Photos of my engagement ring / Maui, Hawaii

Thought I'd post engagement/ring photos... although, I'm sure you've seen some of these photos.

Taken by Niki at CB & Rush's wedding early this month

Taken by the window in our front yard

Close-up of my new/upgraded ring, a Platinum Princess cut diamond.. the only difference is that it has the diamonds on each side. See below for more details.

Taken the day we went snorkeling/snuba... this one is my favorite!

These two pictures above are the original ring that Steve gave me when we were in Maui-- but he said I could upgrade it if I wanted to. Of course, at first I said no because I didn't want to change the ring since it was all him who picked it out.. but when we went to the jewelry store to resize the ring and I was so tempted. He just smiled and said go ahead and take a different one! It took me nearly 2 hours to finally decide after looking at different rings and just decided to stick with the original look expect that there were more additional diamonds on the side. Right now my current ring has the original ring's distinct look to it... I'm very happy with the result! :)

Funny, Michie say to me "Remember the rainbow," when she and George were dropping me off at the restaurant. Of course, I had NO idea what she meant... now I am grateful she said that to me. Thanks, girl! Mwahs!

At Pacific'o, a fairly expensive restaurant, in Lahaina. We decided to make a dinner reservation there after reading that it's one of the best restaurants in West Maui and was the only beachfront one.

Steve's meal was Pink-peppered steak - he said it's really delicious! I had a bite so I gotta agree with him.

For dinner, I had fresh hapi-hapi wrapped in seaweed with tempuras... it wasn't bad.

Beautiful cruise off the sea

Three-men rowing in the canoe

Banana lumpia as well as banana ice cream for dessert. Yummy!

Tiki in the gorgeous sky

Beautiful sunset

I was definitely overhappy!

Steven must be so relieved that I said yes...? :)

The site where Steven proposed!

Ok, so what happened...?

After being full with food in our stomachs so Steve picked up the bill, he then said he wanted to go for a stroll on the beach so I was like - oh okay, why not? But before we actually got to the beach... I saw these nice homemade Hawaiian stuff on the pathway and before I could look at these, Steve just tapped me on my shoulders and when I turned around - he just kneeled down with the red ring box and inside was a beautiful Platinum princess cut diamond ring and signed to me, "Will you marry me?" I was very surprised and I even said "Are you teasing me?!" He said no, no and asked me to marry him for second time. God, what was I thinking?! Of course, I said yes yes... and we continued to stroll across the beach as we wanted some privacy and just stood there kissing and hugging under the moonlight bit far away from the restaurant.

It was such a romantic night and I was really on a cloud nine the whole night. ;)
