Well, two months later, her fiancé asked her to pick a place for them to have dinner, and after they were done, he took her to a water garden where they actually went for their very first date.
In the garden, her fiancé took out his phone and began playing their favorite song for them to dance to.
When the song was finished, he got down on his knee and whipped out a box, that clearly held an engagement ring inside.
“The first thing I saw was that it said Zales on top of the box,” she said. “Then when he opened the box, there was sitting the complete opposite of what I wanted: a half-carat pear-shaped ring with a double halo and a ¾ pave band.”
“Now I LOVE my fiancé; he’s my best friend and I truly wouldn’t trade him for the world. HOWEVER, I definitely felt a little disappointed.”
“What happened to the communication between him and my best friend? The conversation we had during that car ride? Of course, I didn’t show the disappointment on my face, it would’ve killed him.”
She told her fiancé that she would marry him, put on the ring, and reassured herself that in another 3 or 5 years she definitely could upgrade her ring to the one of her dreams.
Later on, her fiancé revealed to a friend of his (while she was standing there) what he had spent on her engagement ring, and she was so upset to know it was basically the same price as her dream ring. She also learned that her fiancé picked out her engagement ring because he really did like it.
“7 months after the proposal, the ring has started to grow on me for sentimental reasons, but there’s still that lingering disappointing feeling in the back of my mind,” she continued.
She really does not like her ring at all, and she’s wondering if that makes her a jerk for feeling this way. What do you think? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
