Inscriptions

When I told my friends I was proposing to Socs there where the usual questions...

... "How did you know you wanted to get married?"
... "How much was the ring?"
... "Where did you get it (ring)?"
... "How are you going to propose?"

etc..

Then Jonas asked "Will you engrave anything on the engagement ring? How about the date of your proposal?". Sounded like a good idea at that time, but I had no idea what to put in or even the exact date I was going to propose.

Jokingly I said "The one ring to rule them all..."

It was a nice joke. Kinda half meant. And now that I think about it, perhaps I can get that engraved in my wedding ring.

Although I'm not getting it engraved in my "actual" wedding ring (Matus Jewellry has this "Diamond Inside" concept that we are adopting... another entry for that), I could get that inscribed in my "mock" ring. It's basically a silver replica of our "actual" wedding ring usually carried by the ring bearer and worn for "safety reasons".

I was reasearching on how it would look like and I came upon a website that listed a few "cool" inscriptions as well, here are some of my favorites:

"OMG WTF"

"42" (from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe)

"Put it back on"

"DITTO" (from the movie Ghost)

The Question

On the day of our 38th month anniversary, on top of the cliffs of Batanes, in the island of Sabtang, surrounded by the most breathtaking view I have ever seen, Allan asked me to marry him.

And I didn't say anything.

Contrary to what people think, I didn't say "Yes". Nor did I say "No". But I did cry and I hugged him and I knew that he knew what my answer was. He knew what it was even before he asked. But by asking he was telling me and everyone else who would know that it was time to officially start planning one of the biggest days in both our lives.

And so, true blogger that I am, this blog is born. I had initially started one of the generic wedding blogs but found myself drawn back to blogger. Once a blogger, always a blogger.

This will be where Allan and I will post all our planning and brainstorming ideas for the wedding, and sometimes, maybe even things not directly related to the wedding.

(And in case you've been misled, my unspoken answer was a definite YES)
