Now that Dustin Lance Black and Tom Daley have said "yes" to each other, we want to see the bling!

The Olympic diver, 21, and the Oscar-winning Milk screenwriter, 41, released heartfelt photos of their matching engagement rings on their Instagram accounts Friday.

The matching photos reveal matching rings—simple thick bands with a single stone in the middle of each. They were propped up against an crucial background—their discreet engagement announcement from the birth, marriages, and death section of the The Times' Thursday edition. 

Black and Daley, who recently moved in together in London in May, expressed their sincere gratitude for all of the support they have received since their announcement of their impending nuptials. 

"Thank you so much for all of the kind words and well wishes. Dream come true," Black captioned the black and white photo. "#IsaidYES then #HeSaidYes"

Daley echoed his soon-to-be husband's post using the same photo and similar sentiment on his account. "#HeSaidYES and then #ISaidYES Thanks for all the lovely messages!"

The happy pair have big plans following their wedding. Daley revealed in June that he also plans on starting a family. "I would like to get married. Of course, I'd like to have children, too," he told BuzzFeed, adding, "I grew up with two brothers, so I'd like to have at least three."

So, when exactly is the big day? While the couple hasn't announced an official date, Daley's mother Debbie Daley told The Telegraph that the pair will wait until after her son's appears in the 2016 Olympic games in Rio.

"When Tom told me I could just feel the excitement in his voice," Daley's mother said. "Just hearing him feel that excitement made me feel excited."

Like many others, she also can't wait for the two to tie the knot, joking, "Everyone gets on really with [Black], even though he is American, but there we go. "

"I am not sad because in losing Tom I am gaining another, so it makes everything all good," she added.
