Balian went to a jeweler in Jerusalem and purchased a gold ring. He returned to Ibelin. Later that night, he was having dinner with Sibylla. "Where did you go today, my love?" Sibylla asked. "I went to Jerusalem to buy something special." replied the Baron. "What did you buy?" "It's a surprise for later." Balian answered. Days passed. One night after dinner, Balian and Sibylla were spending the night together. Balian got down on one knee and took Sibylla's hands. "Sibylla, I love you with all my heart and soul. I can't live without you. I know I refused the opportunity to marry you last year. I can't do it again. Will you do me the honor of becoming Baroness of Ibelin?" Sibylla gasped. "Yes!" She squealed. Balian pulled out the ring and slipped it on her finger.
