There are lots of things my boyfriend is good at. He’s a great cook. He’s an excellent gift-giver, and he’s always ready and willing to listen to me rant about the Real Housewives . However, there is one thing I would never let my boyfriend do — pick out my engagement ring without consulting me first.
There are some things that should just be run by us ladies first, no matter how much you love and trust your partner.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedwick are one of Hollywood’s most… normal couples?
I know it sounds weird to say anyone famous is normal, but out of all the celebrity couples out there, I can imagine my husband and I hanging out with these two.
They’re funny, they’re down to earth, and they’re one of Hollywood’s longest-lasting couples!
Seriously, I only got Instagram just so I could follow these two lovebirds.
Normally, couples that post sweet signing videos together make me want to vomit , but something about K + K dueting together feels so genuine and pure!
Another reason I love this Hollywood duo is because of how *painfully* real they keep it.
Remember when they shared that horryfying story of the at-home bikini wax Kevin gave Kyra?
Oh, you don’t? Let me give you a quick refresh!
Kyra explained the whole ordeal while on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* back in January.
“Kevin is, like, incredibly handy. He’s really good with a lot of things. We kind of both figured, how hard could it be? So I went online and I got the best wax kit,” she explained .
“You have you use small pieces of cloth because if you use too big a piece of cloth, it’s just too painful and too hard,” she continued.
“I’m not saying it was a disaster but the fact that we did not have to go to the emergency room was just an absolute miracle.”
A few months later, Kevin confirmed the horrific tale.
“I’m one of those people that is cocky enough to think that I can probably do anything. You know what I mean? Especially because you’re an actor, you need to get a skill. You have to pretend you’re an astronaut or a fireman,” he revealed.
“I thought, How hard could this be?”
“You need to leave it to the trained professionals,” he revealed. “Otherwise, it can get really, really, frighteningly dangerous. She was a little bit mad at me, but you know what, it was okay.”
The fact that Kyra had that type of trust in her hubby! I don’t even trust mine to go to the grocery store without a list!
I hope to still be just as in love as they are after 32 years of marriage, but gosh, don’t we all ?
However, things didn’t start out on the best foot for this lovely pair. In a new interview with Kelly Clarkson, Kevin is revealing how he royally messed up Kyra’s *first* engagement ring.
“About three months [after the proposal], we’re lying in bed, and she wakes up, and she’s crying, and she’s crying, and she can’t even say what’s going on,” he explained .
“Finally, she goes, ‘I don’t like the ring!’”
He continued: “I talked her off the ledge after that. ‘It’s all right, it’s all right, hone — we’ll go back. I don’t care — we’ll take it back,’” he said, adding that Kyra “felt terrible” about it.
“I have to tell you, I’m really not a jewelry guy. Like, I just don’t get it,” the actor told Kelly.
The pair went out and ended up picking out a ring that Kyra still loves to this day!
See, this is why I am a big believer in couples choosing out the ring together! Then no one has to cry in the middle of the night… about rings at least.
