Getting engaged is arguably one of the most important moments of a person’s life.

Either way, the ring is the crux of the proposal. Does it fit? Do you like it? Is it sat in a plush velvet box?
The box is seemingly a deal breaker for some, as people have been ditching the classic small black box in favour of avocados.
Yes, avocados.

As if we hadn’t found enough ways to utilise the overpriced millennial staple food, people are now legitimately storing engagement rings in the middle of avocados in place of the pip.
Honestly, everything about this seems like a logistical nightmare, but people have shared images on Instagram using the hashtag #avocadoproposal of their rings nestled inside the veggie delight.
At first, it seemed just like a fad.

When do you cut it open? How do you avoid it going brown? What if your choice of avocado is too ripe? or not ripe enough?
Honestly, it seems like a lot of effort, and as far as we can tell no same-sex couples have used the avo-gagement method but it seems like it could be a nice way to diversify your avocado use.
