OMGG

WOWW! Matt proposed to me christmas morning 2010!! 5 days before I am 21. I really thought that he would make me wait a long time for the ring, or to propose. I am so excited and happy it is unbelievable.
I think that we are making some progress trying to decide what we want to do. I still want a white dress, and I still want a preecher, and I still want ONE day to celebrate US.. And I think that every part of that is comprimisable to certain things that he wants. I know that he doesnt want to have to wear a suit or rent a tux. the more simple it is, the easier, and more enjoyable that it will end up being for him. I can understand that.
I think that we have agreed that having it at the pond would be a great idea for us. I love the gazabo and i would love to have it right there-- with the beautiful trees and everything. I am excited about having such a nice location and area down at the pond that i have realized that I like so much. it would just need a few decorations to be able to turn it into something out of a magazine. We both want a small ceremony, with just our CLOSEST family and possibly some very close friends like ashleigh and whoever matt would really like to be there. Those are some of the things that we really need to get clairified. After the ceremony at the pond, then I'd like to have the BIG party/reception up at my house and then everyone who wants to come can join us to celebrate!
I still want to send out invitations for the reception party, especially to the family and friends who I really want to have show up.
The dress:: I am thinking not over 100.00 maybe?? I want something that fits great, i dont care where I get it... and I want it to be comfortable to wear all day long.
I am super stoked to be wearing a simple beautiful ring from someone with a beautiful heart who I am looking so much forward to spending the rest of my life with!!

Cushion VS Radiant

This is really what I like about the radiant "crushed ice" look. I prefer this look to the well collected looking cut that there is also avail.


I googled "crushed ice" look for a diamond. and Am getting some pictures that come up to show what that means.


I do not like the way that this chart shows the radiant. It looks more like a princess cut to me in this chard. And i would prefer the cushion to the radiant that they are showing on this chart. This is what I am having a hard time understanding. Why and how do the radiant cuts look different when they are the same cut??
























I am just having trouble creating a way to compare the radiant and the cushion. This is a pretty clear chart that shows the distinction between the two different cuts. There was also a "chopped ice" look, or the "chunky" look to the diamonds. I prefer more of the "chopped ice" look like in the radiant in this picture.

Almost 21

So, lately I have been thinking a lot about the future, my goals, what I want in the rest of my life. I have decided to start working towards an associates degree in radiography. I will start by doing my general education requirements at FCC and then once I am done, go on to hagerstown community college to do their 2 yr program. I am excited about the oppertunities and doors that this will open for me later on in life. I am hopeing that maybe during the program I will also be able to attain some medical experience at some point and be able to get a good job as soon as I have completed the program.
It is mid december now. Looking forward to my 21st birthday on the 30th. I have looked around at some different jewelry stores and what not. I dont think that white and ivory would be the place to buy. I dont think that colonial is the correct thing that is the LIFETIME piece that I am looking for, no matter how much I did love that ring. I am not going to settle for a fake diamond, that is neither a life time piece that I desire.
Matt said that he got a credit card and activated it and he will be able to go and purchase a diamnd engagement ring. so WOW, I really did NOT expect this-- and I am very suprised and looking forward to it. I am going to just let matt pick it out I believe. I will try to let him know one more time what it is that he should focus on when going into the store. I don't really care about the setting. I would like to have just a plain solitaire setting and then I want him to do the honors of picking out the diamond for me. I think that he will do a great job at that! and I believe that he is the one purchasing the ring, so he should have the honors of making the decisions about it, unless he really doesnt want to. There are a lot of really nice bands that I could put with it, i'd like to find something cheap but something antique looking to pair with whatever solitaire engagement ring that he will get for me. That is the best part about the solitaire... LIKE i have no idea what I REALLY want right now as far as setting goes, so later on down the road in like 5 years I can pick out my semimount and keep my beautiful diamond that matt gets for me. And ANY band will go with the plain solitaire setting. So I think the plain/classic ring styles will suit us the best.
When matt told me that he got the credit card to get the ring, it almost felt like he was asking me to marry him right there on the spot. I got this feeling in my stomach, my face, my hands and legs that I dont think could ever be met by any other feeling. It was as though my brain were fireing impulses, like it were jumping for joy inside. So I can't wait for the moment when he does propose. No matter how many times i may invision it or think it all through, I will not be able to predit that feeling until the time that it comes.
So for now-- Matt and I have talked just briefly about how we would like to get married. I had once thought of having a wedding at Georges Mill bed and breakfast in lovettsville. That would have been perfect, but would have been more costly then I think either one of us would have wanted. I can understand his desire to save money, and to not spend it on a big shindig that is just one day that we will blow a whole bunch of money on. I completely agree. But my parents would be more than willing to help me have a ceremony-- they would probably pay for anything that i asked them to, but what I have come up with seems to have a light budget with it.
The gazabo at the pond would b the most perfect place to have the ceremony. I am thinking like 25-35 people attending the ceremony and then have an after party at my house. I could just buy a nice white dress somewhere for like 100.00 and then matt can wear his nice clothes. NOT make it a HUGE big deal, but make it memorable-- for us and for some of our most closest family or friends.
