meme; promised

 P R O M I S E D

A big old ring with a big old stone, or some plastic thing from a gumball machine. A necklace with a family history. A cool hat with your own personal logo on it, or your favorite shirt. A grungy ninja cowl. A lovebite to the neck. The trinket can be anything, and the proposal doesn't have to be for marriage. All this gift from one to another has to represent is a promise: one that means you take the relationship between the two of you seriously and you want to take things to the next level - whether you openly acknowledge this fact or not.

Oh, and this promise is also a sign to the whole darn world that this person is off the market. Can't forget that side effect.

All that aside, it's time to give that special someone what you've settled on, no matter if you've mulled over what to offer them forever or if this is a spur of the moment decision.

• Top level with those sweet, sweet info + prefs. If you're feeling creative, you can even top level with what kind of "promise" item your partner would offer their partner - or how they'd respond to being given such a gift or mark.
• This is not a marriage meme, so those who aren't of the marrying kind or the marrying age are welcome to come be cute, too.
