The Bling and other stuff

So, here's the ring


















And for those who know me well enough, the prospect of wearing one ring all the time.... hmmm, yea. So now, all my other rings have to go on the right hand...

So, yay me, decided to do the announcement cards myself. We're sending them with the engagement gifts to those who couldn't make the party. Used the martha stewart line of papers. There are cheaper options out there though. Took me forever! It's three layers with vellum wrap and of course a pink bow!

Last but not least, part of the cleaning the night before the party. My doggie Sophie getting "cleaned"

Engagement is done, yay!

So, after days of not sleeping until 2 or 3am, we are finally through the engagement. I took Friday off of work to attempt to finish some last minute favor bags, the announcements and clean the house. The tables and chairs were delivered from Anthony's rentals. They were quite nice. Chairs better be for like $3.50 each! Anyways, we managed to squeeze five 60 inch rounds into the family room.

Here are a few glimpses from the engagement:

I like this picture except for my necklace is inside my dress. grrr.


















Here's mommy and me. The other thing is my bracelet on my right hand was turned in the whole time. That was kinda annoying too.


And, as my favorite auntie calls, here are the million dollar pictures. Don't mistake the smiles for smiles, hehe. It's actually me, my mom and my other auntie laughing. In my culture, there's no kneeling on one knee for the proposal, hence the laughing.














Anywho, will post the link for my favorite pictures soon, as there are lots and lots! Also, I'll post the new bling soon, as soon as I figure out the settings on my camera.

BTW: blogger sucks with the html editor thingie. It doesn't do as I want it. Don't have time to re-do my post in html right now, so I'll fix it later. For now, deal with the funky formatting.
