I’m engaged!
Tim proposed to me on Saturday night in a romantic setting outside the Sydney Opera House overlooking the Harbour Bridge.
We’re planning to get married in NSW this year, around the time of our three year anniversary.
Here’s a picture of the ring. It’s white gold with three Moissanite stones. I wanted an alternative to diamonds to avoid mining, cartels, conflicts, and marketing. Photographed sitting on the red roses Tim bought me.
And the picture below shows the location of the proposal. (Photo by Diliff, cc-by-sa)

Congratulations! I only wish I had known about Moissanite gems ten years ago when I was shopping for a similar ring.

Congrats, Angela and Tim ! Many, many happy years ! What a beautiful and significant place to get engaged.
Lovely ring. Moissanite is such a fantastic fine jewel. I love it.
Did you get the ring at Moi Moi Fine Jewellery in the QVB ? What a great store, and what lovely girls who own it. They have some fantastic moissanite jewellery there.

I don’t know how how to make Wordpress accept Greek characters.
