Michael and I are now officially engaged :) It became official this past Sunday, 11.13.11, and it was adorable! I'll post pics of the ring so you can all see it, we had it made at
The Image Gallery in Wayne, NJ, the jewelers are friends of the family, Ruth and Shimon Zimmerman. We used stones we already had, rubies for the flower on the top (two of the rubies came from a pair of earrings my parents had given me as a child, and one of the rubies came from a pendant my late Aunt Joan had given me). The diamonds on the sides of the ring came from a yellow gold ring of my mothers, and the engagement ring itself was made in white gold to match my great-grandmother's platinum eternity band, which will be my wedding band...as of June 30th!
We're having a small engagement brunch for those who live in the area on 12.11.11, at my parents' house, from 12:30pm-4:30pm. It'll be fun, so come out if you're around :) I sent out an
e-vite but I didn't have everyone's email address, so don't be offended if you weren't "officially" invited. (Come anyway...I would!)
We're sending out the Save the Date cards asap, so you'll be getting one soon! Can't wait to see y'all at some point!
Much love,
Julie & Michael
