I have gotten several e-mail asking about the rings.  We gave each other engagement rings so here is the picture of them.

Mine is

Made from high grade tungsten carbide, a material much harder than platinum or gold. The ring has a hardness close to a diamond and is almost impossible to scratch.

Hers is

Pear Shape Vintage Antique Engagement Ring.   All diamonds are set in solid 14k white gold with pear shape diamond and diamonds in the band.

Jess, I wanted to do this publicly, and I figured doing it here was great start.  I hope you know how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I love you more then I can describe within the limits of this tiny little story. We’ve been together for many years now, and I’ve known for most of that time that I wanted to spend my life with you.

Will You Marry Me???
