Wow, shucks, thanks everyone! *blush*
How time flies! Yes, it was only January, but neither of us feel a need to wait longer.
Re: the date. We're looking at February because we want to go on a Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon, so that limit it to Jan-April. But if we want to do that and then leave immediately for the honeymoon, then we pretty much have to get married on a Friday, which is good because it will save money.
I suggested Feb. 29 because it's a Leap Year, but he vetoed that, so possibly Feb. 22. Then our anniversary will be 2/22. That's pretty cool, too. But I haven't spoken to the church yet, so it will depend.
Re: the ring. It's beautiful! So beautiful! A three-stone ring with stones and beautiful edging (dunno what it's called) on the sides. I'll have to take a picture and post it.
Re: the bike. He owns a mountain bike, courtesy of AllezGirl. He rides that thing all the time. I'm working on getting him into road cycling, but he doesn't dig how much it costs. But we go biking generally once a week together and now he says maybe he'll even do a triathlon someday! (He says he's doing my next 5K with me, but we haven't picked a race.)

OTG,
I am so happy for you. A cruise sounds nice. I like the idea of 2/22. :) Your ring sounds gorgeous, please share a picture when you get a chance.

Re the date, I think there are times you just know. We did. I didn't even believe in just "knowing"! I think there's a difference, too, between meeting someone and immediately eloping and meeting someone and working toward a common goal.
There are tons of ways to lessen the costs of a wedding :D We actually got married on a restored 1930's ferry. Instead of a wedding cake, we had gourmet cupcakes...instead of champagne, we toasted tequila (er, champagne would've been cheaper actually!). We had a harpist for the ceremony/early reception then we made CD's for dancing and socializing. I am sure you will have so much fun looking around and enjoy the food/frosting tasting :D
I really can't wait to see a picture of your ring!!!
