the long awaited ring pictures...blurry

So here they are, finally. The pictures of the ring! Every girl has to show it off, as you know, so here is my turn. I love my ring (not as much as the man who gave it to me, but close). Sorry the pictures are unclear, but hopefully you get the idea.
Stefan had this ring designed for me and spent weeks searching the city for a goldsmith who would make it for him. They all seemed to think it was impossible, but not Zimmy Diamonds.
My ring is white gold, with an ideal round cut diamond. It has a four prong setting, and that is what makes it look somewhat square. The design Stefan created included all the little things I liked about the rings we saw when we went shopping. He had to get two rings cut up to make my dream piece of jewelry. My favourite part of it is that when you look through the trellis part that holds the diamond in place, you can see the point on the bottom of the diamond. That was the part that everyone said was so impossible. They said there had to be something supporting it. But we knew better, because we had seen them like this. Anyway, now that its all said and done, I am extremely happy with my ring and I can't wait to wear it every day for the rest of my life.
To tell you the truth, all this wedding stuff is kind of overwhelming to me right now. I'm feeling pretty stressed. School is still very much a priority and I don't want it to slip too far. My mom, a province away, is helping hugely making phone calls and finding info and booking things, and otherwise, I'm not at a stage where I need tons of help right now, so I'm kind of stuck. I had a good cry with my mom on the phone today, though, and I feel better. I've been getting lots of advice from people not to get stressed, to have fun, to enjoy because this time is so short, and I understand all that advice, but right now, I am stressed, and no amount of telling myself not to be is going to change that. What will change it is prayer and rest and accomplishing my goals, telling myself that soon the major stuff will be over and I will be able to relax.
Anyway, I'm also pleased to report that, despite the stress, I'm still really excited and falling in love more everyday, and I'm really overwhelmed by the support and encouragement I'm receiving from the people around me. Thanks to you all!








And this is what it looks like on my finger!

So now, I'm going to continue in my half hour to be still. I leave you with my newest favourite verse, probably to be the theme of my wedding.

"If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us." -1John 4:19
