The trip to the jeweler was a surprise I didn't predict. He told me to pick out the ring I liked best. "This is to hold you over until you get the real thing....." or what's commonly known as a promise ring. I must have been glowing smiles because the sales lady told me twice I had pretty teeth. After trying on a few styles I ended up choosing one of the more simpler traditional-looking rings with tiny diamonds shaped into a square. Seeing me so happy made his eyes glow a brighter green. I couldn't keep my eyes off him with an expression that read 'I can't believe you'.
This morning I woke up so happy. Then I wondered, what does a girl do with the promise ring when she gets an engagement ring?
I've refrained from blogging about this aspect of my life, but I decided if I'm going to continue blogging it's just inevitable.

Noura lol, I'm honored to know my blog post was your emergency break! I'm trying to avoid making my blog super personal and I contemplated whether I should blog about this subject or not for some time now.
I get annoyed some times when bloggers I've been following just make this major announcement on their blog regarding something important that they never nmentioned before. It's like what! when did this happen? lol.
Thank you for the wishes and for the suggestion....I didn't even think of that one!
mabroook :) ...

Whats a promise ring? Promise of what? I didn't get the concept, mind explaining? :-)

7aki, thanks babe :) yea I'm still warming up to the idea of blogging about this part of my life
His, thank you so much!
dubai guy, hmmm the concept of the promise ring I guess is a more recent trend. It's a symbol of committment or basically a precursor to an engagement ring in our case. Also it could mean different things to different people and depends on the context it's given in. Thanks for visiting

Hamza, yea I guess you can say that...a new chapter is starting to open. If there weren't so many weirdos around the blogosphere I'd feel more comfortable blogging about it. 3ubalak ;)
Am slow today
I had to read the comments to realize whats going on LOL!
MABROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!
Omg you are getting there! There is hope for the rest of us then :D
ASSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEH!
I knew you were in love, you've been giving 'hints' for some time now!!! I think you even commented on my "Love is in the Air" post in a way that raised my love-radar. :D
Sounds like he adores you! That is the ultimate barometer if he is worthy of your love.
I was given my grandmother and grandfather's promise ring dated 1918. Their love spanned two world wars, the loss of one son and a depression. When my husband gave me a 10th anniversary diamond eternity band, I had my wedding set, the band, and their promise ring stacked and soldered. Every time I look at my left hand I thank God for their example, and trust they can see the pleasure I still receive nearly 100 years later.
May your promise ring, and your commitment, impact the lives of your grandchildren too.
That is so amazing! Congratulations I am very happy for you!
mabrook ...the ring is so cute..i love it...is it the same guy u were talking about few months ago?? cant wait to hear more about your mystery man..
KJ, allah ybarik feek. Ba3dain what is this "ya3ni there's hope for the rest of us?" Why wouldn't there be? Just because we're bloggers ya3ni we're not that anti-social. Yes there's someone out there for all of us and I'm sure your princess is out there waiting for you to make your appearance as well ;)
Kinzi, lol yes i guess I have dropped a couple of hints here and there. Awwww so this tradition of hte promise ring has been around I guess, I thought it was one of those new modern trends in this complex time that we live in.
Beave, thank you very much!
Sam, lol thank you so much. No this is a guy that I've never mentioned on my blog. His coming into my life is recent and things moved fast....when something is right, it's right!
