So, for those of you who weren't there, I proposed to Sarah last night at Pryankster Pryactice, and she said yes. We'd picked out the ring together, but she was expecting me to propose on Valentine's Day - our 1-year anniversary. The ring showed up Weds. night, and I managed to call C & arrange for a set of Mage to be included at pryactice. At the end of the set, I got down on one knee, took out the ring and asked her to marry me. She did suspect that this might be coming - I'm bad at keeping that kind of a secret, but the reaction was all I'd hoped for anyway. And yes, I'm babbling a bit...
This: http://www.crystalrealm.com/cgibin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=333&p_catid=20 is the ring we got, with a slightly larger sapphire, and with the inner two bands in white gold rather than yellow. As a side note, Mandira at Crystal Realm was very helpful in designing the ring, and we highly recommend her shop for such items (we'll be getting our wedding rings from her as well).
And coincidentally enough, we were already planning to meet her Dad for dinner tonight, so we'll be surprising him. :)

Congrats! Yay!!!

And someone else engaged within a year of starting date [though still not 5 months in...]. Woot. I'll start a trend.

Way cool, congrats & love to you both.

Don't even get me started on the HUGE number of weddings I have known for the next two years. I think I'm up to six or seven.

Darn, you had to pick a night that I wasn't there. Sorry I missed it.

3, so far--Christi/Eric, Hazel/Barnabas, and Shelley/Ruth. Loupy and M are (last I heard) waiting for him to finish grad school for the ceremony, and these two Kwazy Kids just got engaged--it's a little early to be asking when they're holding the ceremony, isn't it?

Congrats!!! That is wonderful news. You guy are perfect for each other.

Love the ring and the mentioned alterations, it's great to get what you want.

Keep me updated with dates, hopefully I will be able to fly to CA for the ceremony.

Yeah, it is. My bad. Also note my cavalier assumption that I'd be invited--that's not how I intended it, but I wince at it now.

On the bright side, I now know who Hazel and Barnabas are IRL! Off to friend them...

Da me too. I'm pretty sure I'm not invited to all, and that's fine.

Just scary (wonderful) how many people are tying the knot around my life right now. There's A LOT. I had 7 weddings to attend last year. This year is looking about the same.

Eventually I'll run out of single friends... right?

*shrug*. I note the ones that are happening, not necessarily the ones I'll go to. If they want to invite me, ok, if they don't, that's ok too.

Congratulations. I'll tell people at the dance picnic today.

Heh. The proposal was going to come on our 1-year anniversary, but I got impatient. :)

Current extremely tentative idea is May 2006 - in the hopes that we can have an outdoor wedding & invite the huge crowds of people we know. It would be nice to be able to isue a general invitation to all Pryanksters, but we'll see how things shake out. :)

Thanks. Hopefull the two of us will be able to come out that way and visit sometime, though I suspect that's more than a couple of years off due to the expense. I really wish I was better at keeping in touch with everyone over there.

That is great. Whether you can invite to whole gang or not, you know that they will all be there in spirit. Many well wishes for you and your gal.

Sorry. Only wish I hadn't been so zonked that I didn't make it last night. I wanted to see all this! Any instant replays??? Either way, happy for you two and the gorgeous choice of ring! I was wondering what style you'd go for to capture Sarah and you nailed it right . . . where it should be nailed! :o) All the best! C

You didn't recognize Barnabas from his icon?

What with him not being friended and all, I don't think I SAW his icon.
