When Tom and I were dating, we joked around that he was going to propose with a Ring-Pop . . .so much so that we started buying them for each other as jokes and we ended up always having a few in the house.
Fast forward to the a few days before the propsal . . .
We were at the mall and decided to stop by the jewelry store to look at rings . . of course we found one that we both loved and Tom took a few minutes to talk to the sales associate. He came out empty handed and said he just couldn't swing it right now . . .and home we went.
Little did I know, Tom had already made a plan with the store to come back at a later time. After he picked it up, he took it around and showed his family, asked my mom for permission and made plans for the proposal.
Unfortunately, the plans got foiled so Tom made NEW plans. And those plans got cancelled a random thunder storm . . . So Tom got down on one knee, at home, with a Ring-Pop in his hand. I actually told him I didn't want a Ring-Pop. So he got out ANOTHER Ring-Pop and I told him I didn't want that one either. And then he got out the ring we had picked out together . .and I was about to tell him that I didn't want THAT one either . . until I saw what it was. And then I cried . . . and managed to say YES at the same time!
And that's the TRUE story of the Ring-Pop!
