I'm a bit of a smart alec.
Luckily, my husband isn't phased by this....
honestly, he never has been.
In fact, when were just friends,
I mentioned that he was so cliche-
he would be the type of guy
that would propose in a fortune cookie.
He rolled his eyes and nodded,
but got me back a few months later ...
... when he proposed to me in a fortune cookie.
Sigh.

It served me right...
and assured me that he was the perfect guy for me.
Now to commemorate the event,
I get the last laugh.
This cute necklace by jeweler Sydney Evan is perfect.
Oh, and it costs $1100.
{Sorry, babe.}
{Sorry, babe.}
It looks like fortune has a good sense of humor!

Maybe you can gold leaf a real one, and string it on a silk cord?
ReplyDeleteThe money you saved could be saved for a rainy day or for perhaps more fortune cookies.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice story! That was original, you have to give credit for that! :) I totally want that necklace now though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever post! Thanks for stopping by my blog today...I'm totally flattered! I've only discovered you a bit ago, but you're at the top of my list already. I am in Dallas...or Plano really. Oh, and one of mine and my husband's top 5 meals was an Indian restaurant in London!!

like a true lady...everything comes back to the jewelry. well written friend- and such a cute engagement story!!
ReplyDeleteGreat story! I think that necklace should be a future anniversary gift and it absolutely has to come from him. You look like an adorable couple.

I think that engagement bodes well for a happy future. And, one of the more creative proposals I've heard of.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the fortune cookie containers at Madison in HP Village? I think they'd make great favors at an Asian dinner.....or a darling anniversary gift from you!! xo
adorable. what a sweet story, and a memory you'll cherish forever!
ReplyDeletelove the necklace!
Amazing! What a Great story! I hope you still have the fortune and the the fortune cooke! :)

Oh that's brilliant. And I love how you illustrated this story.
ReplyDeleteI just love the blog, period. I didn't know how to email you but that's so funny. Welcome to England! Do you know Jen yet? The Style Crusader? She's technically American (grew up all over the place), married to the perfect man, and they live in Oxford. (They're both 25).
Hope to hear from you again - join our little virtual yet real community. I love your blog - taking a look around now, before I make dinner for my husband. Well in this instance, heat up pizza. ; ) x
