The book
I picked out a book from the thrift store no one would care about.
What's in here?
I spent a few hours hollowing out the middle of the book. If you want to learn how, I just used http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Hollow-Book
Proposal
I made a post a while ago about my proposal. If you need some sauce, here is is: http://imgur.com/gallery/56f23
The ring
She chose the black sapphire and I picked out the setting.
Gift exchange
It was the second anniversary of our first date so we were exchanging gifts
She still doesn't know
She gave me a totally bad ass breaking bad apron. It has a picture of Walter White and says, "let's cook."
Suprise
It was so cute, she looked at the book and seemed genuinely happy with it. She does like to read but, I had no idea she would think anything of a high school literature book. She did get a very nice surprise when she looked inside. And yes, that is our curious cat in the frame.
Popping the question
Asking the love of my life to be my wife. It's funny, I never thought proposing would be so amazing but, it really is. In that moment I've never been happier. And of course, Toby the cat was there for the whole thing.
Put on that rock!
She doesn't want to take it off and keeps starring at it.
Kisses

YOU MURDERED A BOOK! (congrats or something, Adolph!)
MaliciousCuntWithoutAReason
This was my exact response.
theoneandonlydinosaur
I want to see the Breaking Bad apron!
Satsuiki
Both of you look so amazingly happy. Congratulations! Here's to a long marriage devoid of George R.R. Martin influences!

That cat is like "tch, the fuck are these humans doing now?"

Up vote for an (seemingly) original way of proposing that I'll probably steal.

Who took the pictures?
burninatingthepeoples
I used an app called remote shutter to connect my iphone with my ipad. My sister was in the other room snapping pictures.

THAT WAS MY HIGH SCHOOL LITERATURE BOOK ONE YEAR. Sorry about yelling. I just got really excited for a second.
SamMan
I love the cat watching like you are putting on a show just for his benefit.

Plot twist: Gave her the wrong hollowed-out book, offered her a fifth of whiskey.

Not to be hyper critical or anything, but isn't two years a bit rushed?
SunbrosUnite
Yes, people on Imgur are just idiots

Ideas I might steal: this one.

I didn't know you shouldn't sleep with a ring. Is it because of the stone or why?
workingclassprincess
that a super cute proposal!
itsirrelephant
I love that the kitty was there watching the whole thing. :)
nylonreader
She looks happy, but he is so fucking stoked. Precious.

HeyFreckleFace
2 Things: 1, that ring is fucking gorgeous. 2, your cat looking at you guys the whole time is down right priceless.
tzarcasm
OP did an amazing job with the ring setting.
HeyFreckleFace
Seriously. The stone being eccentric and unique, and the setting being so glamorous. What a fantastic combination.
SgtLemming
3 Your GF is fucking gorgeous, you wife her right now damn it!... Oh Wait, yeah. Well done OP
twodwarvesonecup
Well duh the cats there to make sure she doesn't say no.
spunkyspidermonkey
OP FUCKING DELIVERS. So awesome. Good job, and congratulations!!
LencerSpewis
Not too long before OP's wife will be delivering either
Kingmike9
I read this sarcastically which made this seem very aggresive
spunkyspidermonkey
Woah there. That would be.... woah.

Edgar V. Roberts and Henry E. Jacobs are not going to be happy with your shit
jamseshmcgraw
Somebody should send them the link and ask them to congratulate the happy couple.
HighwayWizard
You might say they're going to be V.ery E.nraged

"... no one would care about" :(
GodLikeButHumble
"Oh no, our book got somebody laid!" *shakes fist*
sixtwobravo
No shit, I thought when you said Edgar V. Roberts, that you were talking about a court case.
lolzomg123
Until they looked at it optimistically, "Our book brought these two people together, we helped a bro out."
Kitastrophe
I've read that book. It's kinda shit anyway
iamthisguy247
They must feel so empty inside.
HeeeyBrother
am I the only one who read this as Rocky?
PotatoHamer
I think they will be glad to be part of something nice ..
KiraHkrOfficial
They'd be like: at least we sold a book... LOL
saltypond
Congrats! Love the ring too, lucky girl. May I ask why she was told not to sleep in it?
JlynTheo
I've also heard sleeping with it on can cause more rubbing of the metal and, depending on the type, can damage the ring.
burninatingthepeoples
It will loosen the fittings. Also, if you wear your ring 24-7 you don't realize if it's getting too tight. Too tight for too long=cut ring.
Anardana
I wear my wedding ring 24/7 but not my engagement ring. I fell asleep on the sofa with it on once, hurt my own face. Lol.
checkert
I can attest to the too tight thing. Kept getting this terrible rash thing eating into my skin...turns out the ring was trapping moisture!
saltypond
Ahh, ok. Makes sense really :P
i81u812
Me and my wife have had ours on 24/7 for the last 6 years. Congrats btw.
whatthebjork
My mom's worn her engagement ring/wedding band 24/7 for 35 years...I think she'll be ok :)
MissChickle
It's not recommended, though. Increases the liklihood the pave (small stones) will fall out.
officerjt
I had to stop wearing mine to bed because the sheets were wearing down the white gold, you can see how the prongs are now different sizes.
MissChickle
You can get the white gold fixed. Just take it to any jewelry store and get it re-rhodium plated. Some do it for free - just call beforehand
