As far as cringe-worthily awkward declarations of undying love go... That proposal takes the cake. Worthy of an award for the Worst Proposal Ever if there ever was one.
On the way to the airport I actually felt compelled to check (3 times) if it had, in fact, just been another one his jokes. Apparently no. "Well, will there at least be a ring at some point?" I asked. "Sure," he answered, with the same half-hearted excitement that was the key part of the whole act. Oh, lucky me...
Though, I suppose it's only fair we continue our chosen path of love in the way we have done so far: in the clumsiest, silliest, most painstakingly embarrassing way. And not with creativity, finesse and flare so typical for this couple.

I guess this is as good as it's ever going to get. So, now I have. I'm officially engaged.
Now, if only I had something to show for it...
Like this little gem:
Though I probably wouldn't say no to this one either...
And for this one I'd even take his Mum to live with us.
Yet... with the current financial hardships such as him losing out on last year's bonus... Kinder surprise is probably exactly what I'll end up with.
I like the first one best. The others are a touch too ostentatious for my tastes.
ReplyDeleteI might have to agree with that one. Though after all this wait (and that crappy proposal!)) I personally would not necessarily feel inclined to turn down an entire mine full of diamonds...
ReplyDeleteMy opinion might be biased though, as I've told my Mr. that any proposal where he offers me a brand-spanking new diamond ring will most likely be met with much wiggling of the eyes and many raised eyebrows ;)
ReplyDeleteThat said, I think that 3rd solitaire would be much nicer without the diamonds on the band.
Oh, I sure hope that the eventual (?) presentation of the ring will be accompanied by a half-decent proposal that will be met with raised eyebrows- this time for all the RIGHT reasons ;-)
