Yay! Congratulations!

We didn't start with any of this till after we got married, but I can say it's certainly brought us closer together and helped us immensely with our communication. From what I've seen from y'all, I think you've got a great head start on being able to communicate well, and that's the essence of any good marriage. That and trust, another BDSM cornerstone.

In some sense, I think a ring is the ultimate form of collar.

As for giving her the ring, well....you seem pretty creative, Phoenix. I think you'll do something pretty amazing. Of course, you will probably want to do a few things that might be situations for a proposal before you actually plan to give her the ring. Heighten the tension and all that.

I wish you both much happiness.
