The "Fauxgagement" Ring


Wednesday was an all around crappy day. I was in the emergency room at the Regina General. Not the best of places to be on a Wednesday morning but the abundance of cute doctors made the experience bearable :) Well after being there for a few hours with no answers I decided it would be nice to have some company so I called "Doctor Not My Husband"(Jayse) and he came from work to hang out while above mentioned doctors figured out what to do with me. Of course none of them were as handsome and manly as "Doctor Not My Husband". After visiting for a while I sent Jayse down to the gift shop for a bottle of water and something to read. He gladly obliged, sneaking out the side door for a little puff before coming back to my room and depositing the bottle of water and copy of People Magazine on the foot of my bed. So for a few minutes I flipped pages while he intensely studied the Archie comic he had bought when he says to me "What's that?". Flipping the magazine over to look at the ad on the back I look at him puzzled. "Right there" he points toward my left hand. Thinking he was talking about my IV I looked at it closely and again looked at him puzzled. Then he grabs my hand and says "there on your finger..... oh, it's a ring" and he slips on a little silver number with three fantastic faux diamonds that he found on his travels to the gift shop. To which I responded "Awww Hunny....you shouldn't have" (big smile in my face) At this point I think we were interrupted by a nurse for a few minutes and then once we were alone again Jayse says "So, Will you marry me?" Of course my response was "Yes" and then "But I still want a real ring." both of us were laughing at this point. It really was a romantic moment. Not in the" flowers and candy, throw your coat down on a puddle so my shoes don't wet" kinda way but in a "you always know how to make me smile and feel better kinda way". When the real thing does come I know my little silver and diamond number will mean as much as my "Official Bling" does but I bet it won't turn my finger green!
