One ring to rule them all

Ok, the tile of this blog is obviously taken from Lord of the Rings, but have no fear I am not going to geek out on you. This story is much more romantic and there isn't an orc in sight (no jokes please about me in the morning!).

As promised I am going to tell you about the engagement ring....
When Carl proposed to me he had a 'temporary' engagement ring - a plain gold band - the intention is that gold band will become my wedding ring. Presenting me with a band is actually more appropriate than it may seem - my Mum had a temporary wedding ring which I would wear - so it is a strange family tradition.

Carl took me to choose a proper engagement ring. We went to Hemswell Antique Centre just outside of Lincoln and thats were I fell in love with my ring. I always wanted an antique ring - something that had been loved before and needed love again. I realise that my ring is a bit 'different', but anyone who knows me will say that is entirely appropriate.

So that is the finally of the proposal. Our aim now is to keep you updated as we build up to the big day!
