Not Martha

some happy news

Scott and I are getting married! We’ve been together for ten years so this comes as a surprise to absolutely nobody. Still, we’re outrageously happy. The ring above is my engagement ring, the story involves a late night search, a bubblegum machine and a single quarter.

And of course I will be keeping a separate blog about our plans, if you’re interested please join me over at Planning To Elope.

    Congratulations! I’m planning a small summer (July) wedding myself, and having a great time. It’s weird, but I’m finding that others are more concerned about this than I am. It’s just a wedding, after all. Haha!

    Congratulations Megan!!! It’s about time! ;p

    I’ve been with my boyfriend for eight years now, and that gives me hope. He has been mentioning things here and there, so perhaps I’ll be a bb soon enough.

    Congrats. I married my husband after being together for ten years. We just went to city hall, invited a few family members & that was it – exactly how i wanted it.

    Have fun!!!

    Congratulations! My husband and I eloped after being together 10 years too, when we realized that 08-08-08 would be an excellent day to get married. We decided 3 days before.

    It was perfect.

    Mazel Tov! I just wanted to point you towards an etsy site I’ve recently become obsessed with-they have really beautiful (and reasonably priced) rings that could totally work for a wedding ring (I’d do it if I were engaged….or dating…..:))

    http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6258539 (SinglebBeautiful is the name of the store)

    Also, you could post on etsy for someone to make a replica of your ring in a precious metal…..

    again, congrats!

  • 28 Katie // Mar 6, 2009 at 5:36 am

    Just chiming in with a belated “woohoo!”. Getting married after having been together for ages is the best, and I know you will — as you should — have fun with the whole process.

    Thank you thank you thank you to you all, it means a lot to me!

  • 34 Ami // Mar 8, 2009 at 1:48 pm

    My husband proposed to me with a ring identical to that one! I still have it, it’s very precious to me. We will be celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary on May 22nd.

    I was told by a couple that was married over 50 years that the secret to a successful marriage is compromise and never ever lay down to sleep angry with each other. So far, so good :)

  • 35 Suzy // Mar 9, 2009 at 2:03 pm

    Yay! So fun and exciting :)
    Congratulations to both of you!

  • 36 Kristel // Mar 9, 2009 at 4:40 pm
