RING 911 Help!

 I ordered my future husbands ring, and I am secretly going to get it engraved. I want it to say something unique but I am clueless. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time and have a blessed weekend!

  • Well, for one thing, it seems a bit contrived if you can't come up with something to say on your own.  This is a very personal thing, and if you don't know what to say other than date, initials, etc.  I think that would be the way to go.  I for one, can't tell you what would mean anything to you.
  • Our rings are gong to say, "And they lived happily ever after."  But since I'm already using it, it wouldn't be unique, since unique is defined as something that is one-of-a-kind.

    This is one of those things that's so personal, strangers on the Internet aren't really going to be able to help you.  I'm sure a quick Google search of ring engraving phrases/sayings/quotes will give you plenty of ideas.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • Do you have any inside jokes or code words for telling each other how much you love the other?  Something like that would be nice!

  • Asking what you should put in there isn't going to result in something unique. Only you can create something unique for your fiance.

    I put part of a saying that we say in his.

  • Snarky, snarky girls...how about just ignoring the post instead of being rude?  I thought about putting (jokingly, but lovingly) "Put me back on". 
  • No one was rude.  If someone who's never met the guy can come up with a better idea than his own fiancee can, he's got bigger problems.  We were simply informing her that this is not a question that can be answered by strangers.  If you think that's snarky, you've got too thin a skin to be spending any time on the internet.

    Aerin- This is not only rude, but also cruel. Often in your posts you use the guise of "honesty" to excuse your cattiness. You can be honest without being mean.

    You are making assumptions about the OPs relationship, which is totally uncalled for and obviously something that will hurt her feelings.

    I think in this case the OP was not asking for specific words, but ideas like the PP above who suggested using any codes/sayings the couple has for saying I love you.

    OP- I think that wedding date, or maybe the date you met, are good ideas. Maybe you could also engrave a few words from a poem or song that have meaning to you as a couple.

    Good luck!

  • I agree that some of the responses here are unkind. There are polite ways to say the same thing, without putting down the OP. Some people are, and some people aren't, creative with words. Belittling another person's relationship is mean, even with the anonymity of the internet. To the OP, the traditional engraving is with initials: "XXX to YYY" and the date. Sometimes using the traditional is a good choice. Best of luck in your decision about engraving.

    In addition, there are many many rude posts all over the boards at the knot. It's almost like a safe place for people to be aggressive and mean. That's pitiful.
  • I LOVE the idea of "Put me back on" - too funny.
    Are you a mushy lovey couple or more joking? You can always keep it simple and engrave " <fiance's Name, /> I love you" and the wedding date.
