I told the story of the ring earlier on WTO so you can go there if you want to know why I have an aquamarine and not a diamond (no, I wasn't born in March, ha). For the proposal: we were on a trip with my parents in Hawaii. We want to a luau one night and when I went to get Mai Tais, he asked my parents if he could ask me to marry him. I got back none the wiser (though looking back it was suspicious when my dad insisted on buying those cheesy luau pics they take when you walk in). Hours later it was just he and I laying on the beach looking at the stars and he said "I think we should look at the stars together every night." And somehow when I turned around he was on one knee with the box, and said, something like "I think we should look at the stars together every night forever." I said, "are you serious" in a high voice that he loves to mimic still today, ha. There are all kind of stories about how he didn't realize he had the ring in his pocket when we got to airport security and thought they'd ruin the surprise and then he wore his raincoat on the whole (east coast to Hawaii) flight bc he was so scared it would get lost and was in the pocket. And he gave me my aquamarine. His is plain tungsten and very him. This is the only pic I have on my phone. The band isn't here but it's just one that tucks underneath with little diamonds to match this band.

H and I met in high school. We were both the new kids to a small town. After high school we lost contact and reconnected a few years ago by huge coincidence. After dating for a while he took me out to his parents' house for dinner, which wasn't unusual. They live in our home town so he swung into the high school parking lot to reminisce. We talked about a lot of stuff but the gist was that high school was awful for him with the exception of me. He said he wanted to replace all the bad memories with good ones and had me get out of the car where he got on one knee and asked me to marry him. I guess there were never plans at his parents' because we went out to celebrate. I love my ring but it needs resized from weight gain.
Ok I'm just jealous of people with super nice nails. Damn you genetics.
I have hobbit fingers and I don't wear my ring to work because a machine may rip my hand off.
I do like my wedding ring though ;)
My hobbit fingers and I are going to join you here, madam. I wear my ring, but I'm about 5000% certain that my hairy fingers would distract everyone. ;)

H and I had been dating for almost 6 years, so I was very anxiously awaiting a proposal. I was going to school in Atlanta, and he came to visit me one weekend. Saturday morning (Feb 7, 2009) we went to a place called the Chattahoochee Nature Center. They do some animal rehab, but mostly it is just trails and ponds. We were walking on the trails watching the ducks swim. I could tell H was nervous, so I was suspicious that he was going to propose.
We sat on a bench looking at one of the ponds. H told me he loved me, and I told him I loved him too. He said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. I said "Really!?!?". He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I asked him "Are you shitting me?", and he looked confused and said no (I have no idea why I asked that...it was just the first thing that came out!). I said yes at least 20 times, and he put the ring on my finger.
I love my rings! I'm thinking about getting another band, but I'm not totally sure.

I love any excuse to AW my rings! Forgive the ugly battle wound on my knuckle.
The first time Mr. Fire asked me to marry him was just after I found out I was pregnant with M. There was no ring, no romance. We were young, broke and unexpectedly pregnant. We hadn't even been together a year. I felt like he was asking because that's what he thought he was supposed to do. I said no.
Flash forward a few years. I come home to him making a fancy pants dinner with a bouquet of my favorite flowers on the table. As we're eating, he keeps asking if I like the flowers. Going on & on about the flowers. I'm thinking "WTF with the flowers?" Finally he says "Maybe you should smell the flowers?" and as I lean in, I see my ring nestled in there. I say "What is that?!" and he shouts "FINALLY!!" then there was some romantical words and I said yes. It was very much "us."

Finally took a photo (I haven't been wearing them as much because I've gained some weight and they're tighter)!
I love my rings. My engagement ring was my mother's and my band was my grandmother's. When DH told my mom he wanted to propose she gave him the rings.
DH recreated our first date to propose. We met online and first met for coffee and a walk along this really pretty bike trail that runs along the ocean. I knew what he was recreating but I wasn't thinking he was going to propose because I was home for Thanksgiving after being abroad for 4 months so I thought he was just being sentimental from missing me. Apparently he missed me a lot because he got down on one knee! I dropped my coffee cup and started crying. It was really sweet and simple and perfect.
