engagement

This clever boyfriend outdid himself. He managed to photobomb his girlfriend for a month, by taking engagement ring pictures, without her having any idea about it. And to make matters all the better, she ended up saying yes, when it was all said and done! Romance isn't as dead as we previously thought. 

This woman's intentions were nothing but romantically pure when she set out to buy some fancy underwear for her partner, and in the process discovered evidence of an incoming engagement ring, when she was trying to hide her own evidence. While it's a bit of a bummer on the surprise front, it's still sweet and full of love. A good old wholesome TIFU for a change. 

This guy almost found himself confronting total disaster after accidentally sending a picture of his fiancé's engagement ring to her. Fortunately, he was able to throw her off the trail with some clever maneuvering, and actually pulled off the surprise weeks later. Congrats to the dude as well, cause it looks like she said yes! Love is alive and well in this post. 

Don't go announcing your engagement at someone else's wedding or this just might happen to you. The self-important bridezilla in this scenario went and announced her wedding while she was attending her friend's! From there, the revenge was cold-hearted and plain old brutal. I'm just trying to figure out why people that hate each other this much remain friends. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of love going on between these two friends.

We've got a batch of reasonable and outright inappropriate reasons that women don't wear their wedding rings around. It's one thing if you're worried about that pretty jewelry getting damaged, but it's a whole different matter, if your motivation's rooted in appearing single to the outside world of potentially thirsty onlookers. 

Every time you've had an awkward meal, your server has totally picked up on it. And if you're lucky, they tell that story about you all the time. Also, quick tip: it's probably a good idea to not propose at Olive Garden.

This cheap bastard is in a self-inflicted free fall for the bottom of the desirability totem pole after pulling a stunt like this. I mean, dude, if you can't pool together enough funds for a damn decent engagement ring; and you're so devoid of common decency/self-awareness that you seek relief through a GoFundMe campaign --- it's time to buckle your bootstraps and get your shit together. The real wonder here is how this girl stayed with him long enough for it to get to engagement ring point: there had to have been other warning signs. 

These were especially brutal. 

Sometimes there's an answer worse than "No.".

Can you really call it true love if your life partner to be won't don the T. Rex costume to parade through the ritualistic process of engagement photos with you? Probs not, dude. This wintery dino-themed display of brilliance just reminded me that love is still very much so alive. Sure. It took a couple people dressed up in T. Rex costumes to bring that fact home, but hey, whatever works.
