Yesterday afternoon I was shopping at our local flea market (yes, I shop there...for vintage laundry signs that I hang in my laundry room)...and I saw the sweetest things ever..
I was looking at this vintage jewerly booth that had some really lovely things, including a few Tiffany engagement rings and other really special older pieces--and right next to me was this young guy. He probably wasn''t much older than 23, and somewhat awkward and slightly geeky, which made him really endearing to me for some reason. He was shopping with his Mom and I couldn''t help but overhear him telling her that he wasn''t going to "plan anything" and was going to "play it out"...his Mom was so excited, telling him not to spoil the surprise, and going on and on about how she couldn''t wait to get the call!
The guy went on to buy the most dainty diamond engagement ring, and the whole time was telling the SA about how he''d know this girl for 10 years, and although they''d only been involved for a year and a half, he loved her so much. I was just dying with fits of excitement! I wanted to give him a huge hug--which would have been highly inappropriate, so I restrained myself. But I don''t know what it was...prehaps he looked so young, or seemed so socially awkward, or was so open with his feelings for her, or maybe it was the fact that he was buying her an antique engagement ring from a flea market...but I just thought it was to cute and I was so excited for him!
I don''t really know what the point of this story was...just thought all you LIWs who think your BF''s are completely dense to notion of being engaged might find a small smile and glimmer of hope in this story...
