There are some things in life that you just shouldn’t comment on.
The size of someone’s engagement ring is one such thing, because it’s not really your concern and you’re not the one wearing it.
But that didn’t stop Rachel Pedersen’s friends and family from asking her when she is going to have her sparkler “upgraded.”
It seems that another one suggested that she wear a different ring for events so that people know she is successful.
Can you believe it? Neither could she, and she let the world know about it in a Facebook post which has gone viral.
Rachel wrote: “Wait a minute.... Since when did the size of someone's ring become an indication of success?!
“For me, the ring is SO much more.
“My ring symbolizes a whirlwind, storybook, "make you sick" love story.... It reminds me of how my husband and I met and fell at in love in one night at a Perkin's diner.
“He worked as a window washer, and I was a single mother.
“One short week later, and we professed our love to one another, him leading the conversation.
“We couldn't stop dreaming of our future, so excited to have a baby, buy a house, and fall asleep together every night.
“We couldn't wait for the future. So we didn't.
“13 days after meeting, we eloped. I didn't even THINK about a ring until my husband surprised me before the ceremony. He drained his savings to gift me with a small token of his love.
“I say small, only because it pales in comparison with how big his love is, even now, after years of marriage.
“That, my friends, is success to me.”
Rachel, we salute you and (not that it matters) we think your ring and the story behind it are fabulous!
