Engagement ring incoming

[ayashi]

Chris just ordered my engagement ring. It's technically a Sept birthstone ring (it's a sapphire), but the claddagh looks really nice. We're getting it in white gold :D

It's coming from Ireland though so... it will probably be nearly Christmas by the time I get it. Still, I can't wait!! :D

I'm still so excited, it's hard for me to be in a bad mood for long. I just have to think "Chris proposed to me!" and I'm back in super happy land. It's kind of sad XD

Also a site that Liz linked me to and Jen said she used (theknot.com) is turning out to have a lot of useful features, so I thank them both! I was browsing around this morning.

(Randomly also, I played Left 4 Dead last night with my brother and Chris... is it possible to play that with 2 players locally and 1 or 2 online and allow both local players to talk on voice chat? Or is there maybe a way to turn up the volume on the voice chat to an audible level? Chris could not hear Jim at ALL through the speakers and it was really frustrating for him, I think, since I was the one with the headphones on. I didn't always remember to communicate everything Jim said over the voice chat so Chris almost walked off a building once. OOPS.)

Some of my own thoughts...

- Gowns: I've really liked Jessica McClintock for gorgeous wedding/prom dresses. I've never bought from them, but every time I've checked the price tags, they were always reasonable for what they were. There used to be one in the Holyoke Mall, but I think there isn't any more, but the website has a search for them.
- Flowers: Consider fake flowers.
- Veil: others mentioned making your own, but most of the weddings I've been to in recent years the bride didn't have one at all. (I mean, it's not like this'll be the first time Chris's seeing your face, or whatever the reason behind the tradition was.) Or consider borrowing one for the "something borrowed."

My mom and Chris' mom both went with a crown of flowers on their head instead of a veil, so I was thinking of doing that! I'm not sure yet though, need to look at my options :D

And thanks!!
