Most people wouldn’t want to spend their evenings working a second job after a full day at the office. Bradley Cho did exactly that – for eight months.Cho, a corporate employee, took up food delivery work after his regular office hours with one goal in mind: saving enough money to buy the engagement ring he wanted to give his girlfriend, Julia.He documented the entire journey on Instagram, turning the long nights and early mornings into a daily series. One of his posts was titled, “Day 89 until I can buy an engagement ring to propose to my girlfriend.”Eventually, the number he was chasing came within reach. Cho said he had managed to save $6,500, roughly ₹6 lakh, enough to buy the custom ring he had been working towards.But getting there wasn’t easy.After finishing his corporate job, Cho would head out to deliver food. Once the deliveries were done, there was still more work waiting for him – filming the journey, editing his videos and preparing for the next day.He said there were nights when he went to bed at around 2 am and was back up at 6 am for work. He kept that routine going for months.At one point, Cho became sick and had to take two weeks off. Things also got uncomfortable at his full-time job when his boss discovered one of his delivery videos, and Cho said he came close to losing his position.Still, he kept going.For Cho, the extra hours weren’t really about the money alone. He wanted to buy a ring he felt Julia deserved, and that goal kept him going even when the routine became exhausting.Once he finally had the money, Cho visited Wedding Bands & Co to collect the custom piece. The ring was designed by Koorosh and his team and featured a lab-grown diamond along with the couple’s birthstones on the sides.Koorosh later shared an emotional message under one of Cho’s videos, saying that watching the journey unfold had been an honour. He said what stood out wasn’t the price of the ring, but the amount of thought and effort Cho had put into creating something meaningful for Julia.And now there’s just one thing left for Cho to find out: whether all those late nights will end with a “yes.”
‘Can’t Wait For The Proposal’
The story quickly won over people watching Cho’s journey online.Several followers said they had been following him from the beginning and were thrilled to see him finally reach his goal. Many also asked him to post the proposal once it happens.“This gave me goosebumps! I’m so excited for you!” one person wrote, praising the ring and its birthstone details.Another said they had watched the journey from day one and called the achievement proof that hard work can pay off.Others focused less on the ring and more on what the effort represented. One follower thanked Cho for sharing the journey and said it showed what genuine love could look like.Now, after eight months of late-night deliveries, very little sleep and a lot of determination, Cho has the ring.The only question left is how Julia will react when he finally gets down on one knee.
