Joe and Patty's Engagement

2008-04-08T12:49:00.000-07:00

My name is Joe Martin and I will use this blog to propose to my girlfriend Patricia Pena marriage.
I bought a ring and I'm planing to propose once my blog will appear on Google for the term "Joe and Patty's Engagement"

I posted this blog on Digg and Stumble Upon to get your help in getting this proposal popular online. If you can help me with some romance by posting a comment it will make two people very happy(:

I already got more help from my good friend becky which I value her opinion said the blog is empty and since it will last forever I must add some more content. So I added her email:

To Patricia and Joe You share a love, that's true You're committed to one another And, one day soon, you will say "I do"Congratulations!!

Engagement is to celebrate:
Love
Commitment
Fidelity
Eternity
Honour

And especially you commitment to each other!

Out of love comes all in life that matters;
Nor can one love unless one knows one's need.
Years are walls against which passion shatters,
Opening the way for joys that bleed.
Underneath the choice of who is how,
Requiring one again each day to choose,
Embracing a forever ever now,
Not least because one fears what one might lose.
Given its immensity,
the choice Astounds,
as blind or provident as fate;
Given its beauty,
one can but rejoice,
Evangelist alight before the gate.
More than how one lives is how one loves,
Ever the terrain through which one moves,
Not shaped by fortune,
but the work of will,
Though fortune ride the wind for good or ill.

Egyptians
The now-famous wedding band is thought to have originated in Ancient Egypt, where it is said that plant sections were fashioned in to circles to signify never-ending and immortal love. It was thought that the fourth finger (which we now know as the ring finger) contained a special vein that was connected directly to the heart, and therefore this became the official finger for the wedding band.

Romans
The Romans also agreed with the Egyptians with regards to the wedding ring finger and its meaning, but rather than offering wedding bands as a symbolof love, they awarded them as a symbol of ownership. Roman men would "claim" their woman with the giving of a ring.

Asians/Arabs
Puzzle rings were a complex type of jewelry that were once popular in Asia, and these jewels had the charming knack of being able to fall apart and put back together again - if you knew how to do this, of course. Wealthy Middle Eastern men then began to use these rings as wedding bands for their wives, who were often forced to wear a puzzle ring when their husband was away. The husband would know upon his return whether anyof his wives had been disloyal by removing the ring whilst he was away, because the ring was designed to collapse upon removal and could only be put together again if you had the skill and knowledge required.

Europeans
Several centuries ago, the Europeans became rather taken with what we would class as an engagement ring, but was then called a Poesy Ring. This ring was given to a loved one as a form of promise, and signified fidelity and love. The Poesy Ring was offered as a pledge of eternal togetherness, much as today's engagement rings are offered as a promise of eternal marriage.

Americans
During Colonial times, all items of jewelry in America were prohibited due to their apparent moral worthlessness. Instead, a more practical thimble was given as a tokenof love and as a pledge of eternal togetherness. However, after they were married, the women tended to remove the bottom of their "engagement thimble" to form a type of ring.
