I Tried on My Wife’s Engagement Ring
Some might think it’s weird.
By John Polo
So, I tried on my wife’s engagement ring
I mean ~ I didn’t intend to
I was going through some of her old jewelry looking for a certain piece
& I freaked out
The ring was gone, as was her wedding band
I remember that night so well
July 28, 2012
It was just over ten years from our first day together as boyfriend and girlfriend
A teenage love that was so real
That it stayed with us both
Even through the eight years we spent apart
I had purchased the ring about two month’s prior
& I would take it out every night to look at it
It was beautiful, and I was so excited
The only woman I had ever loved
Was about to be my finance
& eventually ~ my wife
Michelle and I went to a fancy dinner that warm, but not too hot, summer evening
“We’re leaving the restaurant now, so probably about 2 hours,” I texted my mom.
