Yesss! I DID end up getting an engagement ring!

So I have been engaged to my bf for about 2 weeks and I was thinking I wasn't gonna get a ring since he can't really afford one. Shawn was planning on saving money for a nice ring whereas I kept insisting I don't need an expensive ring. I never mentioned to him that I was kinda dissappointed to go back home being engaged but not having a ring on my finger. I guess he somehow read my mind...

...Cause now I have a ring!!! For an engagement ring I guess it was really cheap, but I don't care. Shawn felt a bit weird about it being so cheap since I guess in the US this is an important thing whereas in Austria some people never even get engaged before they get married. But hey, there is a real diamond in there, it's just low carat.
I love my ring!!!! It's beautiful and I have been looking at it a thousand times already.
Just wanted to share. I'm so happy!!!!!

Aw that's great

It's not about the price of the ring, it's the thought that counts. I'm sure it's priceless and extremely valuable to you. And I think it's a really nice ring.
Congrats!

Ohhh Andi, I am so happy for you! It's a pretty ring!
I agree with Eva, it's not about the price it's also about happiness and love!
Congratulations sweetie!

Congrats Andi. What a beautiful ring!

thanks, girls. I will keep this a secret from most of my Austrian friends at first (they wouldn't understand how you can get engaged at such a "young age" and above all, to a guy who lives so far away) so I'm glad I can tell people who will be happy for me!!!
