The engagement ring I bought lived on a shelf in the living room for a few months waiting for the trip I intended to propose during.

My wife had no idea. It was hilarious to show her pictures I took of her looking at things on the shelf and not noticing, like picking out a movie and just completely missing the big wooden ring box.

Which i guess is a long way of saying I love this game!

My wife nearly tripped over me when I got down on one knee, lol. It was the height of Pokemon Go, and it was a little too good of a distraction from me being suspicious in the park where we first met.

I love that. Were you expecting her to notice and had a plan in case she did notice, or were you just going with the flow?

Oh I knew she wouldn't notice it. And if she did, I would have just proposed then.

She's wonderfully oblivious to some things (and still is, which makes it still so much fun to do with birthday presents and such for her)
