A proposal ring fits the best friend, revealing the fiancé ordered her size.
During a public proposal the engagement ring refuses to slide onto the intended bride's finger. Her best friend Sophie tries it on and the band fits flawlessly. The jeweler later confirms the ring was crafted to Sophie's measurements, a size the fiancé remembered from a single mention while forgetting the woman he was marrying. Faced with proof that his attention belonged elsewhere, the bride-to-be removes the ring and decides to walk away, leaving both the jewelry and the man to the friend who fits them.
