After 6 years!!!

[ushiwakafox]

He proposed on the 4th of July after 6 years of dating!
I took a trip to see him for the weekend since he's going to Japan for his first assignment next month so I wanted to spend as much time with him as I can while it's still affordable to see him. The ring is so beautiful, I'll post a pic of it. It was a wonderful way to begin our weekend together.
I'm just so ecstatic, even though we're apart again. Can't wait to start planning!

Any tips on wedding planning? It won't be for a while, we're waiting until I get my degree so it'll be over a year. Plus I want a fairly small wedding. I'm planning on keeping a binder to keep things organized. Any advice would be wonderful! I've been looking forward to this for so so long!

I love it, I can't believe it's mine! It's a white opal and two blue topazes. I love opals, plus it's my birthstone. And I love that color of blue it's my favorite color. He did so good!

Congratulations!! I feel like it's engagement season Your ring is gorgeous!

Definitely keep a binder or folder of everything. Sign up for The Knot and use their to-do checklist. It's really helpful!

Ditto on the Knot's to-do list. It was very helpful for me. Wedding advice... start the planning now; you'll thank yourself later - I pushed a lot of things off and was unnecessarily stressed out the month before the wedding. Don't assume anyone (even coordinators at the wedding) will do what you want them to do. It's okay to be particular about everything and repeat as often as necessary. There were a few things that went wrong at our wedding and it was because Frank and I assumed what should have been obvious.

A note about TK's checklist: while super helpful, it includes some things you may not be doing for your wedding and repeats items some times. I went through, for example, and deleted all things related to the florist, as we're not having one. Take the 10-15 minutes to do that and you'll save yourself stress later.


Oh. And remember this: at the end of the day, as long as you and your SO are married, then the wedding was a success.
