I’m Engaged!!
March 9th, 2005 - 10:43 am
Woah, it happened. I’m engaged. I tricked a girl into agreeing to put up with me permanently. Who would have thought?
A little more than two weeks ago, Dan sent me an email mentioning that he was planning on taking a trip to Chicago to see a show and hang out with a college friend. As it turns out, I had already been thinking about taking a trip to Chicago to visit the Georg Jensen store, so this was just good luck. We took a trip up there and I got to visit Natalie F., a good friend of mine from High School. Natalie and I walked all up and down Michigan Ave. looking at rings in all the designer stores, but none of them had as much style as the ring I came to look at:
The image only shows the parts that I have given her so far. It’s 18K white gold with eight diamonds on each half. Her wedding band will be an 18K yellow gold center piece that fits between the two white gold halves she already has making a single interlocked ring.
So that’s it for now. She made it back from [Capetown, South Africa](http://www.baudburn.com/mt-admin/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=130) in one piece and then we got engaged. Now we get to wait till March 17 when we find out if she gets into Vanderbilt for her residency. Send some good juju our way for that.
Congrats. I knew you could do it
The ring is gorgeous, but I already knew that 
congratulations man! that’s awesome!
best of luck on Barbara getting her residency at VU!
btw, how’s natalie doing? haven’t seen her in forever!
Oh my god. Congratulations!
HUZZAH!
Hurray hurray! Congrats, my friend! Vanderbilt has to let her in or I will write mean things about them in the paper. How’s that sound?
Congrats!!!! I am so excited for you!!! I am sending good vibes about the Vandy residence…I am sure she will get it!
Congrats on getting engaged, and best of luck on the VU situation.
Like oh my god. How did you ask her????
That is absolutely awesome man! From the beginning, I know she’s brought you great happiness and your relationship has weathered distance, jobs, education and it appears to be stronger than ever. I’ve had many friends who I’ve questioned their desire to marry… With you and Barbara, however, I have no doubts. Keep me posted.
Way to go. I’m thrilled for y’all. And a mite jealous too, but hey, good people with your kinda love should get married. So yay! yay! yay! And stuff. Congrats.
Baud,
You didn’t trick her, she tricked you. Sure, you may think you tricked her, but in a few years, your realize who tricked who. I’ll be left saying “I told you so”.
Just kidding, congrats though!

That rules! I’m so excited for you two! Now you have to tell me how you proposed and all the fun girlie stuff. (P.S. Hi Rob!)
I’ll echo my private sentiments here publically, which is to say, congratulations, and many wishes of happiness. Much love.
The whole crew down here at Chez Biltmore sends props as well…
So when’re y’all gonna visit?
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!! ::throws rice & glitter::
