Tonight I picked out an Engagement Ring

[Savage Kitten]

When I got off work at midnight tonight my only plans were to go by WalMart for a few groceries and to get my girls and go home. Little did I know that I'd be picking out an engagement ring.

As I passed by the jewerly department on my way to pay for my stuff, at about 1:30am, a gentleman standing there told me I was just the person he needed to see. I looked back over my shoulder but I was the only person standing there. I said Me?? He said 'Yeah, you're perfect.'

He proceeded to tell me that he needed to get a ring for this girl who was abt 5'3" 105lb dark skin and curly brown hair. I smiled, a bit amused, trying not to chuckle I asked him "and this girl is..... a relative?" He said, "No, I am going to ask her to marry me and I have no idea what kind of ring to get her. I was hoping you would help me pick one out."

Being as honest as I could I told him that not everyone has the same tastes and personally I like solitaires over clusters. He said he agreed. So we were looking at the rings together, it was so sweet. He was worried that the diamond sat too high on one ring, didn't want her scratching herself. Worried that the band was too thick for her petite finger, on another. After a few minutes we had narrowed it down to two of them. I told him to really be able to make the decision he would have to hold them side by side.

As we waited for a cashier to bring the key, I congratulated him and wished him luck, and left with a full heart.

I hope whom ever she is, where ever she is, that she accepts his proposal and that they are very happy together.

I can't help but wonder what significance this expierence has for me though, if any.

*warm smiles*

Psyche, Kitten!

I thought for sure from your thread title that you meant you were engaged ... ha ha ..

I was all ready to congratulate you ... was thinking how I would try to say it in some kind of clever "kitty" way ... lol ..

Now you did that on purpose ... you naughty Kitten with a Whip, you!

Hey after checking out your fabulous website *love the after-30 pic btw*, I would forgive you for anything.

Who wants to buy this diamond ring?

*grinz* Yes I did M'Lady Isabella

I've been feeling so NONplural lately and I really have no desire to get married again any time soon, I sorta felt like it was so ironic --- my life is an oxymoron everytime i turn around, i suppose thats why my nick fits me so well haha

*kisses* thank you for the oh sooooo compliment

 

[GuyJD]

AWWW, IS THAT ALL?

That's not as good as when I bought my love a huge bouquet of roses. She loved every one of them. But when she asked me why was there an "R.I.P" ribbon on it, I told her that it meant that she is a Really Important Person in my life. The ring will come sooner just as soon as the body turns cold. (LOL)

 

[Naked Hunny]

Aren't 24 hr WalMart's the best??

That is such a sweet story sweetie. I hope you feel good about yourself for helping that nice man.

 

[FlamingoBlue]

Oh gush! (sniffles) Wal-mart is sooo romantic. I had a similar experience helping some guy pick out paint.

 

[R Nitelight]

SK,
Did you let him escort him to your car, and then seduce him in the parking lot?
Did you attend the wedding, and then engage in a threeway with the bride and groom?
Am I spending way too much time on this site?

 

[Purple Haze]

After we picked out that perfect shade of "Cornhole Blue" it was off to the lingerie department to get the old guy a see-through nightie. He modeled many for me, but the wink of an eye was all it took for him to know which one turned my fancy. He was so sweet.

Dipping into the Creeper again, PH?

*heh* *heh* *heh* *heh*, No.

 

[Purple Haze]

We threw caution to the wind, and threw some KY into the cart, and made sure we had an ample supply of "Magic Powder"
(my new friend has hair all over him) and skipped down the aisles, hand in hand, to the health and beauty department. Leroy is such a kidder.

 

[Savage Kitten]

LOL!! Nitelight

I think we do hun. I no sooner got in my car than I was thinkin 'Gawd, their not gonna believe this at Lit!' hehe

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Great Story Savge...

Reminds me of the time I helped some young Latino beauty pick out a wedding dress at K-Mart - a Super K too, I might add. She ended up with this rather short, white cotton slip-on, a T-shirt really - with a rhinestone poodle on the front. Gorgeous, I tell ya. Chunky little beauty too - having those eight inch heels on didn't hurt things either. Told me she was gonna shave her moustache for the occasion and everything. And all her kids were coming. Life is beautiful ain't it?

And - how would I find your Website?

 

[Guest]

By clicking the little

 

[Savage Kitten]

Come mere Punky Krocket and get the spankin you deserve young man!!

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Corporal Punishment!!!!! What!!!!

Okay but only over your lap.

 

[N2jazz]

hehehe

Had me scared there for a moment sweetheart hehehe, I think that was very sweet as well, but something just doesn't seem right about it. That's just not something a normal guy would do right out of the blue like that. You gotta be careful these days ya know, lotta weird people out there. *looking left and then right* He's probably an internet stalker who's seen ya at lit...or even worse, what if he were me??? and I was getting a ring for you??? *thinking* Now there's an interesting picture *weg* SMOOCHES

 

[Lajo]

Random act of kindness. It makes you feel wonderful knowing you have helped someone. It makes you feel wonderful to share that kind of experience. I hope this man takes your kindness and unselfishness and passes it along to someone else who may need it.

I tell you S.K., that is just another reason why you make it easy to love you!

[Savage Kitten]

I tell you S.K., that is just another reason why you make it easy to love you!

wow.. i don't really know what to say to that... just i guess, that if what you say is true then why don't i have anyone to love me? why couldn't my husband love me?

*sighs* I'm sorry, I know theres no possible way you could even begin to answer... I'm just being my usual pessimistic self

{{{hugz Lajo}}} your a real sweetie!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LMAO@N2JAZZ

I KNOW what you look like Mister! and I also KNOW that you have already given a ring like that to someone else... and I don't think you are a bigamist LOL

desperate men will do almost anything haha the way i figure it is that he finally made up his mind and got up the nerve... and decided to buy the ring b4 he chickened out and wanted a woman's opinion *shrugs* right?

 

[GuyJD]

IT'S AS WARM AS STICKING YOUR PETER IN A HOT APPLE PIE

DID HE GET ON ONE KNEE TO PROPOSE OR BOTH KNEES TO BLOW YOU?

 

[Siren]

WOW... Nothing says I love you like a Walmart wedding ring.

 

[Weird Harold]

But, it was nice to help him. He did end up with something YOU liked, rather than something she liked though, so if she finds out, I bet she exchanges it.

At least the ring SK helped him pick out is more likely to be something the annoymous fiancee would like than what an unassisted man would pick.

If she accepts the ring and proposal, I doubt very much that she'll trade it in on another one. However he chose that particular ring, it's going to be a symbol to her of the proposal. It could be a dirty cigar band he found in the street, and she still wouldn't trade it in.

She might make him buy a matched set of engagement and wedding bands to give her for the wedding, but she'll never let go of the one he proposed to her with no matter how ugly it is. Sentiment makes anything look beautiful.

 

[Siren]

You are absolutely right about the sentiment part Harold...
