The lovely Miss Macy accepted my proposal of marriage tonight. :) We then set off to the Austin Symphony to celebrate the occasion.

Let’s get to the stuff the girls care about. It’s a 1.5 carat yellow sapphire.

    Congrats to both of you!

    It is indeed a lovely, classy ring, but I guess I’m not actually female, since I wouldn’t have cared or noticed if you’d skipped the ring shot. :P

    Congratulations! You finally caught one! And you didn’t even have to use the dungeon! I can’t wait to ooh and aah over the ring in person!

    congratulations! and thanks for putting in the ring picture…i’m way impressed if you picked it out yourself–takes guts to get beyond diamonds! (and i’ll be delighted to meet you, ms. future wife, if you ever get to ireland) :)

    For the girls outside of Austin and for Tam’s Mom, we want a couple more pictures of the ring. A different angle and 1 futher away. You know - you could have shown it to me a week earlier. I can keep a secret. Most of the time.

    I will shall provide as soon as I am within range of the finger in question.

    Unfortunately I didn’t have the ring until 2-3 days beforehand so no sneak preview…
