Howdy! We wanted to kick off our blog by sharing the news of our recent engagement. On my birthday (New Year's Eve, and yes, worst day to have as a birthday EVER, easily beating out Christmas and Leap Day), as we walked along Sonoma's beautiful Russian River, Cody stopped and pulled out a package wrapped in red tissue paper. I unwrapped it to find a stunning brass steampunk-esque music box that he built by hand, wrought with gears and bearing the sigil of Artemis the Huntress and her faithful hound.
As I was already dying from the loveliness, imagine my total shock when Cody wound it up, sank to one knee, and opened it. Inside was a delicate antique cameo ring (from 1860, I later learned). The song that played and the words that were spoken are precious and ours alone, but we are more than happy to share a few visuals :).
Now, if we can only figure out a graceful way to stage the Fire Wedding from Krull ;)...
