Hey there fellow knotties,
I am me to this forum but I could use some advice here.
My fiancé just proposed to me on valentines day. It wasn't romantic, but it was absolutely perfect.
Anyways, I am 23 and he is 24. We have a very good relationship, and are head over heels in love with each other and know it is just right.
Our wedding is set for 02/14/2015 exactly two years from the engagement on a beautiful beach in cancun.
He proposed to me with a beautiful ring, absolutely perfect, however I am starting to feel insecure about it
I get comments about it being huge all the time. It's so sparkly it's so big it's beautiful and then i got the oh... It's so cute comment. Twice.
Its not a small ring by any means not to me anyways. For our age I Think he did a VERY good job picking it out.
It is a 14k, white gold engagement ring with a 0.75 carat center stone, and including the shoulder stones (which are called a staircase setting I believe) it is a 1.25 ctw ring. Sparkly as heck. (My ring size is a 6) so i don't have the smallest. Of hands but I am a very petit lady.
To me the ring is perfectly proportioned. However, I feel that my fiancé and I should be the only two enjoying my engagement ring. I have gotten very uncomfortable with people making comments about its size, be it big or small to them, and constantly telling me how lucky we are to have each other.
People are just making me angry by constantly asking me the story, and to show it off, and this that and the other thing and comparing it to their own.
I am not the center of attention kind of person.
And have caught myself multiple times covering my hand with my sleeve so nobody can see it. I even stated ignoring people and changing the subject when they ask me to see it.
Can someone tell me if this is normal, or if I am just being selfish or silly?
Thames guys, I know it is a long story. But I would like to know what is going on.
