rings and things


first of all, wow.

thank you sooo much to all of you who sent us their congratulations yesterday. it means so much. levi & i have worked really hard to get to this point. we love each other so much, & we are so ready to be husband & wife. it feels amazing to both of us to know that there are so many people out there who are genuinely happy for us. thank you.

second, i promise to share more details soon. it's finals week (not that i'm getting much studying done. i can't concentrate!), so when things settle down, i'll upload the rest of my photos from the day & tell you all a little story! :)

and finally, my ring!!!

i love my ring. i think it's the most beautiful, unique thing i've ever seen. i would never have been able to imagine something like it, but it is absolutely perfect for me in every way.

the back story:
as i have mentioned on here before, levi lost his mother to brain cancer when he was 19 years old. his mother, julee, was an amazing, beautiful woman with a heart of gold. levi loved her very much. right before she died, she gave levi her wedding ring. it has become his most treasured possession.

levi's dad proposed to his mom with that ring in 1973. and that's the ring that levi gave to me on monday when he asked me to be his wife.

i am so honored to wear this ring. i hope i can do it justice and become the kind of mrs. myers that julee myers was.

  45. What a beautiful ring! It’s so sweet that you are wearing Levi’s mother’s ring. The stone in the middle is still so bright! I’m sure that his mother would have been very pleased to see her ring on your finger. By simply loving Levi the way you do, you are already giving justice to that beautiful ring.
