Well, my rings came in today! The guy lied to me and sent them out yesterday. I almost didn't get them today either because the post office closes at noon and I got the "missed you" tag in my mail box. When I went to the post office at 11:30 the mail man wasn't back from his route yet. I told them that I would feel a lot better if I got my package today because it had my wedding rings in it. They were very understanding and gave me a call when he came back in. They told me that if they were me they would want the same thing done for them too. smile When Ryan and I got back to the studio we took them out. I don't know if I told this to you guys, but I didn't order just the wedding bands. An engagement ring was also ordered. Ryan and I decided that we really wanted to get married, we've known that for a long time, but Ryan's job is not a good paying one so it would have been years for him to save enough for an engagement ring. So we skipped that part. No question was popped, there wasn't a ring on my finger, we just started planning the wedding. When I started looking at wedding bands I came across a Titanium engagement ring with a tension set princess cut diamond with the wedding band with it for $400, and there was a groom's band also available for $85. Ryan and I went for it. And that was that. They're here and I feel so so so much better about life. When we were looking at the rings Ryan took my engagement ring, walked up to me and got on one knee and proposed. smile And I actually cried! So we're engaged now, ring and all, for 6 days. biggrin
Here are some pictures of the rings:

After Ryan left for his bachelor party I also took some selfies. They never turn out how I imagine they will when I start shooting. I should probably sketch things out, but I always like what I get.

I love your photographs in your blog, especially the third photo; it's so haunting and luminescent. You've got a real gift for photography, I hope you never stop sharing it with us.

And I believe I owe you an apology: in a previous comment I referred to your future husband as "Brian" though he is clearly named "Ryan." Apologies!

Best wishes!

I saw the your photo in the IBTC's group. That was a gorgeous shot and you're a beautiful model. Have you considered being a SG photographer as well?

You're quite striking and talented. I saw that you do weddings and studio shots. Have you submitted your portfolio to high end fashion mags? Seems like you might do well.
