SHE was 19. Lived with her parents. Worked at, what I am sure was, the worlds smallest Wal-mart. Had been home schooled from K-12th grade. Had never had a serious dating relationship.
HE was three weeks shy of his 28th birthday. Had traveled the US. Was an over the road truck driver. Was not new to relationships.
THEY had only been dating for 6 weeks.
SHE thought they were "just looking" at rings.
HE had eaten only macaroni and cheese for a few weeks so that he could save up every penny to buy HER a diamond ring.
SHE saw the one she wanted, but pointed out a different one to him - a much cheaper one.
HE saw the way she looked at the one SHE really wanted and said he was going to buy it.
SHE thought he would save it for a later date.
HE led her over to a gazebo across the road from the jewelry store, got down on one knee, and asked if SHE would be his wife.
SHE answered him (affirmative) before HE was done asking.
The rest, as they say, is history.
And surprisingly, he still likes mac 'n cheese.

Again, check it out for yourself www.reDrillSergeant.com . And I heard him Preach in Orlando and WOW!!! Stay Blessed...
SO adorable! Mine was similar. We went "looking" at rings, I had an idea of what I'd like until I saw the prices! He had an idea of what he wanted to give me. When I found out what he'd chosen I went back later and DOWN sized! YES! Down sized! My ring is a symbol not calling card to get mugged! LOL
Isn't it wonderful how vivid those memories are, when there are days I can't even remember if I took my allergy meds that day or find my keys but I could tell you every second of that day!?
