A Secretive Ring

Ring

Tell us about your ring, and any stories behind it.

Hmm well it's a 10K band and I'm not really sure about the diamonds. (He won't tell me) But yeah, it's a gold band with a diamond in the middle and then two smaller diamonds on either side. My mom and him both planned the engagement and the ring design and everything.

Describe the proposal! Was it a surprise? Romantic?

Well the first proposal was when me, him, his sister, her friend, my friend and her soon-to-be fiancee went out to dinner for Valentine's Day. He proposed there and then about a month or so later me and him went to our Military Ball. The DJ made him do the proposal all over again! It was amazing.

Do you love your engagement ring? Be honest!

Heck yeah!

My engagement ring was purchased at:

I honestly have no idea. He won't tell me. After he first gave me the ring, I asked him where he got it and he just looked at me and smiled and then shook his head and said he wasn't going to tell me. I tried to get him to tell me. ...It didn't work unfortunately. I was very curious

Advice

  • Don't rush him.
  • When your friend tells you they have a hunch, listen to her.
