Shawn proposed today: March 13, 2009.More details to come in the next few days. ^__^
And yes, I have a Hello Kitty engagement ring!
I like running around in pixels and playing with dolls.
Oh my gosh! Congrats to you both! The ring matches you perfectly. =] You'll definitely need to tell us the story when you have a chance!

[this is good] Congratulations! I know this may sound silly, but is that a custom made ring with real diamonds? It's be cool if he had a ring specially made that way.

Thank you so much for all the congrats and comments! ^____^ Shawn and I are so incredibly happy right now. We had our close friends over last night to celebrate, and it was great. ^^
And I'm glad you all like the ring! <3 I can't stop looking at it. It's pure love, tee hee.
Posted by: Lauren | March 14, 2009 at 12:51 PM
Eee! I'd like to think Yuki would be super happy for us, too. That's such a sweet thought. ^^; Thank you!
Posted by: Lauren | March 14, 2009 at 12:52 PM
Thankies, Jamie! Yesterday meant the world to both Shawn and me, and I'm happy I could share a small piece of that day with all of you. Hopefully I can sit down an write a little bit more about our engagement sometime this week. ^___^
And I'll try to respond to your message soon, too. Sorry about the delay. I haven't been around Vox as much as I usually am in the past few months. <3
Posted by: Lauren | March 14, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Ooo, good question. ^___~ No, it wasn't custom made (although Shawn did have it resized for my ridiculously small fingers)... I'd like to think that I'm the only one in the world using this Hello Kitty ring as an engagement ring though, haha. That'd kind of make it one-of-a-kind then, yays.
All of the stones are either white or pink sapphires. (My mom is a buyer and seller of jewelry and she said they're great quality, so I was happy.) I absolutely love the idea of sapphires for an engagement ring-- something else a little bit more unique! ^o^
Posted by: Lauren | March 14, 2009 at 12:59 PM
[ciò è buono] You two make for a good looking couple. Being engaged is sort of a trial period. Be sure to test each other in many ways, because marriage is for a long time. I wish you much luck in the future and forevermore. --JFR

i hope u become happier everyday :D
Posted by: faith | March 14, 2009 at 01:47 PM
Thank you very much. ^^ We've been together almost seven years now, and we've been living together for a while. I do know what you mean by tests! As you can see, we aren't in a rush to get married-- we've discussed it and have told our friends and family that the engagement will be longer (probably around two years). Something like marriage is worth waiting and working for. <3
Posted by: Lauren | March 14, 2009 at 02:23 PM
Ahh, thankies, sweetie! <3 So far, this whole weekend has been really wonderful. I feel like I am getting happier and happier.
*hugs*

[this is good] Wow - congratulations!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
How did he propose!?! I love cute engagement stories
Posted by: Kat the Acrobat | March 15, 2009 at 12:12 PM
[ciò è buono]
Thank you for your response. Forget I mentioned anything about tests. You two have been together 7-plus years, so I am positive you know each other beyond any test invented. If anybody is positive about getting married the "right" way, it's you two. I am so happy for you. You will add a bit more quality to this world, something we sorely lack. God bless...--JFR
Posted by: john | March 15, 2009 at 12:26 PM
Thirteen has always been my lucky number, ever since I was really little. That's another reason why the 13th of every month means so much. Shawn planned it out so we could be engaged on our monthly anniversary, tee hee. <3
Ahhhhh, I love my engagement ring! I never got excited about getting an engagement ring until I realized I could find one more personalized to me. ^___^
Posted by: Lauren | March 15, 2009 at 02:10 PM
I will definitely give the details of the proposal in my next post. I'm planning to write a longer post that gives more of a background on my relationship with Shawn, along with the proposal story. ^______^ I'm just trying to find a time to get some new photos in of Shawn and me to add to the post! <3
Posted by: Lauren | March 15, 2009 at 02:12 PM
[this is good] OMG!!! Congratulations you two!!!! That's the cutest engagement ring ever =]. Best Friday 13th yet XD. 13's always been my favorite number too! Ah, just super duper happy for u both ^_________________________^
Posted by: ru ° | March 15, 2009 at 02:25 PM
Oh, that's so awesome! I never come across other people whose lucky number is thirteen. Everyone always tells me they hate the number. Boo! It has such special meaning to me, tee hee.
And thank you for your congrats! Shawn and I are so happy. ^u^
Posted by: Lauren | March 15, 2009 at 02:35 PM
