ah, ususally mine gets clean in the shower... but when I actually take time to clean it I have this little bottle of blue liquid that they gave Joe when he bought the ring. I just drop it in there for 2 mintues and then scrub it lightly with a soft toothbrush.

So last night FI and I are busting our butts to get our wood flooring installed when this song comes on the radio that I heard once before but could never find, nor ever heard again. So all hammering and nailing stops, and we turn the radio up. This morning I get to work and google 'true companion'. Turns out we might have found our wedding song! It's great. Here are the lyrics True Companion - Marc Cohn Baby i've been searching like everybody else Can't say nothing different about myself Sometimes i'm an angel And sometimes i'm cruel And when it comes to love I'm just another fool Yes, i'll climb a mountain I'm gonna swim the sea There ain't no act of god girl Could keep you safe from me My arms are reaching out Out across this canyon I'm asking you to be my true companion True companion True companion So don't you dare and try to walk away I've got my heart set on our wedding day I've got this vision of a girl in white Made my decision that it's you allright And when i take your hand I'll watch my heart set sail I'll take my trembling fingers And i'll lift up your veil Then i'll take you home And with wild abandon Make love to you just like a true companion You are my true companion I got a true companion True companion When the years have done irreparable harm I can see us walking slowly arm in arm Just like the couple on the corner do 'cause girl i will always be in love with you And when i look in your eyes I'll still see that spark Until the shadows fall Until the room grows dark Then when i leave this earth I'll be with the angels standin' I'll be out there waiting for my true companion Just for my true companion True companion True companion

Welcome! Awesome location... I might be a little biased

What a great story! He did such an amazing job setting everything up! I love it when we get to hear about engagments right after they happen! It's so exciting! Nice rock!!!

you have got to be kidding! i assume you've taken about 100 pics of your ring and you're going to post...right??

Yeay! Welcome! What a great location... I may be a bit biased

I think you forgot to say "AND SHOW THE BLING!"

home remodeling is tough work! we've been at it for months. It's hard to make decisions when you know they'll be around for a while. Or hard when you really want somehting you can't afford/wouldn't put in a starter house - ie glass tile... i want a glass tile bathroom SOOO bad!! We just painted the entire house about a month ago. This past weekend we decided we weren't 100% thrilled with it so we're repainting parts...

But then on the flip side, there are days that I think "three or four nights in Mexico for our wedding is going to cost them the same thing it cost Joe and I to go their stateside wedding..." I'm indecisive on this.. obviously.

here's my fav quote of all time, and the one i usually write in wedding cards. it's not lovey at all, but ... i'm rambling. here it is "enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the best things"

I go back and forth on this. At first I wanted 0, then I wanted 1 each, then 3 each, now I'm back to zero. And I'm leaning toward zero because i don't want people to feel obligated to attend. It's a lot of money to go to a wedding anyway, let alone a DW, and then to be in it also! thats a chunk of change.

Then I looked down to the beach, and saw the guests, the chairs, the ocean, and my fiance facing away from where I was. Almost the second I looked up, he turned around, and from that moment on I'm not sure I saw anything but his face as he watched me walk towards him. I saw him take a deep breath, which I knew meant he was trying not to cry, and all I could do was smile to myself. It seemed to only take a second to get to the end of the aisle where he took my hand, and it was the best feeling in the world to finally be where we were. good story! totally got teary eyed

our wedding bands are going to be our presents to each other... along with an engraving that we'll try to keep secret until the wedding. (we'll see how that goes!)
