LL,

Wonderful,! But if I may, WHACK WHACK WHACK!!! Your H made a *grand gesture*. He knew what it meant. You know he's not stupid. If your reticent to trust that it will have long term meaning, that is up to you. But, you've got to recognize your H for this wonderful thing, even if you are still scared!. A wedding ring is just symbolic too, you know. I say, do something wonderful for your H to show how much this meant, and that you're willing to trust a bit more...

LL, and the risk of sounding harsh, this was a grand gesture. Don't throw it in his face with a lukewarm reception. It's not too late. Just let him know you were overcome and trying to avoid crying at the moment.

Whoo hoo!
