Um … WHAT?!
Is this a … special ring … ?! Did London end up being a better trip than expected?

Congratulations Claire.
A gorgeous ring.
(I hope I haven’t give the game away to those without a password…)
Congratulations. It’s gorgeous. V happy for you

Vixx: The trip was fantastic: fun, relaxing, a chance to really “switch off” from all the usual cobblers. And yes, it IS special.
As I said on Flickr:
James: Thank you
And don’t worry — it’s less of a secret and more a ‘private party’. 
starrynite: Thank you! I’m happy for me too
Oh for fu … S’cuse my dumbass comment, asking the obvious. Didn’t realise my questions had been answered already — thought I HAD been logged in and read the entire post!
Edit: And your reply has popped up whilst I was writing this one. Seriously — my timing’s all out of whack today.

Oh, and lest I forget — CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! So, so happy for you both. K’s a lucky girl.

Ohhh I like the ring and congratulations on taking the next step
Vixx:
Not to worry — I was a little confused by your comment at first, but then I thought you might be phrasing things carefully because the comments are public and the post isn’t. And thank you, but I definitely think I’m the lucky one! 
Imo: Thankies
Congratulations!! Weekend away to remember
The ring’s really lovely.
Charlie: It was indeed a weekend to remember!
And, thank you 
Your hands are so dainty! Congratulations, not just because of the what the ring symbolises but also because you got an awesome looking ring!
Congratulations! I’m very happy for you and I love the ring! Beautiful and unique.
Teesee:
Tell me about it — whenever I want a ring in my size, it always has to be “special order”, it’s a right pain in the arse
Alyssa: Thank you!
