When my boyfriend and I had been dating for two years, he suggested that it was time for us to start looking at engagement rings. I was certainly not going to argue with this, but I also knew that it could be awhile before he actually popped the question.

As he is very structured and organized person, I knew that he probably already had the exact date, time and place figured out and I would never know when it was going to happen. I did agree to go and look at rings with him and we had such a good time doing this together.

While we were browsing, we both decided that we liked the solitaire rings better than the other ones. I had always wanted a solitaire and he just liked the way it looked on my finger.

He asked me to marry him a few months later and we are getting ready to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary.
