She picked it out herself, though - antique-look setting, white gold with an amethyst. I would have preferred the ring off the top of a can of cat food myself - it's tastier.Sparklehttp://www.sparklecat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823943460314688242.post-7009665888933967882010-12-06T20:28:27.054-05:002010-12-06T20:28:27.054-05:00At least you didn't have to pay for your own g...At least you didn't have to pay for your own gift and go buy it like I did. I must admit though the presentation was lacking. I don't think proposals (even half baked ones should be made in public). How in the world did you manage that talk on the walk? And more importantly, how did he manage to stay with you 2.5 years until he gave you the ring?Lolasdinernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823943460314688242.post-50507607090787965192010-12-06T17:47:25.096-05:002010-12-06T17:47:25.096-05:00Dude, we're bloggers.

It gave him an extra couple of years to man up and get your that diamond ring.

I think the problem was that he made it sound like an either/or kind of thing.
