A Sweet Surprise

A Sweet Surprise

After another Saturday at the hospital, Mr. Seashell and I had plans to enjoy the evening over a yummy dinner and drinks at Primebar. We were partially celebrating my new job (woo hoo!) and partially taking the time to do something special together amidst the craziness that has been our lives lately.

After nibbling on course after course of amazing food, and chatting the night away, Mr. Seashell took a moment to lean close to me, and pulled out a little black box. He popped it open and said, “I was just wondering… will you still marry me?” Then he presented me with my reset engagement ring!

How cute is he? I had planned to pick up the ring sometime the next week! Supposedly, he contacted the jeweler and had my FFIL pick it up on the way to the hospital on Saturday. Knowing that we had a special night planned Saturday, he thought it would be the perfect surprise. Supposedly they exchanged the ring when I went to the bathroom at some point.

Not only am I completely thrilled with the resetting, but I’m amazingly touched by Mr. Seashell being so thoughtful. In spite of things being less than perfect right now, it’s reassuring to know that we remain strong as a couple.

Have you and your FI surprised each other with anything recently?

Awwwwwww that is tooooooooo cute!!!!! That was very sweet. And in response to your question… ironically enough FI surprised me last night. I’ve had a rough week and I was still venting as I got in the house only to see a delicious looking candle lit dinner for 2 complete with my favorite wine!

Oh it’s absolutely stunning. I have an oval e-ring too, and I love the cut. Good work, Mr. Seashell!

my GOD that is GORGEOUS! I have an oval stone too, but for some reason they put a six prong setting on it, and I hate it. It looks like a marquis, not the beautiful oval shape I wanted. You have inspired me to ask them to reset it! If only it wasn’t a week away from our wedding I’d do it right now!

@alohababy28: I highly recommend an oval set on 4 prongs. If you want more pics for your jeweler let me know!

I just called them, and the jeweler doing the service said they could most likely do it, while the jeweler we bought it from said that it might void our warranty if they do. Apparently their reasoning is that some stones are not “ovally enough” so they put the 6 prong on for extra security. Lame response if you ask me. MOST ovals I see are 4 prong! I’m not sure why they didn’t even give us the option, they have to put a new head on anyway when we purchased it. I’m super jealous of your gorgeous ring, and hoping I can get mine the way I want it one day!
