"A ring is a halo on your finger."

I think this pretty much sums up my wonderful ring :)

My aquamarine ring, created by Mastergoldcraft, was something me and my fiance both fell in love with. When he finally proposed, I got to see the ring, up front and center, and it was even more unique than I expected.

Eat your heart out, Frodo.

My Proposal Story

So I have been wanting to do a BBQ with our friends Steve and Lindsay for about a year- they bought me a portable BBQ for my bday I didn't get to use last summer! What I didn't know was that S had been planning on proposing to me with friends for this whole time! So when I proposed the BBQ about 2-3 weeks ago, he knew it was the perfect plan for his proposal- because it would be at the beach were we first met two years ago!

So, we got ready the night before for the BBQ- I had no idea what was going to happen! Not a clue. So we get there late and our friends are not there yet- I kept telling him to call them because I was worried they got lost in downtown Vancouver. The next thing I know we are sitting on a log near the water talking about our first date and the last few years- he kept asking me if I was sure I was ready to be with him forever- weird questions but I still had no idea he was going to propose. I thought we were just having one of our normal deep convos. Of course I kept trying to make jokes and he was trying to lead up to the proposal! Eventually we started talking about our families and how I couldn't imagine a day without him, or knowing him. I actually started crying to this idea because the convo was so touching, and the next thing I know he's on one knee proposing to me on the beach! We both cried and hugged each other. It was one of the most wonderful moments of my life.

My friends finally came (they werent lost, they were in on it!) And we celebrated with a BBQ and took pictures  then :)

“It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.”

I personally think Warhol has very interesting take on reincarnation....

Andy Warhol was one of the first artists to really uncover and popularize the cult of celebrity. From his piece on Marilyn Monroe, we had the picture of celebrity being mass produced, all encompassing, and a sought after goal by many. At the same time, tragic figures like Monroe still encapture the public's mind even now. It is no surprise then that in the modern age of technology, and twitter, that everyone but everyone wants a little piece of fame to call their own. What this begs the question is of course, does being engaged now elevate someone to being famous in their own circle?
