Tonight after my BF and I were leaving church services, he mentioned that he'd talked to his dad today and his dad asked about 'us.' His dad lives far away and has never been very involved in his life (parents never married which is better for both of them) and his dad is now married and has really encouraged S to consider me as marriage-material-or-not (like, if you can't see yourself with her forever, let her go, which is a sentiment I really appreciate!). So I guess S told him we were looking at 'within the next year and half,' but he thinks he dad thought he meant for getting engaged, not being married, which is what we've talked about a lot recently. So his dad gave him some ring advice!  I wasn't given the full summary, but apparently his dad told him how much he spent on a ring, that he absolutely MUST get me one because the symbolism is very powerful, but not to break the bank, AND--and this is my favorite part--to do it sooner rather than later if you're going to do it and the budget won't change with a few months. Doesn't his dad sound like a LIW?  So I said I'd looked at rings that were more in the realm of reality for the real budget, as opposed to my fantasy I'm-marrying-a-lawyer-not-a-future-teacher budget, but said I wasn't sure how they'd look on my hand, since I do most of my eye-candy shopping online. He actually suggested that we go look, so we did after having dinner. I tried on a number of very blingy things that were way out of the budget and not really my style. Note to self: 3-stone rings are definitely not for me. Then we pulled out the 1-carat asscher that so captivated me originally. The price tag is still ridiculous. The lady then pulled out a .81 asscher. To me, that cut is just so incredible that I don't think I even care that it's smaller. We looked at princess cuts and I really--no offense to anyone meant--think the brilliant cuts are a one-trick pony, compared to the step cuts which are two or three, with the sparkle and the gaze-factor. So, to make a long post shorter... I think I can have my asscher cut, just a bit smaller (probably better for a future public librarian anyway), if I can get S interested in using PS and making the purchase! Oh, and mimzy, if you're reading this, I told my BF your proposal story and he said, "That's something I would do!!" so your sweet story may someday be replicated.
