Wrong ring, wrong guy.
That is simply some statements for the drama. But, is that true?
The guys in my culture nowadays also have practically adapt the culture of the westerns. They throw a surprise proposal. So, of course, the girl won't have the chance to pick the ring. Unlike those days back in my mother's era, the girl picked the ring she wanted to wear. Simply because they wanted to have the right ring and perfect fit on their finger. Thus, it wouldn't be a waste.
It happened to me where my boyfriend did a surprise proposal as well. A bit of a westerns, but still maintaining the malay culture and reflecting the religion. It was the best proposal I could have ever imagined in my entire life, which I have never imagined about this before (cause you know, I daydream a lot, this is excluded in my daydreams.). He brought his parents and siblings meeting my family and proposed. That's my friend, very classy.
Well, going back to the ring. He didn't pick the ring too. His mother did. And it's perfect. Perfect ring and perfect fit. I couldn't ask for more and I am grateful. I believe, if you have found the right man, he won't do the wrong things to you. Everything little things, every big decisions, every move he want to make, he will do it right for you. And that's my friend, a soul mate.
