“The week leading up to the proposal he told me there was a package coming in the mail and not to open it. He had shown me an engagement ring earlier that month, and I legit hated it and told him it wasn’t my style, so I had a small feeling it may be a ring, which kinda freaked me out, but I thought maybe I was overreacting. Then he told me to not plan anything for that Saturday because he was planning something. Saturday came; we got in the car and started heading toward the city I used to live in, and where we started dating. When we got there he took me out to lunch at a small cafe, so I assumed he wasn’t planning anything crazy at that point.”
“We get done with lunch, go to the car, and he asked what I want to do next. I’m a little confused because he originally said he was planning something, but now he said he was planning to come to the city and do lunch and had nothing else planned. I made a comment about how it was kinda weird that he made a big deal about making surprise plans when it was just lunch in the city. He got upset over that comment, and somehow we ended up fighting, and then he pulled out the engagement ring I told him I hated. I was shocked, and he asked me to be his wife, and I didn’t say anything. I just turned on the car and drove to our apartment. We didn’t speak the whole drive home, and to this day I think it must have been a joke because it was April Fools’ Day when it all happened, but the 5K engagement ring said otherwise.”
