Ok, my story is pretty interesting, but cant post my ring because I dont have the packge thing either...

Dh and I met in December at a bar my friends and I went to weekly. My friends boyfriend asked him to meet him there(they were teachers together). Anyway, we started talking and had SOO much in common, we talked for about 2 hours. So, we started spending a ton of time together, and we found out in January that I was pregnant(a month after we met).
We both freaked out, I made an appt. for an abortion(I know, how awful). I didnt really want to go through with it, but then again I hardly knew him...so, he told me the day before my appointment he wanted this baby and he wanted to move in together and get married. I didnt know if mariage was the best option because I wanted to take it seriously, not rush into it. Anyway, we told my parents, and my mom thought we should definately get married... we thought about it and we we said we wanted to get married. We went to pick out the rings together, but Dh gave me my ring on Valentines day and asked if I would marry him. So, we were married April 6, 2002 and had a beautiful wedding with 200 guests. The rest is history, lol...it couldn't have worked out better, we're very fortunate.

I love your ring Andrea! Everyone has such cute stories...


I tried (several times) to take a pic of my ring, but I couldn't get it to come out right. Even with different lighting it was still blurry.


Actually Kyle never proposed. Like I had told y'all before, we were just friends for a couple of years, went to get a coke one night and ended up at my house talking until 7am. During the night God revealed to us that we were supposed to get married. I asked him about a week later "so when do you want to get married?" and he just said "I guess as soon as possible". Keep in mind we didn't love each other for the first 2 or 3 weeks. He had been engaged literally 2 days before we got together but he knew it wasn't right and had just broken it off. So anyway he had a $500 ring that we took back to the store and traded in for my set (which is beautiful btw :o) During the first couple of weeks we spent a lot of time just talking and really getting to know each other, and had a lot of prayer and council from elders in the church (who also knew we were supposed to get married), then one night when we were praying God filled our hearts with a love so deep for each other it was almost overwhelming.


Now for the funny part about the rings... Kyle didn't want to spend any money on a ring for himself, and his dad never wore his, so he gave Kyle his ring. It was too big, and a wave took it out to sea on our honeymoon. I bought him another ring with a diamond chip in it, but it was so uncomfortable he would take it off everytime he washed his hands... needless to say it got left in a public restroom somewhere. His mom found one in a box at an estate sale one tme and gave it to him, but it was the same situation...left in a bathroom somewhere. So finally for our anniversary in '99 I bought him a "comfort fit" band, which he loves and rarely takes off... besides he knows if he loses this one I'll smack him LOL.


My wedding rings haven't fit since I was pg with Hannah, but hopefully now that I'm done having babies I can lose the weight and get them back on again. For our anniversary this year Kyle bought me a beautiful aquamarine ring to wear in it's place until I can.


and that's my story... believe it or not! LOL
