Engagement
polycounter lvl 18
So last week me and and the gal went 'ring shopping' and afterwards asked me why we hadn't gotten engaged yet. I said I hadn't thought she was ready and said I didn't think we would be engaged till years end. In reality we had been talking about it a ton and have been planning it. She got super pissed and has been mad at me all week. 3 weeks prior I bought her a ring and have had this planned since early spring.
This weekend we go to her hometown for the town festival. Saturday night as we are on our way out to the bar I tell Elena to hold on for a minute because "we need to talk" and I said it in a super serious voice. She kept getting txt messages non-stop so I had to wait till she could talk to me.
I say "how long have we been dating?"
"I dunno like a year and a half?"
"I have something really important to ask you"
"yea?"
"Do you want a gum-ball?"
"What...?"
Months prior I bought a gum-ball machine and had it set outside right before we started out for the bar. We walk over and I put in a quarter and turn knob and... nothing.
Put in another quarter and out pops the bubble with the ring in it.
"Will you marry me?"
"Are you serious? Are You Serious? ARE YOU SERIOUS? OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD"
"WELL?"
"YEA!"
So there you have the SHORT version!
And the happy couple!
