Who got engaged on Valentines?

by

Ok, so tell me … Did anyone get engaged today? It is Valentines after all and I believe that this date, and New Years are the two most popular days for popping the big question.

No, I didn’t get engaged. Uh huh. Nope, back when I got engaged – 13 years ago, it was New Years Eve. I didn’t even get an Engagement Diamond Ring that evening since we were both jewelers at the time. Yes, believe it or not I had a rare disorder known as “Jewelry burnout”. I bet that you don’t even know anyone else who has that disorder do you?

I still don’t have an engagement ring. Maybe it’s time to get one, although I have no idea what would go with my custom made concave diamond and emerald wedding band.

Hmmm let’s see. If I was going to get a Diamond ring I think that I might like one like this Diamond and sapphire engagement ring, but I’d see if I could substitute the sapphires for emeralds so that it would go with my wedding band.

Which engagement ring would you chose if you were looking?

Egreetings has cards for all occasions. So many in fact that I’m sorely tempted to take out their 30 day trial membership to test out all of the features such as being able to schedule ecards for delivery months in advance. If I used that one simple feature I’d never miss anyone’s special occasion again. If I liked the service as much as I think I would I could take out a one year membership for $13.99 which would allow me to send an unlimited amount of cards each year. I’d also save a ton on postage and on actual cards.
