So I have to introduce myself and I''m sort of shy so bare with me : )
Umm I''m twenty-one and a full time biology study at USF, (yay Go Bulls!) I absolutly adore my boyfriend, he treats me like a princess. He''s a photographer for HSN (meaning his takes pictures of jewelry alllllll day long, so the pictures of my ring better rock, dang it.)
Anyway in January (2010) he came home from work sort of late.. and seemed really flustered, which is not him at all. (side note: Anthony was a US marine, and fought in the first string in fallujah, Iraq. So he''s pretty chill about everything, I guess the world looks much easier after fighting a war.. ) Anyway, he was grumpy (so not him) and frustrated all night. Finally like at 3am he woke me up and said "Kerry, will you look at rings with me.. I wanted to completely suprise you but there is A LOT involved and I have no idea what you would like to wear for the rest of your life." After freaking out for like... ten minutes I was ready to attack him I was so excited. So began our search. Oh my goodness, did anyone else start off with one idea in mind and go in a one-eighty? I did. We picked a Tacori setting that I loved <33333333333333 and looked at some diamonds but I have no idea what the final size is. I know it''s around 1ct. At smallest we looked at a .90ct and at largest a 1.45ct princess cut stones. We''ll see, hopefully soon : D
Okay so the sad part, I thought maybe Valentine''s Day (hey guys aren''t always super creative, I get some shiney and him forever regardless : ) ) Well now I''m glad that didn''t happen, because his mother died very unexpectedly on the 16th. We''re still in shock. And to make matters worst the Life Insurance Company chose to pay only 30% of the actual cost of the Catholic service. So... That cost clearly out weighed my ring, totally undertandable. I mean Tons makes a not to shabby salary but this was obviously the most important thing. I think this is one of the things I love about him, his selflessness.
I tried to convience him something small and simple ( even from Kay''s) would be fine but he insisted I would get what I really wanted, and honestly how can you argue with a man trying to buy you something sparkely?? So I guess now I''m just waiting, I know it''s paid for and sitting somewhere... I refuse to search... or so I keep telling myself. But I am still so sad. Planning a wedding with out my tiny-Spanish-(angry)-future-mother-in-law is going to be very sad.
Whooa I''m sorry this became so drawn out, I think I''ve just been holding a ton back, none of my friends really get this situation at all. Sorry to verbally unload on everyone. : ) But! I love this forum, I love reading the LIW threads, and I''m totally just bursting to see how and when he does it!
