Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

Thats funny Nicole! Long breaks are good too because it gives you both a chance to grow up and then realize how great you still are together.

hey girls!! i am sooo excited I got my "new" engagement ring today!!!! I will post pics soon. I love it.
The ring my FI gave me was a family heirloom ring and was a bit smaller than he hoped, so we looked and looked and looked and I finally found one!!! I am so picky I can't believe it. At least my FI knows exactly what he's getting into before he marries me LOL!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hello ladies I have been reading but haven't been able to post. I work with mutual funds so the end of the year is super busy; it puts a damper on the holidays. Anyway. I everyone's stories about how they met their mates. I find it interesting how we all have different stories and journeys but all end up in the same place.

Jason and I dated in college for 3 years and when he started talking marriage after graduation I bolted. I know that's terrible, I got super cold feet and couldn't imagine myself being married, I was only 23. We didn't talk for almost 5 years and one day friend of mine started talking about him and she dared me to email him. Jason and I both work for the same company so I knew where he was at.... working in London. Full proof plan not to run into him. Well we ended up talking again and of course before I new it I was having an email phone relationship with someone on the other side of the pond. We did this for 6 months before be moved back to the states. We have been back together for over 2 years since that email. Over all we have know each other for 10 years. When we started telling people we were engaged, they would say "its about time. " :-)

Ok girls, this is weird! I too broke up with FI for about 6 months, I block this out of my memory I think. It was the most miserable six months of my life! He even had planned a Valentine's Day for me way in advance and we were broke up on V-day and he told me he still wanted to take me and it will be our "farewell trip" our breakup wasn't messy really because we were still such good friends, it was just painful. He was working in New Hampshire that V-day for an hour each day for 2 days, so he flew us out there first class, got the fanciest hotel he could find on the water, treated me to the best meal I've ever had and we played in the snow the whole week (us CA kids really love snow!)the snow was so heavy that year, all of his appts got cancelled! I being at the airport alone (he went up to Canada for a week directly after that trip) and just sobbing and wondering why were were breaking up to begin with. =)
