Bride told her fiance that the sentimental ring he proposed with wasn't good enough

With so much planning and preparation going into a proposal and the wedding day itself, marriage can often easily become more of a materialistic thing rather than a sentimental thing between two loved ones.
When you think of a wedding, what’s the first thing you think of? Is it a white wedding dress? Is it the horse and carriage? Is it the grand venue? Well, for one bride-to-be, the main thing she seemed to care about when proposed to by her fiance was the ring he put on her finger. She cared so much in fact that she was really not happy when she saw what ring it was.
To make it mean more to him and his fiancée, the husband-to-be thought it would be a wonderful thing to propose with a ring that meant more to him and his family than just a bit of bling sitting behind a jeweler’s glass cabinet. He wanted the proposal to be special. However, things didn’t quite go to plan when she saw what he wanted to put on her finger.

The proposal planned

After having been together for a whole decade, with a four-year-old daughter, this couple was very much in love. They wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. However, the man was yet to pop the big question.

Marriage was always on their agenda, it just simply hadn’t been the right time yet. But one day, the man decided it was definitely time. He was going to propose, and it was going to be special.

Teasing the ring

After ten years together, she knew in her heart that he was going to propose soon. He was also sending photographs of potential rings to her sister, who of course found it all too tempting to show her. She just couldn’t keep the excitement in!

To top it off, all of the ring photographs he had sent his soon-to-be sister-in-law were from Tiffany & Co, and this jeweler was her favorite. To know he was going to be proposing with a Tiffany ring made her uncontrollably excited. She couldn’t wait for him to get down on one knee.

Popping the question

The couple’s anniversary soon came about, and she had a good feeling that this was the perfect day for him to propose. They spent the evening having a lovely romantic meal at their favorite restaurant, and then came home to watch a movie. As the credits rolled, she noticed him getting a little twitchy and starting to sweat.

This was the big moment! With a gigantic smile on his face, he slipped off the sofa and got down on one knee. He opened the ring box and asked the big question: “Will you marry me?”

An unexpected surprise

Feeling a rush of emotions, she looked down at the box and gasped. She was overwhelmed, not knowing what to say or do. The ring wasn’t a Tiffany ring like she had expected… Instead, it was something that didn’t have much sparkle to it at all.

She was positively astounded about the surprise, and so happy to have a wonderful fiance, but the ring was a major disappointment. She couldn’t hide her true feelings about it either. Her frowning face said a thousand words whether she liked it or not.
