Chef Yossi Shitrit Reveals How He Hided Engagement Ring in a Sock
Chef Yossi Shitrit shared hilarious details of his Paris proposal, admitting he hid the ring in a sock and skipped kneeling, telling his partner "that's it, enough."
Renowned chef Yossi Shitrit recently shared the unusual details behind his romantic proposal to his partner of many years. During an appearance on the Podcast "Targu" hosted by Bar "HaPashuta" and Shir Hadas Meir, Shitrit revealed how he planned a trip to Paris, booked a two-star Michelin restaurant, and hid the engagement ring in a sock.
Reflecting on his personal life, Shitrit mentioned that they have been together since he was 16 years old as he approaches his 50th birthday. Despite sharing a decade-long relationship, the acclaimed chef admitted he still felt nervous before popping the question, even consulting his older sister beforehand to gauge whether his partner would accept.
During the romantic dinner in the French capital, Shitrit executed his unconventional plan. Instead of a traditional speech or getting down on one knee, he handed over the ring with the simple words: "That's it, enough." When pressed by the podcast hosts about skipping the classic knee-bending gesture and romantic phrasing, Shitrit laughed off the critique, noting that organizing the trip from Israel to Paris was quite enough effort.
A Decade of Togetherness
The playful interrogation by the hosts highlighted the humorous contrast between the elaborate Parisian setting and the chef's minimalist delivery. While the proposal lacked traditional romantic tropes, it offered a glimpse into the genuine and down-to-earth dynamic of the couple's long-term relationship.
