This 22-year-old man just proposed to his 21-year-old fiancée last night, and she was completely caught off-guard in a good way.

His fiancée is still in nursing school for another year, and she expected him to propose closer to when she’s supposed to complete school.

He’s been dating his fiancée for 8 months now, but he really is excited to plan their wedding, as they want to walk down the aisle right after his fiancée graduates.

He and his fiancée have extensively discussed engagement rings and the actual proposal itself, and every time these topics came up, his fiancée expressed to him that she wanted to have an engagement ring with a real diamond.

“She has been adamant about a natural diamond…not lab-made, and no other stones other than diamonds,” he explained.

“She was never specific on the type of cut she wanted, carat, or anything else other than she just wanted “natural” diamonds.”

“With all of that being said, she knows I’m in the process of starting a software company and that I should be able to find something for “$1,000 or less” based on my budget.”

All throughout these discussions, he thought he definitely could purchase a nice diamond ring for $1,000.

But, when it came time to actually shop for a ring, he was shocked to find out that his budget was just not enough.

He then turned to online shopping to see if that would be cheaper, but no. Everything he came across that looked nice was three times more than what he was willing to spend.

Instead of searching for real diamonds, he then began searching for fake ones that looked real.

So, he eventually found a $20 ring on Amazon that looked perfect to him. He purchased the ring, figuring that in 5 or 10 years, he can buy a real diamond ring for his fiancée.

When he did get down on one knee and give his fiancée the ring that he bought, she adored it.

“She said it was exactly what she had dreamed of and started asking about how I found a “natural” diamond that was so flawless and clear,” he said.

He came up with some reason for her, but then his fiancée wanted to know exactly where he purchased the ring and how much he had spent.

He felt a bit blindsided by all of the questions his fiancée was throwing out there, and he’s been trying to stay on top of the lies he told her about the ring.

All evening long, she kept on asking him questions.

“To make matters worse, both of our families were present for the proposal and engagement after-party,” he continued.

“They were impressed by my budget ring as well. I think she’ll calm down with the questions after a week or so, and I really feel like the decision I made was the best option for our future from a financial standpoint.”

“If I tell her, I know she’ll be upset, but I don’t think I’ll need to since she’ll never take the ring to have the diamonds tested or anything like that. It’s not like anyone else knew the difference either!”

He’s left wondering if it was wrong of him not to own up to the fact that he bought her a fake ring.

What do you think; should he tell her the truth or just wait and see what happens?
