The Princess' Wedding Ring

November 3, 2008. Leih finally purchased a wedding ring for me. I was so stunned when he showed me the ring on the net. I had no words left to describe the awe I felt upon seeing my wedding band, it had 17 full round cut diamonds on the center and 74 single round cut diamonds on the outside.

I didn't expect he'd give me something so precious. I've already imagined our wedding bands to be just a simple plain ring, so far from this one actually.


If I were to choose all over again, I wouldn't trade this for another... I am so inlove with my ring...

The Royal Proposal...

April 20, 2008. It took me quite a while before everything sank on to me. I just got engaged! I'm still awed by how it quickly happened. It was almost 10 in the evening and I was on YM chatting with Leih when out of nowhere, he decided to forward an email from a certain Ms. Alvarez. I was clueless on what it was about but as I opened it, I couldn't believe my eyes... It was a confirmation of a wedding reservation for December 5, 2009 at Fernbrook Gardens. I was literally speechless. Here is the detailed conversation that night:

Leih: "Mahal, that is the surprise I've been wanting to give you. Hindi ko alam anong sasabihin mo pag nakita mo. We've always talked about how we both dream of a December wedding, and knowing you, mahilig ka sa Disney e, kaya gusto ko, mabigay sayo yong dream fairy tale wedding na gusto mo..."
Leih: buzz... buzz... mahal??? are you still there?

Ayha: "Totoo ba to? Talagang nagpareserve ka na? Agad?? As in? bago ka nagpropose??"

Leih: "Mahal, nagbayad na ko ng half. Kase kelangan mablock ko yong date e. Weekend ang kinuha ko. Pati yong church and yong horse-drawn carriage. Hindi mo ba gusto ang date? Alin ang hindi mo gusto? ayaw mo pa ba? haaaay...
Ayha: "Nyek.. As in half?? whoah... teka lang teka lang... uhm...
Ayha: Asan ring ko? hihihi."
Leih: "Mahal, are you saying yes???" (smiley)
Ayha: "Grrrr... me choice pa ba ako? hihihi.. nagbayad ka na e.. hmp."
Leih: "Hindi nga? kase if di mo pa gusto, ipapalagay ko na lang na natalo ako sa poker.. huhuhu"
Ayha: "Oo nga... Payag na nga... Ang hina mo naman. hihihi. Mahal, kala ko me ring pag nagpopropose? " Leih: "Mahal, susunod na ang ring ko for you...Ihahanap pa kita ng magandang magandang ring.
Yeheeey!!!! official na to ha? I love you love you love you love you!! Mahal na mahal kita!
Ayha: "I love you too mahal... Grabe, we're getting married next year!! Can't believe this..."
Leih: " Believe it mahal... You have to see the place for yourself. Pasama ka ke Bugs okay? Text ko sya."

That night, I slept with alot of things in mind. Di ko alam pano ko sasabihin sa Mommy at Daddy ko. I also had to go to Fernbrook to actually see the place and sign some papers that would make our reservation complete. Ito na ang start ng long preps... kakaexcite..
