finally got engaged!!! almost three years after getting married but psh! whatever!... it takes time to find the perfect ring (and... um, money) and this was it. i've never been a fan of the "engagement ring" persay. i never really got the appeal of diamonds... how can something so precious represent marriage? it seems false to me to offer a token to symbolize what isn't so. marriage isn't flawless and love is far from perfectly crafted... it's a combination of beauty and extreme hardship: a balance of darkness and light, truth and secrets, pleasure and pain.
this ring i thought, beyond its beauty captures what it REALLY means to get married... to make a commitment to another person while staying true to yourself.

Very cool - the whole diamond thing is too cliche, which is why I want a sapphire. I've been married 4 years and still don't have my engagement ring.

I'm not a big "ring fan", but HOLY CRAP this is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

I got my MIL's engagement ring. Round solitaire, 2-1/2 carats in platinum setting. It's beautiful, but it's a hand-me-down. I want a ring picked out with my husband for me.
I'm gonna work on it.

I just finished your book, and cried at the proposal. I had to see the ring, which you described so beautifully. I love it, love you guys, love your words! Congrats!
