The Engagement Ring

I can't quite figure out what possessive adjective to use to describe the engagement ring. Is it "my" ring? Is it "Wm's" ring? Is it "our" ring? I think I'll ignore those sticky possessives and refer to it as "the" engagement ring.



Anyway, it was difficult to see the ring in the dark at the temple, so I requested that as soon as we were out of the temple gates that Wm pull over so I could turn on the dome light and admire the ring. Really, my then-boyfriend-now-fiance did a fantastic job selecting a ring! It's gorgeous. I don't know that this is the exact ring that I would have chosen for myself, but I love that he worked so hard to select this one.



At first I was taking pictures of the ring using my keyboard as background. I thought this would be a sufficiently geeky display of my personality. Alas, the super-macro mode made every dust mote seem like a hideous, gray monster. Every one of those pictures were rejected.



I am pleased with the way the flower shots turned out. The flowers in the background are the ones William gave me on the night he proposed to me. I've never used my digital camera in super-macro mode before, and the slightest movement of a flower would create a blurry photo. All in all, I'm rather pleased how well the photos turned out considering my limited photography education and even more limited experience. [for those with reader: pictures of the ring are included in this post]

  1. classy. i love the elegance of the band, and it's delicate twist. is it white gold? it looked maybe platinum in the first shots with the flowers, but then it almost has a hint of gold in the later shots.

    flowers=good idea. don't want to overuse the geek card. it'll always be there, of course. but so will the feminine, woman side. and every man loves a well-balanced girl.

    Congrats again! ♥

  2. Hey Blue, it's white gold :) Occasionally it does fool the eye to have just a hint of gold.
