Research, by far, is one of the most fun parts of writing.
One of my characters got one of my other characters an engagement ring. Said ring is engraved. I didn't know what the engraving should say, so I turned to Google for ideas. Anything in brackets [] are my thoughts on the saying.
Eternally Yours
Always
All My Love
Happily Ever After
Worth the Wait [Good for someone who had worn a promise ring]
Till Death
I Love You/Thee
Love, Honor, Cherish
My True Love
I Do [I do/cherish you/for the rest of my life/you don't have to think twice/I will...]
Let's grow old together
Give me a thousand kisses (hers)
And then a thousand more (his)
You're my knucklehead and I love you [This is something I'd tell a lot of people...]
A perfect fit
Honey, I called dibs
If you're going through hell, just keep going [Don't slow down/If you're scared/Don't show it.]
A deal's a deal [What was the deal?]
I would run away with you [Again? Anybody else picture elopement?]
Oh the places we'll go! [Dr. Seuss anyone?]
Don't even think about it...
You are SO mine [Here we go, here's what the ring should say]
To the moon and back
You're still the One! [You're still the one I run to/The one that I belong to/You're still the one I want for life]
United as one
Better than ice cream
My love, my life, my friend
My soulmate
I choose you [The Prince and Cinderella?]
Happy now? Good. [Shot gun wedding?]
Ruth 1:16-17 [16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.”]
Forever, Amen [As long as old men sit and talk about the weather/as long as old women sit and talk about old men!]
Not for pawning [;)]
Put me back on!
PDM 1 of 2 Assimilated 24-11-00 (his)
MLR 2 of 2 Assimilated 24-11-00 (hers) (resistance was futile)
Thanks for waiting, Dork! [Now, that doesn't doesn't seem like a good idea...]
Thanks for waiting, Dork! [Now, that doesn't doesn't seem like a good idea...]
This is my solemn vow
I kissed you first!
Forever my sweet star
You are so beautiful!! [You're everything I hoped for/You're everything I need...]
Why do you have your ring off?
(Woman's name)’s property 9-9-00 (his)
(Man)’s property 9-9-00 (hers)
Be good Kiddo
Keep it real
My Glorious Wife
May "we" always be (wedding date)
Good morning beautiful [how was your night/mine was wonderful...]
Mine, all mine! [This one would be another good one for my book]
God and Us All my Love
By the Grace of God
Our love is fate
Wrapped around you forever
BABY, I'M AMAZED BY YOU! [I don't know how you do what you do/I'm so in love with you/It just keeps getting better/I wanna spend the rest of my life/With you by my side...]
You'll always be my favorite
I love U to infinity and beyond [Toy Story anyone? I always hated Toy Story]
Honestly and for true
Me too [When those three little words come so easy to you/I hope you know what I mean when I say..."Me too"]
Like wine-we improve! [Might be/A little dust on the bottle...]
Resistance is Futile
I Love You Most [Tangled?]
Never Another You [This wouldn't be the one my character bought his girl. This would be the one the girl got him!]
So, if you're planning on getting a ring engraved, now you may not have to Google it. All the best for you and your rings.
