Shumpei`s here…

photo-34.jpgphoto-31.jpgphoto-28.jpgphoto-33.jpg

Shumpei arrived safely on Saturday! And, when we got home he got down on one knee and said “marry me” and gave me the engagement ring featured in picture three!!! We choose it a couple of months ago but when I left Japan they were still making it- but now I can wear it everyday!!! You can`t see in the picture real well but it is a platinum ring with a white diamond and next to it is a small blue diamond. It is so pretty and I love it!

I promise a better update next time!!!

    I LOOOOOVE that last picture. Even beyond the ring, you look so happy in all the pictures! The ring is pretty, I can see it :)

    So glad Shumpei finally made it safely.

    This is a great post to make a first comment on - congratulations! You guys are utterly adorable and you’re both goofy and beaming. :)

    I’m waiting on my boyfriend to get off the plane now, too, so I understand your anxiety!

    Congratulations! We need a close-up of the ring, hehe :D

    You guys look so happy together. But I’m confused - is it on the wrong finger, or is the photo a mirror-image? Haha, I’ve been studying the photos trying to figure it out (yes I have too much time on my hands) :P

    I love the photos!!! How did you do them like that? I know I’ve said it before, but your ring is gorgeous!! Say hi to Shun for me. Oh, and Naoki said he would love to go out for dinner either the Wednesday night that he arrives in Australia or the Thursday night. We will have to plan it when I get back! Only 2 days till I leave!!

    you guys look so cute! and happy! And the ring is gorgeous - it’s such a buzz to have it on your finger, isn’ it! I got my engagement ring a month before the wedding (haha) and the day before the wedding party in Japan. I couldn’t stop looking at it for days/weeks.
    Enjoy your engagement and ring and just being together again.

    Hey Lulu!
    Gorgeous photos! You both look so happy!! And the ring looks lovely! Though agree we should see some close up piccies!

    I bet you are busy catching up with Shun but look forward to hearing more about his “Oz-coming”!!!!

    awwwwww!!! Like everybody already said..you both look so happy in the pictures and the ring is beautiful :) Congratulations! Now it’s official :)

    Enny- Thanks!!!

    Amanda- Thanks! It is kind of hard to see it in the photos but it is beautiful- trust me! hehe! It is so nice to have him here with me now!

    Kristin- I hope that your man arrived safely!!! Thanks for stopping by to comment!!

    Katie- I tried to take a close up on my camera but it just doesn`t work! hehe! I will try again on the weekend. Because we took the photos with the camera on the mac that is why they are mirror imaged- But the ring is on my left finger! I hadn`t noticed they were mirror imaged until you mentioned it!

    Nay- I will tell Shun you said hi! The Wednesday night when Naoki arrives sounds good! Thursday`s arn`t usually good for me but I could swing Thursday that week if Naoki is too tired on Wednesday. Have a safe trip- You will be with him soon! Yay! Oh and the application photobooth on my mac takes the photos- there is heaps of different backgrounds etc! It is heaps of fun! It took my profile picture too!

    TJ-in Japan- Thanks for stopping by! I read your blog all the time! We choose the ring ages ago (well it seams like ages ago!) but it is so lovely to have it now. Always hard to explain to people you are planning a wedding and are engaged because the first thing they do is look at your ring finger. I got asked constantly to “show my ring” when I didn`t have it! I think some people thought I was making it up! hehe! I do keep looking at it though!

    Mandy- I will update again soon I promise! We are picking Abbey up this weekend which will sure result in some cute picture blogging!! Shun and I have a meeting at the wedding venue on Friday too which might mean some more wedding planning blog related stuff! I will show you the ring in person when I see you next year and in the meantime if I get a good close up pic I will post it!

    Katie- We were just mucking around last night when we took the pictures. There was about 20 photos taken all together but those were the best one!! Thanks!

    Aww I’m so happy for you, so glad you got your man back ;) I’m still waiting to see mine, being separated by continents sucks! Sorry if I missed this in your earlier posts but do you know which venue you’re getting married at yet?
