before I decided to propose to her that August. I asked her to come to the store
for a little bit, and I left to go get some
flowers. But getting the flowers ended
up taking forever! I rushed home and I put a bunch of flowers in the apartment
and put vases with one rose in each to
make a path to a table in our apartment. After I had made her wait at the store for
probably too long, I told her to meet me at the apartment, where she found me
on one knee with a three-stone-cushion-
cut-diamond-and-twisted-yellow-gold engagement ring.
Afterwards, we went back to the store
to celebrate with everyone, and then went to dinner with my parents and
brother Nareg. Nareg’s proposal story is probably a little better than mine…
Nareg’s Story: Darlene and I had plans to
take a trip to Seattle. I just finished making her ring at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and we
had a flight at 6:30 p.m. that day. We were the last ones on the plane and the airline
was going to make me check my bag, but
that was where I had kept the ring! So, I
sneakily put the ring in my jacket pocket, but the box was kind of thick and I was worried that Darlene could see it. We
ended up sitting across from each other on opposite sides of the aisle. At one point, she asked me if she could borrow
my jacket because she was cold, but I had to say…“No!” 196
