First of all, let me say that we had already started
talking about marriage, but the subject generally only came up after drinking a
bottle of wine or two, if you know what I’m saying.
After living with Mr. PF for over two years, I was headed
to grad school. This was during the
recession. He had a great job, but I had
no job, and he had no prospects near the school I was going to. So our relationship became
long-distance. It was very difficult,
but it was the best decision we could have made for our future.
In the summer
before school started, I couldn’t help myself from perusing photos of
engagement rings online. I collected a
few pictures of my favorites and saved them in a folder on the desktop of his
computer. I labeled the folder ‘Top
Secret,’ hoping the name would entice him to see what was inside while I was
away at school. I also included a little
notepad document that gave him my ring size!
Passive-aggressive much?
It turns out that he didn’t notice the folder until over
a year later! At that point, he was
already looking at rings himself, and had his eye on the perfect one, the one
he proposed with a few months later. He
actually designed it himself on bluenile.com.
At least my folder helped him with the sizing. =)
This is the ring he designed for me, more beautiful than I ever imagined it would be:
Did anyone else try to plant the marriage/engagement ring
seed in their S.O.’s head? What did you do, and did it work?
