How did you give/receive the ring you value most?

Please tell your own story and feel free to share your views about my story... The ring I value is most is a friendship ring, it is a couple's ring wherein I engraved a promise that "I WILL NEVER LEAVE." I gave it to my best friend/ ex gf... I gave it to her before she fell in love with me but at that time I was already in love with her and she knows that... and until today though we're not a couple anymore we still wear the ring because it started as a friendship ring anyway... so here's the story of how I gave it to her... I was looking for the perfect gift for our 8th friendship monthsary (weird as some may say but we do have a friendship monthsary) and I've thought of different ways to surprise her already and yet i wasn't contented... I originally planned to give her the ring on our 1st friendship anniversary but another four months seemed too long and I thought it was about time I gave it to her... so a week before our 8th monthsary I asked one of our friends to accompany me to Unisilver and I told her my plan... (well she's the #1 fan of our loveteam actually...) So after our class we went to the store immediately and selected the best rings they have (well not the most expensive ones but those that are really attractive...) after carefully assessing the rings I finally found that one ring that really stands out for me... it was very simple yet elegant in some way... So I bought two of that kind and had it engraved with the promise I have said previously... then I asked the saleslady if I could have two boxes and two certificates, one for each ring and she gladly made me choose the boxes I preferred to have... one was heart-shaped while the other was a simple hexagon... I asked the lady to put the ring for my best friends in the heart-shaped box... after carefully wrapping it and placing it inside a paperbag I placed it in my bag... Alas! The gift is all set I just have to wait for another week to be able to give it to her... The original plan was to give it to her on the exact date of our monthsary... I planned to take her to the park next to Makati Post Office where there is a fountain that is surrounded by beautiful lights at night... but unfortunately due to academic related and moment related circumstances that plan was about to be ruined... so on that same day when I bought the ring I impulsively decided to give it to her... She went after us to that same mall I bought the ring from after her duty so we had the chance to meet up and talk... She's not the type of person who enjoys mushy moments specially in public so at the flick of a finger all the things I originally planned to do was changed and I had to do everything in a casual yet romantic way... I took her to the middle of Glorietta and we sat on one of the benches there... It was snack time and we were both hungry so I kept asking her on what we will eat and how her day was in order to distract her from noticing what I was doing... I kept the conversation while I was secretly pulling the boxes of the rings from my bag... and finally I found and pulled the heart-shaped box... I kept it in my hand for quite some time while I was thinking of what to say... then I began saying things to her... (Haha! Time for Shakespeare) then I handed her the box which was by the way wrapped by cloth and she asked me what was it and I asked her to unwrap it... when she saw the heart-shaped box she started to ask me again what was inside so i took it from her hands opened it with one hand and took the ring out... and I told her "read" she was puzzled and didn't know what to do until she looked at the inside arc and read the line "I WILL NEVER LEAVE" she was teary-eyed but I didn't waste that moment I casually took her hand and placed the ring on her ring finger... she couldn't speak for quite some time... the I spoke again and told her... "There are 2 rings" so she asked where was the other... and I took the whole packaged from my bag, opened it and wore the other ring... the end...
