BigNick
Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Mrs BigNick and I are going out for a nice dinner. And for once I have a decent present for her.
Today is the 25th anniversary of our getting engaged. IIRC, this consisted of me and her being outside a jewellery store looking at rings and me saying "So, would you like one of those?". Pretty romantic, I think you'll agree. Anyway, I proceeded to buy her the worst engagement ring ever: a white gold band with what looks like a small piece of grit set in it. It wouldn't hurt anyone (I've since been told that the point of an engagement ring is to be able to properly scratch the car of anyone who looks at your fiancé).
So tonight she will be getting a replacement, proper engagement ring, with a good-sized rock. Heck, it's such a good size, it's set in one of those "holders", bent over the top to stop the thing from running away.
Any other Valentine's stories ?
