Awwww what a sweet story as well!  <3 

Hehe, yeah Scott and I kind of got in silent agreement about engagement, so him proposing was ACTUALLY not necessary. And i never wanted him to kneel, because we'd both feel so awkward hahaha.

But the way we got pre-engaged-plus-plus-uber-plus was actually funny:

He told me he had to leave Germany on a Saturday night, and I broke down crying, because we had so much hope he can stay. 
So the next day we went to a day trip to a historical king thingie here, and on the way we stopped at a rest station. Our ritual as long as he was here was getting each other a kinder egg from every gas station we stop. 
So I opened mine, and it had a little blue bunny inside... and a little yellow ring with a butterfly. I started giggling and said, dang you did good on that one: YES I DO!
And we laughed, but the look at each other told what to do. <3 
I have that little yellow ring laying here right in front of me all the time. 

So then he couldn't re-ask properly, because of the parents, and once it got close for him to leave they loosened the rule, but then it'd been a hurry. 
So after the parents meeting I was wondering if he will ever ask right lol 
And on the 2nd last day of my stay, we were coming from meeting his friends... on a crossing.
And he said: "Over there is a giant ring store. Do you want to go there with me?" "Yes, I do!"
Haha 1 hour and 1500$ later I was smiling like a retard and in desperate need of a pizza lol 

Awww thats so sweet. 1500 dollars whoa.

 

My fiance asked me when we were at our first meeting in person a day after I got there. We were on the couch in the hotel room cuddling and chatting and he said Becca will you marry me? I looked at him stunned and he stuttered and said I don't have a ring yet I don't know your size and I should have a ring and....I said YES YES YES! I knew the moment we met in person that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. However we waited to be officially engaged which was a good thing. He already had tickets to come see me the end of February 2017 and my Mum told me thats too soon that makes things seem too sudden. I looked at her and said oh ok then I will fly down and be with him before then. 3 weeks later I flew down to Colorado and the first night I was there we went ring shopping. My ring is simple and only cost $300 and even at that I think its extravagant. lol I am a plain girl. The next day we went walking at Garden of the Gods and in a little rock alcove he looked at me and brought out the ring and said Will you really Marry me now! I giggled and said YES YES YES! I told my Mum after I got back and she cried. lol

Blegh, and while swimming in memories my timeline moved 2 days in the wrong direction.
June 29th - July 4th... which is a holiday. Grrrraaahhhhrrrrr

They better hurry up - I have no closets anymore and am sitting in chaos! 

I wouldn't hold much to the timeline thing considering lots of people don't even fill that out which drives me bonkers and so many forget to put their dates in etc. So it is not really accurate as far as I can tell. Yeah it just gives you an idea perhaps. I think we will see some movement this week in the right direction.

Yeah, I'm glad he didn't do what is typical in the States and buy such a monstrous hyper expensive ring for me (3 monthly wages for an engagement ring is the unwritten rule there I heard about). Glad I could go help choosing. This one already was too expensive.
He didn't have my ring size either. He knew my european one, but since it's so different, he got lost and was helpless hahaha 

Such a cute story! <3 <3

Haha yeah, we're such weirdos! <3 

I mean... I was like. Damnit, will he ever do it????
We were in a park in DC - nothing. We were alone at the ocean... I even drew S+S in a heart in the sand... nothing lol 

And afterwards he said he wanted to ask the night before on the couch, but I had my sentimental day and was whiny as hell, so I screwed it lol

I pray to the seven gods of Westeros that you are right!

Why can't people edit their timeline right. Everybody wants information, but opposite they don't keep their stuff accurate. My German accurately working heart is aching over that lol

I know thats insane if my fiance did that it would be like a nearly 10k ring. I DONT THINK SO. I am scared enough something is going to happen to this one. lol My stepsister Ali used to be a materialistic girl and when her and her bf at the time were talking about engagement she told him she would not settle for anything less than a 10k ring. He dumped her. LOL Which was good he was too nice for her anyway.

Beautiful story! ❤❤❤ 

as long as the love is there, as long as you'll both stick to each other for better or for worse, it doesn't really matter how much the ring costs at all 😊 as long as the sincerity is there, too.. That's why there's a saying, "It's a thought that counts" 😊😊

 

We're just the same.. I'm also a plain girl that's why he got me a simple ring, too ❤

Yeah, I heard stories like that too.... unbelievable, such a behavior.

We were there, found that, looked really nice (white gold with 10 diamonds around), the price was very ok (for him - heart attack for me), so we got it, and I'm really happy with it.

Same here. I'd have been fine with something from the bubble gum machine... I'm too less a girl (I'm heavy metal ), I'm too used to be broke lol , and I don't care for fancy things.
Only thing "valuable" I own is my beloved iMac. That's enough.

Hahahahhaa! I laughed when you said he dumped her😄 I never asked how much my ring costs.. Because I'll feel so much guilt if I'll learn it's expensive.. He doesn't want to tell me either because he know me.. What's important is that they made an effort to choose what will look good for us and what they think we will love 😊

Funny thing is my ring looks like it cost more. Its an amethyst ring which is not my birthstone but is my favourite colour purple.  Oh here why not just show a picture of it.

When i told him "I hope you didn't pay much for this" when he said it's a platinum ring, and it has one diamond, he answered me, "It's a reasonable price." That's the time I don't even want to know how much it costs. 

 

You're right, for him the price was very ok, heart attack for me also. 😂😂
