I've been engaged for 5 minutes and I've already lost the ring.
I feel awful. Jewelry isn't really my thing so I've been struggling to remember wearing it; I take it off often because I don't like the feeling of water/lotion/whatever under it while I'm doing things...
I kept assuring my fiance that I love the ring, and I did, it was beautiful, I love that he picked out something so beautiful for me. It's just an adjustment and I was considering adding a reminder on my phone for when I leave the house.
Saturday was our engagement party and of course I wore it then. All of our friends and family came to celebrate with us, and it was lovely getting their support and showing off the ring.
Rushing out the door for work is always when I forget to put it on, but today I remembered and I was so proud. But on the train I took it off to put some lotion on, then got distracted by something- maybe the conductor coming by for tickets. I forgot to put it back on. And when I got off the train it most likely fell off my seat and went... Somewhere.
I've made several calls, did a lost report, called my Bestie for back up and finally called my fiance. He's so amazing, just immediately told me to breathe and helped me calm down. He reminded me it's not about the ring, it's about us, the wedding is still happening regardless. I just wish I'd shown a little more effort in my actions- remembering to wear it, mostly. Taking care of it, that was my job.
I don't know. I feel like I'm grieving this thing. We talked about getting a new ring but I just want back what I had.
