Announcement

On Saturday, Matt proposed :-) We're excited, to say the least. We're planning on getting married this summer, so it will be quite a short engagement! At some point soon, when my camera is functioning properly, I will post a picture of the ring, which is absolutely beautiful. The central stone is an emerald-cut sapphire that belonged to my mother. The ring has a sort of antique look to it, and it's just amazingly perfect for my tastes.
In terms of how he proposed - well, the dog was involved :-) Poor Pepper had no idea what was happening and why, when his collar was fastened around his neck, he was not taken outside. It was all very cute. Matt's plans were nearly ruined several times as he tried to hide the already-collared Pep from me while I wandered around the house getting dressed after a shower. Very amusing :-)
