The things you find out when you can't sleep []
Boy does not take long for Wikipedia to get laoded.
Has taken them long enough.
1 Border collie, 1 Huntaway, 2 Lhasa Apsos, Suffolk and arapawa ewe crosses, an Arapawa ram,an East Friesian ewe , 5 cats, 42 ducks , 1 rooster and 30 hens, 5 geese, 12 goats, 2 donkeys, 2 house cows, one heifer calf, one bull calf, 3 rabbits and lots and lots and lots of fruit trees...
I think they waited this long so as not to make the mistakes his parents did. They know each other very well, and there is none of the same stiffness of an "arranged" marriage.
Congratulations to them both.. different circumstances leading up to this engagement
The engagement ring is a lovely touch and shows the love and affection he had for Diana..Bless em I say!!!!
Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not Happy. []
3 Beef Roasts and Mince 40 Chicken Roasts and Omelettes
25 Pigeon Pies left after Falcon dined out,. 5 pheasants
plus 3 pig dogs
I'd have to agree with igor and witheze. I was surprised he'd given her Diana's ring because I think it's incredibly bad karma.
I understand how close he was to his mum, and the thought is nice, but with all that surrounds Diana, I wouldn't have used Diana's engagement ring as the engagement ring for my fiancee, even another of Diana's rings may have been a better choice, and given Diana's engagement ring later.
Anyway, it is about time, and hopefully they'll have a good life together.
eemm i have to agree.. the ring thing is a little creepy.. maybe as a gift yes, but as THE engagement ring.. nah.. Katie should have had her own ring from william... she could wear the saffire number on the other hand if william wants a reminder of his mum there on the day
Hope they have a long and happy life together, maybe they like us don't believe in superstition and it is just a family ring. Great news and good to have happy news for a change untill the press mucks it up
Whatever ring she picked (or he) it was always going to be compared to Di's ring so they might as well get on with it, use her ring (I wear my grandmother in law's engagement ring as mine when I go out and she hasn't haunted me yet) in these tough economic times (be seen to be recycling) and get on with it as everyone has expected them to do so.
Good luck to them, but let's not have the media circus where the slightest detail overtakes proper (is there any?) news.

That would have been very poor form since she was already married "back then"
I believe that Kate will be well aware that she will marry an "establishment" but she is obviously a good choice for William, since their relationship has stood the time test pretty well. Good luck to them both. They ought to be able to breed some good looks into the royal family at least.........[}] Unless of course any issue inherit Charles' ears, and the DoE's unfortunate affliction of his foot in his mouth. As for Karma, well the 30,000 Eng. pound price tag ought to go a long way to fixing that.
Did you know, that what you thought I said, was not what I meant :S
Can't help but saying (because I know it was probably a bit tongue in cheek) about the 30,000 price tag - I just have to remind myself constantly - that money doesn't solve everything, nor buy happiness []
