Ice for my island princess
Some lifetimes happen to hinge on a single day and for Island Princess last sunday was such a day. Our peer's had known for a while that we had seriously talked about getting married. My IP was expecting a ring but at an undetermined date. I had asked for the help of the frog prince to help me acquire an engagement ring. I had lead her to believe that she would recieve her ring before the period of fall and winter festivals. The frog prince and I searched for 2 lunar cycles and with his guidance I was able to secure a gem worthy of my princess. We had traveled to the land of good grass to pick up the ring. The diamond was a square, near colorless, nearly flawless stone certified by the GIA (gnomish institute of the arcane). Set in a rare band of platinum is seemed almost enchanted as it lay centered in an ornate crimson box. Ah now the quandry of how to propose. Months prior to purchase I consulted several of my healer friends as we proposed different scenarios. I decided to simply suprise her.
This past sunday was just like any other sunday we had finished going to church and we were on our way to a Bridal Convention. We went home to pick up directions and as usual we were in a hurry. As we were about to leave I asked her if she had forgotten anything? She didn't know was her reply. It was then I got down on one knee and out of my pocket I produced the gem box. The last thing I heard her say was that she was nervous. I proceeded to tell her if she were to join other expecting brides she should have her own ring. As I opened the box to reveal its treasure I told her that I loved her, thru the years she had always been there for me and that I couldn't think of any more deserving woman than her to spend the rest of my days with, on this blue rock. It was then I asked for her hand in marriage. The light from the diamond reflected from the ring mezmerized her that to this day I'm not sure she was aware with what I had just said. Of course she said yes. I certainly surprised her that day.
