As some of you know, I proposed to Casie while we were in Ireland over St. Patrick's Day weekend. Fortunately she said yes so now we're all set to get 'er done and be married at some point in the not too distant future (more details to come). We got engaged in the Burren region of Ireland which is on its western coast south of Galway. We were on our way to the Cliffs of Moher (pronounced 'more', not 'mohair' as Casie thought) and I had a ring burning a hole in my pocket the whole way! We got out en route to walk around a particularly amazing set of cliffs and the moment struck me so I proposed. I wasn't nearly as eloquent as I had planned on being but Casie assures me that I gave a decent speech.
The ring is an antique from a market here in London. It is from the Edwardian period - roughly the 1920's - and is platinum with a bead design along the edges and a floral design through the middle. We were extremely lucky that it fit Casie without any re-sizing - pretty good since I was going on guesswork!
Casie and I are both very excited about this new chapter in our lives and look forward to catching up with all of you soon.
