So Coyote’s Kitten wanted to know how long Taylor and I have been engaged and if we have a date set.
How sad is it that I had to look thru my old Yahoo 360° blog to find the answer? Lol.
We got engaged in November of 2005.
These are the rings he bought me in December of 2005
We moved into our current flat in April of 2007. Our movers stole my rings. I”m still depressed two years later and we can’t find any we like as much, either. *insert huge sigh here*
I’d initially taken the engagment ring off and put it in the box with the wedding band because there was a prong loose and we were going to have it fixed at the same time as we had new half shanks put on both rings.
Now I wish I’d left it on and risked losing the stone since I lost them both thru backhanded, asshole theivery anyhow.
Fuckers.
Ahem.
Anyhooo…
We don’t have a date set. At first we’d planned to do it within a year but we’ve kind of put it off for financial reasons. Not because we want a big wedding we can’t afford but because I do far better as a single mom when it comes to taxes. How horrible is that?
We’ve both been married before – me twice and Taylor three times – so I guess the actual “doing it” isn’t as big a deal to either of us as knowing we love each other enough to do it eventually. Well, unless he’s changed his mind. Maybe I should ask…
And there ya go. The answer of the day.
Got more questions? Ask away!

I drink a lot of coffee, ride a motorcycle, have an 18 year old son and a decade long relationship that began in a chat room.
What assholes :(
When you do get married, do you think that you will have a big wedding or something quiet?
Oh my gods, I am so sorry about your rings! *hugs* Those bastards! :-(
OH my god, i have the same rings.. Seriously. I’ll take a picture of mine and send it to you soon.
I’m so sorry you don’t have yours anymore, stupid movers.
Sometimes I wish Master and I had thought about the financial repercussions of us getting married a little harder. But I’m glad we’re married so I guess we’ll survive :P
Oh… and those rings are beautiful! I’m so sorry ass holes stole them :( I’d have been devastated.
Have you thought about finding a custom jeweler and having them make new ones? Might even be cheaper than the original rings.
Thanks, guys.
@Rayne
I dunno. We got them at a steal on Ebay. They were appraised, after we got them, at four or five times what we paid for them so it’s hard to imagine anyone making them cheaper. They were also made in the 20′s so being antique was half the appeal to me. In fact, they looked amazingly similar to my great grandmothers.
I just keep looking for another set, hoping we come across one at a time when we can afford it!
That is so horrible about the movers. The rings are very pretty.
It isn’t horrible about taxes and not getting married. Master wants to marry me but right now financially it makes more sense to not marry.
It feels weird and “unromantic’ to put finances first but… I just can’t see throwing thousands of dollars a year away just to have a piece of paper telling us we’re a couple. The teen is going to be 16 this summer so it’s really only a few more years that he’ll effect my taxes. I’m sure Taylor and i are patient enough to wait. And, by then, we’ll need to get married for the better health care we’re sure to need in our dotage. heh
Wow! You’ve been married twice? And are a mommy? I had no idea. I just had to look at your EF profile to find your age because you look sooooooo young! I had you pegged at 10 years young, AT LEAST. LOL
Your rings were gorgeous. I’m sorry to hear about them being stolen.
Adriana’s last blog post..Sugasm # 165
I think I love you. :)
Turning forty this year is freaking me the fuck out! Doesn’t help that my smart assed teenager keeps saying “what, you’re not already forty?”. Hmmph.
Just wait ’til he wants to get his license. I’ll remind him of all the evil, old lady comments as I deny him! Muwahhahaaa.
On a serious note;
Thank you. It’s always nice to be told I look younger than I am and to have someone commiserate with me over the rings.
If I ever see that mover dude on the streets somewhere….
I”mma go Terminator on his ass.
