New Ring, Old Love
Alphabe -Thursday the great weekly meme over at Jenny Matlock’s blog has reached the letter ‘N’. Where do the weeks go?!
For this post I need you to find your romantic side Dear Reader. Come on, you know you have one somewhere, just dig about & find it. The reason I need you to be romantic is because this is an ‘Ahhh’ post.
This week saw hubby and I celebrating the 25th anniversary of the first time we went on a date. We both knew that the other one was special and we soon became an ‘item’. To mark this Nick bought me a dress ring as a token of his feelings. Neither of us knew that within a few weeks we would be talking of getting married. The reason it all came so soon was partly that we were not spring chickens but also my son was just moving into secondary school and the teacher in me would not moved him half way through his high school career so it was either sooner or much later.
We chose sooner and told our friends that we were getting married. As I had already got a ring, I didn’t feel I should push for an engagement ring because the one I had would be fine. However, 25 years later I have felt it’s loss and we have finally bought an engagement ring!
Isn’t it beautiful? Diamonds and sapphires and it fits wonderfully with my wedding ring. So, I’m a happy bunny.
Thank you for being romantic and do pop over to Jenny’s place for some more ‘N’ posts.
What a beautiful ring!
Congratulations! Wishing you 25 more while wearing that nifty ring on your finger!
Thanks for sharing your happiness with us!
Hugs and A+
The ring is a beautiful sign of love and commitment! I always enjoy a love story!
Awww, what a lovely ring! And here’s to twenty-five more years, happier than the first quarter century. (Oh dear, it makes me feel old to think in those terms, especially since 1987 isn’t long ago at all! My apologies for mentioning it. But I still hope things get better and better.)
NICE!!! 🙂
Gorgeous…Enjoy! and Congrats♫♪
Your ring is sooooo lovely! I never got an engagement ring, and Rod would never think to buy me a ring to go with my wedding band. I’m happy, though.
a sweet post — and such a ring!
Here’s my ahhhhh. and congratulations on 25.
how nice to get a new ring! It’s beautiful! 25 years and getting married sooner was a great idea! Congrats to the both of you! {:-Deb
Beautiful. Congratulations. What is a “dress” ring? Here we have a “promise” ring.
Your ring is beautiful! Congratulations!
Congratulations – what a sweet milestone, and a beautiful story. I wish you many more years of happiness together. Your ring is stunning – may you wear it in good health. <3
That is so kind of you. Many thanks!
Ooooh – that is soo sweet! How romantic… congrats on your 25 years, too.
Gorgeous ring and what a sweet story! My ring is a sapphire surrounded by diamonds — non-traditional and I love it! Plus, as it turned out, the sapphire is my daughter’s birthstone! Congrats on your 25th!!
Congrats on 25 years and what a lovely ring!
Thanks Gilly!
Congratulations. 25 years! And what a lovely way to celebrate it. Beautiful ring.
It’s a long time isn’t it!
I lost my engagement ring shortly after our3rd child was born. I was heart broken & devasted over my loss. I insisted to my DH that a replacement was to needed & it wouldn’t be quite the same. After several years of being without one, he knew secretly better & bought another in 2001 and gave it to me on Christmas eve just like he did with my first one. You’re welcome to read that story here, if you want. From one romantic heart to another! Hope you’ll join me in today’s ‘N’ post reading!
It certainly a nice one, congrats.. 😉
Why thank you Sir!
CONGRATULATIONS! 🙂
Xx
Thank you!
The story behind the ring is lovelier than the ring – if possible. Congratulations.
That’s nice to hear!
Such a beautiful ring, sapphires are my favourite jewels and coupled with diamonds you couldn’t go wrong. Well worth the wait. Wear it always.
It certainly was worth it!
That is a truly beautiful ring, and so romantic too! Aw! Love the blog title too, so sweet :O) xx
Many thanks you softie you!
