The Truth About Hillary Clinton's Engagement Ring

Hillary Rodham met Bill Clinton in 1971, when they were both students at Yale Law School. Both of them were just as political as each other from the start, and not even a year after meeting, they traveled to Texas together to work on George McGovern's failed presidential campaign, according to Insider.

Bill had to propose to Hillary more than once before she was willing to settle down and say yes. The first proposal was in 1973, when the pair was in London, England — he popped the question, but she wasn't sure yet and told her Bill she needed time. So, Bill took her back to his native Arkansas and bought her their first house (what a gesture). That's where he proposed again and this time, Hillary said yes. In 1975, the pair finally wed with only 15 guests in attendance, but they apparently didn't need a big wedding to have a long marriage (via Insider).
