I have been with my partner for over a year. Knew him for 5months before officially dating. And like any serious couple we've talked about marriage. He shared with me that he would love to marry me.I recall one day while I was in his car he mentioned for the millionth time that he needed to save and I asked for what. He started to blush and didn't want to talk about it anymore. I wouldn't let him leave unless he told me so he finally said for a ring. He asked me if I would choose my ring like his ex and I said no (his ex who he was engaged to chose her ring but after he bought it for her she took the package, didn't wait for him to propose properly and said she didn't like the ring after a few weeks. She went ahead and purchased another ring with his money without telling him and claimed that she did not like the first one). Knowing that story I wanted him to feel good about himself and his choice. I told him I'd be happy with any ring really but he said he wanted some direction so that he doesn't mess up. I finally told him that I would love a ring with a stone that is the color or similar color of his eyes (he has gorgeous blue eyes that sometimes look greenish grey). I said that way whenever I look down and see the ring I will remember him (not that I'll ever forget him) and smile throughout the day. A few weeks later he send me pictures of different rings with two of them carrying blue stones. He said to choose my favorite so I chose this one;
