My husband is awesome... We have totally turned things around since July

[greenbriar]

18 years ago when we got married, we really had nothing!!!!!!!

our wedding set came from JC Penney and cost us about 200 dollars for ALL three rings.


tonight we did Christmas (daughter got one early last night ...guitar hero)

He told me that 18 years ago, he got me a cheap ring and has kicked himself ever since.

he got down on one knee and asked me to renew our vows on our Cruise in March and gave me a really huge solitare I am scared to wear it, it cost more than my first car


and...the enhancer will come when we renew our vows.


WOW>.

did not expect this at all

I was totally satisfied with my little speck truly

but

just

WOW

3. Great story

He sounds like a great husband, hope you guys enjoy another 18 years. Don't be afraid to wear the ring, flash it around!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

He definitely sounds like a keeper...

What a lovely and thoughtful gift...

I don't want to lose or mess it up

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I understand, but you should still wear it!

I think that in time, you will become used to wearing it, and it will make your husband so damn proud!

It's gorgeous!

:woohoo:

17. If you're afraid, get it insured

you should be able to get it appraised by a professional and add it on to any home insurance that you have.

7. ...

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. And just what did I say that was so funny, if I may ask?

[greenbriar]

9. me too??

And Miss CPeg...


do women take these rings off for doing dishes and bathing ect???

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Some people do take them off for dishes, etc...

But then you run the risk of losing them...

I have a nice diamond ring that I wear all the time...

The only time it's off is when I go to bed, and then I have a little crystal ring holder where I put it.

So it's off when I sleep and when I take my shower...

Otherwise I wear it...

I don't want to lose it!

I'm not sure what's up with that other poster...:shrug:


:hug:

[greenbriar]

16. I hadn't thought about not wearing it at night

so it doesn't snag the sheets?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Snagging the sheets would be a factor for you...

With a design like yours where it sticks out ...

Mine is set flush with the gold, so it doesn't catch on things...a bezel setting...

I just like to be free of things when I sleep...

I'm funny that way! :crazy:

[Zookeeper]

11. Congratulations, Greenbriar!

I'm glad you made it through your rough patch.

:toast:

[greenbriar]

12. We both are really trying!

we have captured what we had in the beginning

[Inchworm]

13. dont tell anyone

but I umm.. had something in my eye

:hug::loveya::hug:

[greenbriar]

14. your secret is safe with me

If you remember our summer, you would know this is really special

[Inchworm]

15. A most awesome story

and I thank you both.

:grouphug:

[NewJeffCT]

18. I did the same for my wife last week

when we got married, she was unemployed and I had debts left over from my crazy-spending ex-wife... so, we bought a small ring off of a friend of hers. But, I told her I'd buy her a nice one when we had more money.

I tried to buy her one a few years back, but she refused.

But, finally she relented recently and we went down to Diamond Row in NYC and got one.

[greenbriar]

20. that is awesome

We women are lucky to have such men!

[NewJeffCT]

21. I wouldn't say that.

I'm usually the lucky one.

Congratulations on your ring, though.

[greenbriar]

22. this is sort of what the enhancer will look like
