I think the best one I got.......
Well.... I will give some context here...
When I met my wife we were poor to say the least. We had an outside wedding.. Not really because we wanted to, but because we were broke as a joke. I asked her several times this year what she wanted this year for Christmas. I said subtle hints = don't work, strong hints = don't work, JUST SAY IT!.
She held up her left hand..... Hint taken as I had never bought her a respectable wedding ring.
I went down to many jewelers, I looked at litterally hundreds of rings. Many WAY OUT OF MY price range. I finally found one I know she would love........$7,000 +
. I pulled the reins back and refocused my jeweler. It was a like bargaining for a Sandcast Honda 750 for the cost of an Ascot
. Anyway he was able to get me into a custom ring within my price bracket. In this she also knows I did not even do this for my first wife.
I will not say how much I paid (I know she reads my posts). I will say this was many times over what I have paid for a motorcycle.
The price was not really important. What was, was the look on her face when I gave it to her (both of us in tears). I worked it through in my head many times what I would say. I got home, could not wait and had to give it to her. I got her in the other room to give it to her trying to be all excited and still be a tough guy and turn into a blubbering teary eyed fool.
It was well accepted......Her look was priceless
