Rafa gave me a beautiful ring the night he proposed to me (four weeks ago, already!). It is bigger than I expected/ wanted, but there’s a story behind it. The stone is from a ring Rafa’s dad had in El Salvador. When his father died, his mother held on to the ring to give to Rafa later in life. Since Rafa isn’t much of a diamond wearer, he took out the stone and then he designed the rest of the ring around it.
It’s so pretty! When I showed it to Jennifer, she said, “It looks like it was made for you.” It was 🙂
I would have been happy with any sort of circular band on my left finger… but it is really fun to get just a little distracted by the dazzler on my left hand.
When Rafa’s mom congratulated us, she held my hand and said, “Now you have a piece of my husband, my family, with you.”
