awwwww that's so awesome and that's a beautiful ring!
But that means I wouldn't be able to go to the wedding! That's not very nice ;)
 

It's so funny that you posed the ring on something that reads "...have to make us suffer and like it."

Now THERE'S a sentiment for spending life tied to one person.

;-)

Congrats,dear.
 

awesome, congratulations!
 

What a gorgeous ring! :) Congratulations to you both -- let the fun begin!!
 

That's amazing!

How does Chris's mom feel about the wedding?
 

ering - thanks! and yeah, that's what everyone is saying.. "but that means we don't get to go!" sorray. :( it'll definitely be a lower-stress event though..

jen - the magazine started out as a backdrop, then i noticed the spine and thought it would be funny. glad you noticed. :D

ike, lovey, anon - thanks! i'm very happy!

we haven't told chris's mom but his sisters know so we're assuming it'll eventually work its way to her... she'll probably discourage a going-away wedding, but be happy we're finally doing it since then we can have some kids! she'll at least be happy about that, even if those kids will be half me! ;)
 

well make sure you're not around her or talk to her at ALL while you're pregnant, cause that'll be WAY too much added stress, definitely not good for a baby :)
Sucks that you'll have a crappy mother in law :( Maybe she'll get better once you're married, or once you get pregnant, ya never know.
