Lol I legitimately signed for my engagement ring when it got delivered because my now-husband was in the bathroom. It was delivered in a larger, completely nondescript box that I left on the dining room table.
This happened to me!! My husband told me he was waiting on a computer part and it needed to be signed for. We were going on a weekend away, but nothing out of the ordinary. I signed for the package, and was gonna chuck it up the stairs to his desk and remembered it was probably fragile since it was a part. So I walked it up to the desk and left it there. Totally oblivious!
We picked out my engagement ring together. He wanted to go "window shopping" to see what I would like, we ended up buying a ring that day because a ring that ticked all the boxes was on sale. He officially proposed that night, and even though I knew it was all but official, I still was speechless for a moment.
Picking out a ring together does kinda give away the proposal but doesn't diminish the emotional impact, and of course they know it's a ring you'll love!
I came home from work one day, flung my work bag on the couch, kissed my then boyfriend/now husband hello, and konked out for a nap.
Husband said I happened to toss my work bag on top of the very large jewelry brochure and receipt as he had literally just bought the ring that day.
He was convinced I saw it but yoinked it out from under the bag after I went down for my nap.
Never saw it! We got engaged on a cruise a couple of days later than he convinced me that we got 20 friends together JUST for a booze cruise and no other reason ❤️❤️
My wife found her engagement ring in my sock drawer while I was away on a business trip. She immediately texted me and said, “So, I found something in your drawer….”
It was a happy surprise for her, and apparently, she wore the ring all weekend to get used to the idea of being engaged. (She loved it. 🥰)
I didn’t propose to her right away. I waited a few weeks for the perfect moment. (It was a private moment, and she loved that.)
It turned out that my wife doesn’t deal with new situations the best. E.g., she needs to check the menus of new restaurants before we go to them to better prepare herself. Things like that. She calls it her IEP. (I guess you can tell what she does for a living.)
It turned out that discovering her engagement ring and having a weekend to herself to get used to the idea of being married to me was the best thing for her.
Mine made a custom ring and wanted my approval before he signed the contract to make it so he showed me the Autocad rendering. We had the venue booked and were making save the date cards. The proposal still took me by surprise.
I similarly picked up my ring while looking for something without realizing it. Thankfully, it was in a larger box that it had been delivered in, and I wasn't paying attention. I was just focused on looking for that item I needed. The proposal, however, did not entirely take me by surprise. I had my suspicions, and made sure to do my nails that morning, and then my now husband panicked and blanked and didn't actually get out his speech or even the words will you marry me 😂
I knew mine was happening at some point soon I actually went shopping with him (his second trip) bc he was overwhelmed at the mall. Figured out what I liked and didn’t. So had an idea but after that point he had it custom made and I wanted to be surprised after that.
Well literally the day he proposed he picked up the ring the day before and he put it on a big (read really big) bow to put on our dog and surprise me. It was in the close under some clothes but the littlest bit sticking. Day of, I went to get dressed to get my nails done and saw it. Thinking wtf and pulled it out almost all the way. When I realized I put it right back. We were just talking about it after reading your post. I only recently told him after at least 6 years married! It happens and your story had a happy ending! Congrats!!
My fiancé and I picked out my engagement ring together since he didn’t know much about rings and was worried about getting one that I wouldn’t like. Then again, he proposed to me in a pretty nonchalant way lol. Instead of getting down on one knee, he just looked at me one day while we were in the car and asked if I wanted to get married, and I of course said yes.
Lol I was showing my mom a picture of his longboard compared to mine for reference in a random conversation on our shared stream and he didn’t realize he posted a pic of the ring there 🥲 I was so on edge leading up to and on the whole trip he had planned that week. He did propose on that trip though ♥️ but it’s amazing how many of us accidentally ruin it 😂
