Traditionally, an engagement ring is a must in every wedding proposal. Would you believe that I received my engagement ring after being married for 3 years? Maybe you’re wondering how it happened when every wedding proposal comes along with a stunning diamond ring. Sorry but our case is not one of those fairy tale stories.
See, we’ve been steady for 9 ½ years before we got hitched and through those years we already know that we’ll end up together. So settling down is always part of our plan, thinking how to make it happen, until we’re able to save up for our simple wedding. Engagement ring was never a need then due to financial constraint, our only concern is the wedding expenses. And to think that my fiancé then was never into or not fond of doing surprises, so I’ve never expected anything sweet or special will happen. Anyways, the wedding went fine though there are some glitches but over all it turn out well.
Few months after our wedding, I kept on teasing and asking him where the hell my engagement ring is, he’ll always answer me with a sweet smile. I used to bother him once in a while, until lately he got sick and tired of me pestering him to give me one so while we're strolling inside the mall he dragged me to a jewelry shop and ask me to choose what I want. I was really surprised, and I end up asking him if he’s indeed serious about it, well he smiled at me and said “you deserve to have one”. I was totally speechless and so ecstatic. Then I finally choose a simple 18k yellow gold with 3 -- 0.25 carat diamond stones. Expensive ring is not a must it’s the LOVE that goes with it.

I am one happy gal… As the old cliché goes “it’s better late than never”.
