Engagement ring, Awkward and Love: So romantic

So romantic

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML

Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed with the perfect ring, restaurant, flowers, and champagne. He’s never been this well prepared for anything in his life, so he admitted that my mother planned the whole thing and forced him to propose, even though neither of us want to get married. She even bought the ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML

Today, my very cheap boyfriend of four years proposed. I was overwhelmed with emotion, since he bought such a huge, seemingly-diamond ring. I was later overwhelmed with emotion when my finger turned green. FML

Today, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML

I'm pretty sure no one over the age of 12 even considers claires a good place to shop.

Claire's? Really? What an ass! Doesn't he know those rings turn your fingers green? And your sister stole it too! Girl you got some ****** up people in your life.

This FML is going to help Claires bottom line. After reading these posts no one will shoplift there anymore.

Fyl for the theft but congrates on the engagment, at least he bothered to ask instead of cheating on you, or abusing you, dont think negatively about it, think of it more as your sisters a theif and you bf loves you so much he asked you family (only sister but still family) for help

I'm sure that even a ring pop would be more expensive than a ring from Claire's. And it would come of better use too. The last time I shopped there I was 12 years old. Sorry OP. I hope she was just kidding!

Is nobody else wondering about the sister shoplifting?

#56, yes, I am. I am worried about how the fiancé induced the sister into committing petty theft, and wonder where the limit of his power is.

Your sister will need to up her game; everything you'll need for the wedding can't be stolen from Claire's. Suggest she hit up Wal-Mart next. Gotta keep shit classy!
