Engaging Topic
Well, I received a call today from the artisan, Don, who was putting our engagement ring together. It is ready for pick up. He mentioned that we’ll get an extra 10% off tomorrow when we pick it up because he’s having a special sale for Third Friday. Yay.
While I had Don on the phone, I should have asked him if we would get an extra percentage off if Chris dressed up and proposed in the middle of the shop.
I really do not know how Chris will propose, but I do hope that he will put some thought into it. Given that I have been overly involved in the spawning of the ring, I feel a bit odd. I know about the ring, I helped pick it out and we’re using my mother’s engagement diamond in my ring. Going this route has helped to save us a lot of money and it has given me a good use for my mom’s old stone, which is almost a 1/2 carat.
Basically, I would like it Chris could pull off a better proposal than my ex-fiancé and that there will be no disco balls or disco music involved. Back when my ex proposed, we were lying in bed watching TV. He casually asked if I wanted to marry him and I replied that I would, eventually. He reached down around the foot of the bed and handed me a small box and went back to watching TV. Inside the box was an engagement ring. I think that I then asked him to do it right. He turned on one of his disco lights and started up some disco music on his computer, then got down on one knee. It really wasn’t all that special, especially considering that I hate disco music.
Anyway, Chris just has to do better than that. Well, he doesn’t /have/ to, but it would definitely be nice. I generally try not to ask for much. Due to our thrifty natures, we mutually decided not to waste any money on Valentine’s Day related frivolities. I just want a nice proposal.
