think that I'd still like to have a get together at my house with some food and drinks and set up some tables and decorations and get married infront of the lilac bush or something?? Or out in the dront yard by my grandmas tree that we have planted there. We dont need to have seats for people, and I don't need to have a dress or anything. It could all be casual, but I do want a preecher. I need to start thinking of people who are able to marry us I guess.
I said that we could wait until I am finished with school and get a job and everything, and he says that he wants to be married before all of that. I dont really know what to think, I'd like to have a little bit of time to plan something for myself. I want like close family and friends to come and just have a really good time together. I think that it would be awesome. I don't care what time of the year we have it in or anything. We could also just go to the court house and have the justice of the peacce marry us and that is free of charge, you just have to pay for you marriage liscense. And then we could come back to my house and have the party there, That way I dont really have to even stress about time management or anything like that. we could get married a couple days before we have the get together, or whatever. I dont really care.
I emailed colonial jewlers about the ring so I am waiting to hear back from them about that.

I finally saw a moissanite

So I visited Ultra Diamonds in the outlet mall in Leesburg Virginia today and I saw a moissanite diamond stone. It was visably a more greenish and grayish color than real diamond. The weight for some reason felt like it was much lighter than a traditional ring, and they were set in 14k gold. I did not like the settings that they had there, and they really weren't that much cheaper than the diamond options. I would be able to get a much larger stone, but the color of the moissanite was definiatily enough to make me think twice. I would still consider it, just depending on what Matt would want to do. They said that Moissanite was just as hard as diamond and it would last like a diamond would. I asked them if there were other better options as far as colorless goes available, and they said that they thought that all the moissanite would have that color in it.
So I have been looking around at the different jewelry stores.
The perfect ring that I want right now is at Colonial Jewlers in downtown frederick. I might just email them to make sure that they still have it available and see if they could order if if they do not have it in stock anymore. Also I might ask them about christmas sales and if they could do anything with the price around the winter time? The beauty of this ring surpassed all the other rings of that same style that I had looked at, and the price was less than those not as nice ones that I saw at other jewlry stores at the mall. Price was $2,800 but the woman said that they weer able to work with the price and could go down to $2,500. The only concern that I have with this ring, is that they do not offer free iridum plateing and things like that, like Kettermans does when you purchase the ring from them.
Kettermans had one ring, which I think is too large for my likeing, and it was above the price range that I am willing to have anyone spend on me.
There are a lot of other options that are available out there, not which are as nice as the ring that I saw at Colonial Jewlers. I shopped around the mall and the stores have good prices, although quality would be an issue for me. Finks is a beautiful store, although prices are too high, and the settings alone are around 3,000 and the guy said that a half CT would cost around $1,500. It would be a wonderful ring to have, but I think that it is too much money. I'd rather just have the other ring from colonial than have to order a diamond and worry about spending that much money.
