I met my fiancee online in August-2011. We started chatting, emailing, texting, and then skyping regularly. We then made plans for me to visit her. We fell in love quickly, and so just before I went there in November, I bought an engagement ring. Shortly after I got there I asked her to marry me and gave her the ring. Then only two days later, she lost the ring. She was devastated. She was at work when she lost it. She looked everywhere, checked the bathroom waste container. Even had the maintenance person tear apart the drain. She thinks it may have gone down the toilet. I believe her sincerity and I could see she was soooo upset. She was sad that I would go back home and she had nothing. So spontaneously I took her with me that night after her work to the Gold and Diamond Souk and bought her another engagement ring. I even asked her to marry me again (so we have two engagement dates, hehe).

My question is, how do I explain this in the evidence of relationship. I mean our engagement date would be the first date, but I would also like to include the copy of receipt of the second ring since its proof of having bought it in Dubai, while I was there. Will this all sound hoaky? Should I skip the full explanation since it's too confusing?

Please let me know your opinions.

Thanks.

They don't care about your ring. A ring is not evidence of a relationship, or even an engagement.

The receipt is just fine. You don't have to go into detail.
