Guy proposes to girlfriend with ring he'd been hiding next to their bed for three years.

Sometimes one person in a relationship — the one who wants to get "proposed to" someday — will do that thing where they drop hints about their ideal engagement ring. "I'm a size 7 in rings, just in case you were wondering," or "I've always loved emerald-cut diamonds like my mom's ring." You know, subtle hints. Typically, the ring buyer will store those information nuggets away for the future, but it's rare for someone to go out and buy their partner's ideal ring a few months into the relationship and then just sit on it for the next three years, secretly waiting for the right moment to arise. It's either incredibly ballsy or totally romantic, and one Los Angeles couple did just that.

Elan and Molly had only been dating for eight months when Molly stumbled upon an emerald engagement ring she liked. She tried it on, mentioned to Elan that she liked it, and moved on with her life.
