With This Ring I Thee...
The Love “Shack”
Friday: Chief says “Would you like to go look at rings tomorrow?”
Saturday: Forgets AGAIN. Not kidding.
Sunday: Actually takes me to look at rings of his own free will…
And it was awesome! I was so nervous when we walked in, and neither of us knew where to go or what to say. Finally a saleslady took us under her wing and began showing us the trendy micro-pave settings that I thought I wanted. The night before, Chief had told me he had an heirloom stone that he would be giving me. I almost cried! I had actually dreamed a few weeks ago that he would say that. So psychic.
The saleslady asked what size the stone was so that she could bring out a similar one to try inside the settings. “Three and a half carats,” he says.
I almost choked on thin air. “Is it a diamond?!” I ask.
“Of course it is.”
Well of course HE can keep something like that a secret from someone for two plus years! If I were a guy, that would be something I’d have thrown out on the second date. Every chic would be on her best behavior after that. But alas, I’m glad he didn’t because it was a nice surprise.
The lady brings out the three-carat demo diamond to try in the settings and just loosely sets it on top. I’m literally shaking at this point because it just hit me that I’m trying on my future wedding ring, and it’s going to be huge, and OMG he actually took me ring shopping. Well, I drop the damn stone right on the glass and it goes bounce, bounce, bounce. I thought the saleslady was going to die. Then I saw the $25K price tag and thought I was going to die.
