OMGosh, MM! You certainly SURPRISED me with this posting! I was thinking as you were describing the sunset...how this table certainly FITS that ....the reds & golds & yellows!...and then, WAMIE, a diamond! Congrats, congrats! Your t'scapes are beautiful! TFS! Jeanne S.

Doing the Happy Dance! Wooo Hooo.
I was enjoying your Sunset Table and thinking how pretty the colors are on it and the side table and how you are trying to convert me to yellow....LOL...
then WHAM, the diamond and the sweet SWEET words had me smiling and sighing. I am SO happy for you.

big hugs,
Karen

Sooooo Happy for YOU!!! Beautiful ring and hope you will have years of happiness together. The colors will be great.

Really like the colors on your table and side cabinet. They seem so warm and inviting. Maybe I'm still warm from your narration. Wonderful decorations as always.

Congratulations!! Now you can have such fun planning a celebration! Best of Luck!

What a neat surprise to be scrolling through enjoying your table and all the pretty decorations and then see your finger with that fantastic ring on it! Congratulations to you both! ;o) Luvs

Congratulations!!
Now you have a whole new tablescape to plan, or should I say several tables to plan?
Then there's the dress, venue, flowers, invitations....and so on. I guess there's more than just a table now. LOL
Have fun,
Candy

Woo Hoo!!! That is gorgeous! What a great surprise for us and sounds like you too. And Candy is right, we'll be expecting lots of planning and pix.
Frou

Congratulations. What a wonderful time in your life!

Thank you all! :)
Karen : I still have hope of converting you to yellow. lol

Candy: LOL, you're right. Soo many things to do but it's coming together with ease. I used to have a full time career as a planner which is proving very useful.

We have decided on October however the day is still in progress (either the 9th or the 16th which is my beloved mothers birthday so she'd be sure and not forget.. lol)
Chocolate and Ivory for the main colors and flowers in the fun fall colors of reds,oranges,yellows and creams.
A friend/former co-worker of my Fiancee's has offered his expansive country estate built to honor his late daughter for the outdoor ceremony (Lord please don't let me freeze to death) and reception.
I have my gown but it's secured in hiding so pics of that will have to wait :-).
If anyone wants to see them, I'll happily share pics and details as time goes on as I try not to be overwhelming to other people and generally don't share unless asked.
Over the years, I've learned sometimes people just don't want to hear about that stuff.

Oh My MM...I too was so surprised by your post!
I was enjoying the Rich Colors of your table setting and
'WHAM'!! Your hand with your beautiful ring!! Congratulations. I'm so happy for you and wish you A LIfetime Of Happiness..
I got married in the Fall, it was DH and my favorite season.
Sounds like you have the perfect setting 'A Country Estate' to have your wedding..and with Natural Fall Colors all around, I'm sure it will be just lovely.
Please keep us posted on your exciting plans...we'd love to hear all the details..
