Congratulations!!!  :)

(PS - We designed my ring together with the help of a jewelry maker/designer, around a stone we bought during my 40th birthday trip to Antwerp.  Get so many compliments on it & people comment, in a good way, how it's not like any other ring they have seen before.  So thumbs up on designing your own - it's the way to go!!  :))
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

Thanks everyone! :) We've finally reached the end of the "design the ring" process, moving on to the "pay for the thing" and "make the thing already". I'm hoping it comes by the end of October.

Of course, what DF decides to do with it and how/when he'd care to "present" it are a whole 'nother issue. ;) I don't mind, though, he's welcome to do whatever he likes.
