My BF bought the stone before the holidays and I bought the ring a few weeks ago. We took it into the jeweler''s to get a new head and we were waiting to hear back to take the stone in. Last week I found out my Aunt died and I went out of town with my parents to attend the funeral. While I was away, my BF took in the stone and got the ring back.

He managed to surprise me when I got back. I knew the ring was at the jewelers, but I thought it would take another week or so to hear back. We weren''t planning on a big proposal, but I''m so glad he managed to catch me off guard! We were both getting dressed and he was in his underwear

He was keeping the ring in his sock drawer so I didn''t think anything of it, and then he turned around and in a kind of silly way he asked me, "Do you still love me and want to spend the rest of your life with me?" We do this a lot, so I still wasn''t catching on, but then he brought out the box and I was so giddy! I think I went around squealing with glee for a full half hour or so.

The ring is pretty simple, but I like it that way. It''s a lot like our relationship. We both have been through a lot, but together we''ve learned to really appreciate a lot of the simple things in life. The stone is .41 ct, G, VVS1. The band is 14k white gold cathedral, but the head is a platinum v-prong. I absolutely adore it, and I can''t stop looking at it!

What a great proposal story. Genuine and fun and uncontrived and all that good stuff. And your ring is lovely too - I''d be looking at it all the time too.

Congratulations!
 
Congratulations! Hehe, I love that he was in his undies, that''s really cute (not that HE is cute in his undies, I''ve never seen so I wouldn''t know

First of all - CONGRATS!!

And second - That ring, in my opinion, is FAR from simple!! I love it!! I think it is so classically beautiful in a modern form. I think it is truly lovely!!

I wonder if this is a guy thing...I had a "sock drawer proposal," too! Although we were both dressed at the time

Congratulations--lovely ring!
 
Yay! Congrats! And what size is the ring by the way? That looks way bigger than .41.
 
Thanks everyone! I don''t know that I would have survived without all the support and resources on this board!

The ring is a size 5, but it''s a little big so I may have it sized down 1/4 size or so. I told my BF that he''s lucky I have small hands, so I could get by with something a little smaller

I think the corner prongs do a good job of making it appear a little fuller than it is. I''ve posted some more pictures in a show me the ring thread.

Cheers!

Congratulations Tuesday! What a cute proposal story and a lovely, classic ring!
 
YAY! Congratulations! I love simple proposal stories. Unfussy, and so intimate. FI proposed to me while I was trying on a dress for an uncle''s funeral (coincidentally) and I had the dress hiked up to my waist when he pulled up the ring.
