Ring Description

.50 ct diamond engagement ring size isn't what counts, its the thought behind it.

The proposal

My boyfriend (now fiance) of a year and a month had discussed getting married with me a few times. We met at work, spent almost every day together, outside of work, traded messages and gifts on facebook, called and left messages all kinds of things like that. I know that he had been looking at engagement rings, but figured he may buy it now, but I probably won't get it for a while, because he had just purchased a very pretty promise ring for me as an anniversary gift. So one night at work, ( we work at walmart) we were taking our last break and I went to go into his pants pocket to grab a lipgloss that he had been holding for me and I found a box. I flipped out and got really embarassed. He didn't ask, merely moved the box and didn't say anything. At that point I thought I had blown it. He wasn't going to ask and we were going to break up. The next few days, he acted as if nothing had happened, and I was on edge every day. Finally at work, I just couldn't take it anymore and while we were on break started to argue. He seemed very upset that I had sneaked down to see him and was almost in tears. We were bickering as we were headed out to the lounge area when he stopped by the paint booth, by a phone. I was like "Oh come on already, I'm tired I want to go sit down and put my feet up." He said " Just wait a minute." Then he picked up the phone and clicked on the PA. He said. "Attention walmart customers and associates this is Matt from L+G and today I have a very important question to ask Miss Jennifer Lynn." Then he got down on one knee, still holding the phone, pulled out the ring, and asked "Will you marry me?" He handed me the phone I looked at it, just kind of in shock and then gulped and said Yes! I hung up the phone and alot of people started paging their congratulations and our managers stopped and offered their congrats etc. And then a customer approached us and asked if it was us. We replied yes and she was like that's so romantic. Now where can I find toilet seats? --I have had 3 engagement rings now, because the one he proposed with a stone fell out and then one of the prongs broke. We sent it to be fixed and got it back and I had it on for maybe five minutes and the same stone fell out again. So we returned it. He got me another one, a cz (which I didn't mind, because I knew we didn't have money at the time and it was just a hold over) which everyone loved. Finally this past june, right around my 21st birthday we went to Kays and picked up the ring pictured here. I love it, its very sparkly and pretty. For christmas we have an enhancer picked out and it really makes the whole thing worthwhile. I don't care that its only a half a carat, because he matters so much more than my ring. He offered to upgrade, and we have the option to, but I'm not sure if I ever will actually do it, because I love my ring so much. (wow i really rambled, sorry bout that)
