Engagement

My fiance asked me to marry him on November 29, 2008. I told him I wanted him as my fiance for Christmas but I also told him that if he can't afford the ring right now, that he should wait until he can. I wasn't expecting him to propose the day he did. It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We were relaxing at home with our little boy. I was browsing through a Modern Bride magazine I think it was. I was reading the Q&A section where a bride was saying that her grandmother didn't understand how she could be engaged without an engagement ring. I read aloud to my boyfriend the answer which was something like, ring or not, if you're planning your wedding then you're already engaged. So he says, "well that means I don't have to buy you a ring then." He was joking but I got upset because I felt like he was trying to get out of buying me a ring. I let him know that I was mad and of course he laughs it off. I stormed off upstairs to our bedroom, feelings hurt, and locked myself in. After awhile I hear him crank his car up and he tells me he's going to the store. He comes upstairs to get his wallet which I've already put in the hallway but he makes an excuse to come in the room. I let him and he pretends to look for something. Then he walks up to me and apologizes and asks if I know he loves me. I'm still upset so I say, "I guess". He says, "you guess?" Then, he proceeds to get down on one knee and starts pulling what I thought was a ring I already had out. Of course its not. Its the beautiful ring he bought me and he asks me to marry him. I'm shocked. Speechless. I say, "yes of course" and we hug and kiss and I stare at my ring wondering when he had time to go and buy it. Our then 3 month old was the first person I told. My fiance tells me that he had his older sister find the ring that fits my style and his aunt went and got it from her up in Charlotte. I was so excited and shocked even though I knew we were going to get married anyway.
