Guy Poses With Engagement Ring For A Month To See How Long It Takes Before His Girlfriend Notices



Over the years, people have thought of about a thousand ways to creatively propose to their significant others.

Edi Okoro, however, has found a unique way to repeatedly NOT propose.


In a viral Facebook post, Edi Okoro told the story about how he flaunted the engagement ring right in front of his girlfriend's nose for a month before popping the question.

"I can finally put this out there 😂 ... So this was how I proposed to Cally, the other story! 😅
Those who have gone through this (and those who will soon find out) you want to propose in a way that speaks to you as a person and couple. Some plan a flash mob, a fancy meal, or even arrange a marry me sign. I couldn't do this because 'Edi doesn't plan'.... I'm a spontaneous improviser! 😅"
"This made it even more of a challenge because Cally knows this, and the moment I planned a holiday or meal she would have clocked on to what I was about to do."
"Because of this I took the ring with me everywhere hoping the 'moment' would arise in line with my spontaneous style."

Edi never knew when the actual moment was going to come!

"After a month or so of waiting for the right moment, I was sitting on the sofa admiring 'my precious' (yes I became very attached to this ring by this point) Cally almost caught me staring at the ring, and it hit me!....All these missed opportunities mixed in with the thought - Cally doesn't know I have the ring!! I should just start documenting these moments! 🙈"
"This escalated quickly into trying to get as many photos of Cally with the ring without her knowing!.... yes she had no idea what I was doing in these photos!!!"
"The idea was to take as many photos, in more daring scenarios, until I found the perfect moment to propose, or until I got caught, at which point I would propose!"
"Here are some of the photos I captured over the space of about a month before I found the right moment (this is a story in its own right). 😊"

Some of these videos were too brazen to believe.


Cally had no idea how close she was to her future.
