After bringing the box inside and sitting down on the couch, I was immediately distracted by my dog Bonnie. She likes to say hello when I first get home, and no matter how excited I am, I usually don't deny her the pleasure. Getting back to the box... the ring inside was perfect. A simple 5mm platinum band with a small inscription on the inside. I have to admit I really struggled with what to write. I wanted the message to still be meaningful 50 years from now... but I only had 27 characters. Yes, just 27. Since I have no idea what our relationship will be like in 50 years, I figured I'd express what I HOPE it will be like. This was the best option, something corny is just not Christian's style... so I settled upon...
"for my love, my best friend"
I like it, for now. Will I like it in 50 years... who knows. The inscription doesn't look too deep... maybe he'll wear it down in 20 and we can pick something new :)
