  • I'm asking her a very important question. Introducing: Mrs Hero!

    And I already know what the answer will be!

    Before graduating college in 2007, I went to church with a young woman. At the time I didn't know her too well, but we knew each other. I graduated and we both left to do our own things. She friended me on Facebook and I accepted.

    Last May we got to talking again. Though only a long distance relationship is recent, we had been spending 9 months texting, phoning, and skyping to get to know one another. In December I made plans to fly out to see her again.

    About a month ago we started talking about marriage. We both decided that this is something we wanted. We're both in love with one another and care for each other, being there when either of us are feeling down and need a friend. She has become my best friend.

    So, I told her than when I go see her, I'm also asking the question, and she said she's going to say yes. I have the ring right here in front of me. It's a beautiful ring, though I admit not a very costly ring.

    Silence will fall when the question is popped.
    To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...

    Congratulations!

    And the cost of the ring is irrelevant in the face of love.

      Oh, I thought you were married already. Duh. Well, congrats! Maybe I should bring a boy to church with me.

          The cost of the ring isn't important - the meaning and wishes behind the giving of it are. Congratulations!

            Ring isn't important...I'd rather have a puppy.

                    Congrats!

                    And I'm sure she'll enjoy the ring. Price tag doesn't matter. Love is what matters.

                    (I actually bought my own engagement ring. I found it on eBay and had to have it. I gave it to now-Hubs and told him to use it when he was ready to pop the question, since we both knew that's where we were headed. He proposed to me on the beach a few months later.)

                      Congratz..


                      I agree.. The cost doesn't matter.. what matters in the meaning to it.. When I got engaged to the late Mrs. drunkenwildmage, the ring I got was $30 ring from Meijer (That was all I could afford at the time) but she wore it with pride, and was showed it off to everyone.

                        The ring is amazing.

                        If he ever pops the question to me, I'm getting a chain for mine to wear around my neck (I tend to fiddle like crazy and having a ring on my finger makes things worse)

                          Mr. Hero your relationship sounds a lot like how mine started. It was also a distance relationship and my wife and I had also decided to get married before the formal proposal and I also was unable to spend that much on the ring.

                          That was over 6 years ago and we are still happily married. Congratulations to you!

                            Congratulations!!! I love hearing long-distance relationships work out, as I met my husband online and we lived on different sides of different countries (Canada/USA) - we just got married in Dec after having known each other since 2000.

                            Wishing you both all the best - be sure to update us!!!
