I love my engagement ring - as all b2bs do. It symbolizes the exceptional courage and sheer chutzpah that males of our species manifest by willingly ending their bachelorhood and irrevocably binding (or promising to bind, rather) themselves to us worthy females for the remainder of their lives.
Size, carat, weight and brilliance are secondary to what it represents: a choice, wisely made ... a tantalizing promise, freely-given. It is the embodiment of commitment ... and of pride in us, their partners-to-be-for-life.
Of course, the fact that the itsy-bitsy flash of brilliance is now proudly and prominently displayed on our ring fingers denotes a corresponding promise on our parts as well. Sigh. It signals the end of our carefree days of being a "prime catch," in our own respective ways. Yep, we've been caught and taken off the market ... and are most probably utterly reveling in our new status as wedding planners! :-)
I just hope I can manage to squeeze in my dream wedding band in our budget :-)

i know what you mean about loving your own. i love my ring to...even if there was some coaching from my end...it was my dream ring.
can't wait for the big day to come...too ecstatic! :)
I also like that channel-set wedding band. I tried it on and it's so perfect with the matching engagement ring. :) But, I'm still doing some number crunching to squeeze it in the budget :)
tnx for both your comments :-)
I know! though I love my ring, sometimes I wish h2b did not buy from Tiffany na lang kasi perfect match na yung mga set bands nila with the solitaire, pressure tuloy! :-)
