Ok so, this afternoon I talked to my oldest friend. We were best friends from third grade on, and have still continued to keep in touch, and I really do love her dearly. She and her now fiance have been together just a few months less than my bf and I. They got engaged right before Christmas, and I was so happy for her that I felt like it was me who got engaged. When I saw her at Christmas time, she made a comment about how much her bf spent on the ring, and asked how much we were going to spend (she knew we had been talking about it)... What we had talked about at the time was just slightly more than what he had spent, which certainly wasn''t shabby (she got a 2ct princess)!!
Long story short, when I talked to her today she asked how things were going as far as an engagement. So I told her the diamond had been bought, and was with an amazing desgner in NYC being set. She asked how big it was, which I thik is a standard question, but bc I am still a little uncomfortable with saying, I just told her it was big. (I think anything over 2cts is big). But she did eventually ask again, and I felt strange dodging the question a second time, so I told her. Then get this, she went as far as to ask how much it was!!!!
Now I am not normally shy about these things, but this is different bc it is a gift to me from the person I love, and it is not about the money spent, but about the meaning behind it.
Just curious if anyone else has had this question thrown at them from close friends or strangers....How did you handle it???...
