About a month ago . . . But was too superstitious to post my story!
My fiance and I had pretty much decided to get married very early this year. However, he went on an extended quest for the perfect ring. Once he finally got it, then he had to come up with a special way to give it to me, so finally, last month, all of the planets aligned and he proposed.
He booked a beautiful room in a very old bed and breakfast in St. Augustine, Florida. We had an amazing dinner, a very romantic evening altogether, he asked me if we could go out on the balcony, and as I walk out with him thinking THIS IS IT, we look over only to realize that our private balcony is actually shared with the next room, and there are two large men without shirts drinking beer and smoking about two feet away from us. Screeching halt to proposal.
We go inside where he decides, oh well, I guess it''s going to be in the hotel room, drops to his knee, says all the wonderful romantic things, yada yada yada, I say yes, he goes to put my ring on, and it''s too small. Way too small. Will not go on my finger. I am at this point tipsy and pretty determined to wear the ring so I shove it on like nobody''s business. My finger immediately swells and turns purple. He begs me to take it off so that he doesn''t have to take me to the emergency room to get it cut off, I begrudgingly use soap to remove it, and that was my engagement!
The size issue was just a misunderstanding and Mark at ERD got it fixed for us right away. The delay was that I was simply not willing to send it back, so I wore it on my pinky until I could let go of it. Just got it back and it''s on my ring finger, so I thought it was finally safe to post!
If you are interested in seeing my ring, I have a thread over in SMTR.
