Hi ladies! I recently got engaged, but I had already showed the ring I wanted to my FH when we first started talking marriage. He ended up getting the exact ring. Are there any other ladies who picked out their own rings? And how do you ladies feel about picking your own rings?
Re: Did You Pick Out Your Engagement Ring?
Just can't wait til July 11th, 2015!
Luckily, I love it.
FI and I actually basically decided together we wanted to get married, he never got down on one knee with the ring. The lady at the jewelry store said her husband was the same way and they've been married 35+ years.
I showed my H a few pictures of rings I liked. Then we stopped by a jewelry store to try a few on. So he had a pretty good idea of what I wanted.
I am wearing it for the rest of my life, so I figured I should get a say in it
We had gone out and looked at rings before he proposed, he knew he wanted a solitaire, and I really wanted yellow gold- that was my only "condition". Back in Oct, we had to go to our jeweler to get our watches fixed and we had a look at the engagement rings. I liked the NESW settings and I didn't see one that they had like that, BF (at the time) saw it and we tried it on, I almost started crying because I loved it so much, it was (almost) perfect. the band was white gold. Then little to my knowledge our jeweler worked his magic and about a month later he proposed (22/11/13)
But I would have taken any ring he gave me even if it came out of a cracker jack box.
ETA: spelling
Officially hitched as of 10/25/13
