My sister’s best friend just go engaged. To propose, her bloke booked afternoon tea, and a suite, at the Savoy. She now has an enormous diamond on her finger. My husband proposed between mouthfuls of cereal, in a rented room in Amsterdam, one Christmas morning, there was no ring. But I still feel he is at least as, if not more, romantic. He may not have the money for fancy suites and diamonds, but he listens to me.
The most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me was when, a few years after I had moved into his very small house, he, a still gigging musician, gave up his music room so I could have a room to work in. He loved his music room, it was full of guitars, vintage vinyl, and recording/performing equipment. But he gave it over to me, so I could have a room of my own. I can’t imagine anything more romantic than that.

That was a rather lovely and generous thing to do – regarding the music room!
I don’t have an engagement ring. Mr Blue sometimes brings home flowers, but he’s not really big on romantic gestures!!

D rarely brings me flowers, but will always bring me cake when he goes out for milk or whatever.
I to get a ruby embedded in my wedding ring to make up for the lack of engagement ring! X

I never had an engagement ring, lost 2 wedding rings (both stolen) but I guess it’s ok since we’ve been married 53 years. xoxo
