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 surprise

If you give him some pointers in style , cuts that you like but give a few variations... so there’s still an element of surprise for you.

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.

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.

@marai

He has talked about marriage before. Venues and food. Both sober and drunk.

It seems hes adamant on getting married I guess 😛
click to expand



I don’t think he’s that serious about it. But I think he knows I’m a good match for him. Other people have said so to him. I was at a bar and one guy who we met that day said he could tell my bf loves me by the way he kept looking at me - something I didn’t notice. So I don’t know. I’m thinking the marriage talk is maybe more of a way for him to know if he has me locked down, so he can feel confident that he won’t lose me. I think he has abandonment issues. His childhood was difficult.

It sounds like a good idea, but I feel uncomfortable about trying them on. I don’t know why—

Small but real is definitely better. I always liked mine, wasn’t concerned about small. It’s not really about the ring.

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.

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 😈 😈


Well I’m very drunk too so i told him two years. He asked a few times until I said yes. Ha, maybe I am engaged. Then I said no to his venue (a public island on the lake) and food choice (pig roast) and he said I could pick. I asked him if he was going to get me a ring. And he said yes.

Does anyone else have these kind of drunken convos? I’ve never...

I really do like the idea of a promise ring.

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


Lol I don’t know. I kind of agree with that. I’m a traditional girl too. And it’s not like I have any other jewelry with diamonds so that makes it special

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”

Your story made me smile. That’s really sweet. He sounds like a great guy.

He’s actually an animal and I’m realistically the only woman in the world who would put up with his shit

But he’s all mine 🙂🙃❤️

No one is perfect but I think it’s so meaningful to love the imperfections

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... Lol

I think most men need guidance. They want to make you happy but are clueless in this department. I am too though so I get it lol
