He sure as heck better have a ring picked out!!! If you're going to go through the trouble of planning a romantic evening and popping the question, you better have a ring to accompany it.
Yeah, it is hard if there isn't a best friend around to help with picking it out, but there are ways around that. Go window shopping. Ask questions. I feel like if you're going to ask me to marry you, you should know me well enough to be able to pick out a ring for me.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I can understand it's a pretty important item, but I feel like at the very least you should know their personality enough to know their style- extravagant, clean and classic, etc. Apparently the girl was fine with it though because she was an extravagant kind of person so she wanted something crazy anyway. That's personally not my style, but hey- whatever floats your boat. =P
I really don't even care what the ring looks like. But I want him to choose it because he thinks I'll like it, and there better be a ring with my proposal. Even if it like, doesn't fit, there should be a ring!
I mean get down on one knee and pull it out of your pocket, and you best have my daddy's permission before you do it. Hahaha.
My thoughts exactly! I just wasn't sure if this was the new thing to do. Call me traditional, but I definitely think the guy should have a ring! Haha.
And your daddy's permission? Oh Libby you are SO southern. Cute. =) I can't decide about the "asking my dad first" thing. I mean, I get the idea and I think it's really respectful, but I'm not sure I'd want my parents to know before I did that I'm getting engaged. I dunno. I can't quite decide on that one yet. =P
I have a friend that went to pick out her ring with her fiance with him, and then he "surprised" her with it a few weeks later, when she "wasn't expecting it" which to me of course is not really a surprise at all. I really don't want to give any input into it - and really don't want to pick it out with him - because I don't really want to know it's coming. Even if I am with someone that I love completely and intend to marry, I don't want to know when exactly the engagement will happen. Maybe that's just me though because she was really happy that they did it that way.
And yeah, must ask parents first, I think. Part of the reason, for me, is so that they have a little idea that it is coming and it's not a complete shock for them - or at least I don't have to do the shocking. My mom got married at 19 and it didn't work out and then married again a few years later and THAT didn't work out and then she married my dad... so it took her 3 tries to get it right I guess, and she's just really not a fan of people getting married young.
Wow, yeah I don't blame her. My brother got married when he was 21 and his girlfriend was 18 and I agree, that young is NOT a good idea. Which they are now figuring out. Aye.
And I agree, I wouldn't want to know it's coming either. Like yeah you probably have a good idea it'll happen, but that doesn't mean you want to know exactly when it will happen. I think when it's a surprise it's much better. But again, I like surprises while some people don't. Haha. =P
I agree with Libby. Must ask dad first. MUST. MUST. MUST. And I don't care if it's one of those little ten cent rings you get from the gumball machine. He should have a ring, ask you, then explain later. LOL.
