My boyfriend and I have been talking about getting engaged, probably within the next 2-3 months. He says he doesn't want me to know anything at all about the ring, and wants to pick it out all by himself with no input from me. I would rather have it be a joint decision, or at least give him some ideas of what I like. So I want to know, did you pick out your own ring, or have any say in it at all? I know it's his gift to me so it should be his choice in the end, but it is something I'm going to wear forever... I'm also a little afraid he's going to spend too much money on it.
