My soon-to-be-fiance purchased my ring this weekend! I was with him because he is long distance and was in town so no way of keeping it a secret. We went to the same jewelry store for the 4th time in the past 2 months (everyone knows us there now). We went to look at a ring we liked and they received another ring that I liked even more! Usually, we look around, try it on, talk to the jewelers and then leave, but this time the manager suggested separating us so that he could answer my boyfriend's questions. They were in there for a half hour with the manager running in and out of the room, grabbing other rings, looking at them in the microscope, and running information through his computer. Finally, they let me in and my boyfriend said he was going ahead with the purchase! We are going to pick it up this weekend, but I don't know when he is going to give it to me. He still wants to sort of surprise me.
Also, he wants me to wait to tell my friends and family. I am having so much trouble keeping this to myself! Had to tell someone.
I look forward to posting here and hearing everyone else's stories.
