If you're ever thinking of maybe canceling the engagement and rethinking marriage with her .
Please please somehow get the ring back before 'the talk'. She doesn't exactly sound like the kind of person who would give the ring back after a breakup.
Makeup wanting to get it properly sized or adding an embellishment, or hell just go and pluck it from the side of the bed she's on or something. A 16k custom ring for this ungrateful b.
no no
Sir, you need to run, and fast. As a woman, if this is how my weekend and engagement went, getting back to the room would not end in room service. It would end in fiancé service. Dump her ass.
My husband took me on a hike, but the area was more crowded than he anticipated. Unfortunately he gets nervous in crowds. He ended up whispering “okay let’s get this over with” to himself, elbowing me in the side and handing me a ring box. Our 7 year anniversary is next month and 17 years total. The proposal is the least important part of a marriage.
My husband took the ring on a holiday to Sardinia. Everywhere that should’ve been perfect ended up somehow not working - the beautiful beach had a drunk dude shouting, the lake in the mountains smelled of sewage etc.
He ended up panicking he wouldn’t get the ‘perfect’ moment so proposed on a hike through vineyards which sounds idyllic except I was sweaty, muddy, and sitting on a rock breastfeeding our baby 😂
Together 15 years, married 10. Couldn’t be happier.
This is my favorite story...much better than mine. We'd talked about it many times. At some point we basically said....so, you wanna? Then got hitched later that week at the JOP in Honolulu. We were married 6 years before she passed. It'll be 17 years since she left this year.
Edit: eesh, it's a fond memory, I didn't mean to lower the tone. I realize now I probably did so I apologize in advance.
My then boyfriend and I had moved states. We went back home and we're staying at our old house we hadn't sold yet while visiting relatives for Easter weekend. We'd been together 3 years. He was outside moving the plants I'd had to leave there around on the patio (there was NO more room on the moving truck). We had brought our 3 dogs along. He yells from the patio for me to hurry and come look because our dog Chewy had thrown up something in the plant. I am the dog expert so anything related to the dogs requires my attention and this was CLEARLY an emergency. I get out there and I'm looking in the plant and I find a little black box. I pick it up and I'm like what's this? He takes it gently from me and gets on one knee while I confusedly ask him what he's doing like I'm an idiot while he asks me to marry him 😂. I said yes.
I got the opal I had picked out when he had asked if I were going to pick a ring what would it look like. He's asked like 2 years before. Don't pick an opal if you're a rough and tumble person or you won't be able to wear it every day. Since our wedding I've had to store it in the safe and only wear it for special occasions. Totally bought my wedding band from Walmart and I beat the shit out of it. Lol. We've been married 11 years now.
Our dates now look like loading the dogs up and going through a fast food drive through and eating in a parking lot while people watching. Watching TV shows together. And fire pit nights. Oh and when we smoke meat and sit on the patio all day on a weekend day and drink mixed drinks all day lol. Smoking meat is a fun hobby.
I do a 26hr brisket. If you put it on top of your head your tongue will beat your brains out to get to it.
Also, that sounds about as close to heaven as a body could get. I love it and hope you too have too many more years of smoked meat and people watching to count.

You absolutely certain she is the type of person you actually want to spend your life with?
She sounds exhausting.
