Well, since you've all been disgusted beyond the point of vomitting...
CCI and I had set a wedding date of Feb. 16th a couple of months ago. I've been wearing the promise ring he bought me for our first Christmas last year. I hadn't even thought about rings. I figured we would just go buy a wedding set a few weeks before the wedding. Nothing special, just something to serve the purpose. Since this is not going to be the 1st marriage for either of us, no need to go into huge debt. The bands are a symbol, in my opinion, not a trophy.
Anyway, on New Year's Day, to my total surprise, CCI and I were at a friend's house visiting for a few min. and wishing him a Happy New Year. He pulled out this box and got down on one knee. Our friend was in as much shock as I was. He decided to make calling each other "Fiance" official. So, now I have a beautiful 1/2 Kt. yellow gold solitare.
Sorry if it's too mushy, but I am so excited!!
Then, he took me out, spent $135.00 on my hair, and bought me a couple of outfits. All this, and it's only a week after Christmas.
