Someone order some champagne for them. Seriously...

...and they looked fabulous.

I had to duck out early because of work tomorrow, but stopped in to say that I've never seen Kamala look more radiant. Pictures did get taken, which they may or may not choose to share.

..and yes, they did show this jeweler the Ring, and I can tell you absolutely that Bill raised the bar for anyone wanting to get engaged.

Great to see some familiar faces (Deb aka Dejah, Que aka Sea Urchin, Stan aka desertdiver, and Kamala aka WreckWench) and meet new friends (Marietta aka C-Food, Jim aka Narwhal, John aka PlatypusMan, Dan aka Scubatooth, Mark aka Capn Jack, SWMBO, and Bill aka OTWDiver).

I agree with the Jeweler's assessment - Kamala's engagement ring is absolutely gorgeous! The newly engaged couple seem very happy - and Bill appears to be up to the challenge! :P (j/k Kamala!)

Had a great time and hope to catch another D/FW HH soon!

I will certainly agree with all the others, the newly engaged couple seemed very happy and it was great to see some new faces as well as those I've met before.

Now for the ring, yes I agree it was stunning and Kamala seemed so very happy which is great as she truly deserves it! Bill it was great getting to meet you as well!!!

I wish you two all the best that life can bring!

How about one of the happy couple? or is the ring more important?

Well I didn't say that the we didn't want to see them as well but, hey, let's face it, we know what they look like but we haven't seen that ring yet! I'm hoping to get to be able to see both!

I would have, and was going to, but you have to realize something: this is a tangible part of Kamala and Bill's relationship that one presented to the other--and I didn't want to do something like that unless and until they decide that it's okay for public consumption.

I'm aware that we all have some interest in what's happening in our friends' lives, but let's give them a bit of room to breathe now as they are just beginning to discover the delights and mysteries that men and women have found in each other since the first prototype models came out.

I can't describe that indefinable feeling I got looking at them beyond saying that they just glowed with happiness--and I think that one picture did capture that. I hope they will share it with us.

Wow, so, because I wasn't in attendance on the trip when Bill proposed, and wasn't in Dallas for the happy hour I (and 2700 other SD'ers) don't get to 'share' in the event or share in the couple's public appearances...

pictures are even more helpful since "the indefinable felling can't be described".

gee....thanks guys

:angel2:

Hey why don't you sponsor a NE Happy Hour to celebrate? As if I need a reason to celebrate! :D

Maybe that will help you get a feel for that 'indefinable feeling' thingy. :wavey:

And they were really good too! Brought back a lot of memories too! Thanks for bringing them C-food! And thank you again for joining us. I hope all the engagement stuff wasn't too overwhelming :o

The Happy Hours are usually quite different sans a recent proposal! :teeth:
