If I seemed at all distracted or busier than usual last week, it's because- I'm engaged! After 6 amazing years of growing together the mister popped the question, and I said yes! Miss Modish is going to a Mrs., by golly!
We went engagement ring shopping together and found this perfect-for-me handmade one by Kamofie- I love its simplicity, its low profile and organic shaped band and find myself frequently distracted by its sparkle! I also got a wedding band by her for the big day.
Now we're dress shopping, suit shopping and planning our wedding getaway for this fall (I'll tell you more about that later!) Feeling floaty and more in love than ever!
congrats congrats congrats lady!!! ohh how very exciting! i LOVE your handmade ring! have fun with planning!!!
