Both marriages, we went ring shopping together. Both were discussions about getting married & then we went shopping. Not so romantic. I think a proposal would be you get what you get, hey and maybe he has great taste! If you’re lucky..
Lol See I’m not a ring person in general. I don’t even know what looks good on me. I probably couldn’t pick out a ring for another person. Did you prefer to go ring shopping or was it his idea?
I’m not so much a ring person either. His idea? So long ago hard to remember lol.. neither of them had any clue so it was easier to go together. Both were pretty simple, both diamonds but small ones. To me it’s just a symbol, the marriage is what’s most important.
I probably got a smaller one by going together lol.. but ones I liked.
First time I don’t know what the hell we were doing, it was way too fast, we were too young & a bad idea. Second time we were already living together for a couple of years & I was pregnant. He wanted to be married before the baby was born.
At least you got something you liked. I could see it being uncomfortable knowing the price when u were looking. I’d feel guilty knowing how much it is. The only thing I want is a real diamond. I don’t want a fake diamond. Since I was a young child, my family began buying me pearls for a necklace. I finished maybe 6 years ago. It’s worth $ 3,000. I’ve never worn it. Where would I wear it— Saving it for my wedding day. Would I be afraid to wear a wedding ring everywhere?? Oh goodness.
You could alway pick out and hint some style s online and he can actually go out to the Jewellers, and pick out something in his price range
True. I would need to go there to get my ring size anyways then tell him... makes me wonder when do I do that? Lol maybe now because I know no man is asking me any time soon. I think I want it to be a complete surpriseclick to expand

You can alway check out normal Jewellery stores and see what’s out there, or online even. You’ll have to wear it, so you might as well develop some taste while you have the time.click to expand

Lol yep, my aunts started it and by the end I asked a few other family members to contribute. So it’s very meaningful.
One of my male friends bought his gf a ring. Then told me it was quarts or something else besides a diamond... I didn’t question him on it because I thought I’d be rude doing that. Maybe his fiancé wanted it? It does look like a diamond. I wouldn’t have known if he didn’t tell me. He just bought a house and his the sole provider. I’m sure money is tight. In his case I’d be happy with a tiny diamond. I actually think those engagement rings are super cute.click to expand

Your over thinking it, no need to try it out. Just look at some cuts, pretty sure rings come in various style s like oval, round, square, rectangle etc. Not about the fit, cos that can be adjusted later.click to expand

Have you said anything to him about his drunken almost proposal?
Be like, babe its too soon for an engagement ring but if you wanted to get me a promise ring I wouldn't say no 😈 😈

My husband asked me what kind of rings I liked ...ya know hypothetically “if he were to buy me a ring” 🙄
But we had already been together over a decade so it wasn’t weird to discuss such topics
I told him I liked heart or pear shaped because I’m a romantic at heart. He actually helped my mom pick my class ring and they picked pear shape, which I never would have picked myself, but it looked really good on my hand
He also picked pear for my engagement ring and it’s honestly the most fabulous ring I’ve ever seen. Looks like a celebrity ring. It’s probably too cool for me 😂
He could have gone a lot smaller than he did, but he said “the diamonds looked really small on the wall”

I didn’t really want a diamond either, but he’s a Libra and a classic man at heart. He was like “absolutely not” when I suggested otherwise
Said people would think he couldn’t afford anything else 😅 only a Libra would say something like that

So my bf was talking about marriage and buying me an engagement ring! He was drunk and obviously I’m not taking him seriously about this right now, but it got me thinking.
Did you pick out your ring or was it completely your husband?
Is it okay to pick out a few and let him choose out of your choices? Or does this ruin the surprise and fun of this?
Did you love your ring or hate it?
How does a man know what size ring to get?
If there is a process, please share.
Men, how did you feel about picking out a ring?
I was engaged once (worst decision ever) and he picked out the ring but it was literally just a band lol. I'm very particular about how I want my engagement ring to be so ideally I'd want to pick it out myself but that blows the whole experience of a surprise/unexpected proposal so I'd just drop hints at my current s/o about what I want for now...
