World War II Engagement Ring Mail Proposal
There are a whole lot of romantic ideas when it comes to proposals and how a man gives the woman of his dreams the engagement ring. Hidden in champagne, in desserts, proposals in the air, under the sea – there’s so much romance and imagination that surrounds a proposal. There’s one however that goes back to WWII. A soldier wanted so much to ask his girl to marry him and he knew it would be some time before he could get back home. So he asked his sister to do the needful. He sent her the money and asked her to buy the engagement ring and give it to the girl he had known and loved from high school in Illinois, USA.
Today, they’ve been happily married for 64 years and both are over 90 years old. Sophia, the lady still has all those romantic letters that Renner, her husband wrote to her when they were young and apart. She keeps them safe in a cedar chest.
