Note to self: if I ever find a man who wants to marry me, tell him in the beginning that I want to help pick out my own engagement ring. Good, I got it now, self won't forget.:thumbsup:

And if he's smart, he'll be able to let her do that and STILL have it be a surprise when he gives it to her.

Maybe I am unique (no comments from the peanut gallery lol) but I would rather the guy buy a ring from his heart. I don't have a preferencce in what it looks like I guess

The guy thought enough of this woman to want to risk everything and marry her.


LOL... He thought enough of this woman? How did he do that? ...by forcing something upon her that she might not even like? You do know what a ring symbolizes don't you? And what did he "risk"? The same thing that she would have, getting married to the wrong person, so I'd say that ones a wash... A marriage is supposed to be about partnership... balance... not about forcing her to live with something that she might not even like just because of a male selfish attitude that she takes it or else...

He also wanted to truly surprise her when he asked her to marry him by having the ring in his possession at the time.

So let me see... if THEY were to pick out a setting months beforehand TOGETHER, it somehow wouldn't surprise her when he popped the question later on down the road? Seriously.... huh

Instead of seeing the romance involved, and seeing the fact that he truly loves her enough to want to do something very special for her...

Wow, who are you trying to convince, yourself or everyone else? Simple fact, there is NO romance when selfishness is involved, and what did he do that was so "special" for her? ...buy her something that she didn't like? Wow, how special is that? You cannot love someone if you're selfish. If HE'S buying her the ring that HE likes, just because HE likes it - then maybe he should wear it instead... laugh

No ring on my finger, no ring in my nose.

A customer at work and I were discussing engagement and wedding rings. She'd just gotten engaged and while gleefully happy about it, she didn't like the engagement ring.

She was trying to figure out how badly it might upset the guy if she asked that they go looking together so she could find something more suitable.

Unfortunately, I couldn't really help her, since I know I'd want to be involved in picking out a ring.

How badly would that upset you guys?


laugh

it depends. what was the nature of the disappointment?
