     Hey everyone! This is my first post, and I've read through a few and introduced myself, but please tell me if I am doing anything incorrectly or out of line. : ) The reasons I'm so confused: 1) I'm 20 and he's 22. 2) We're still both in college 3) I really have no idea what engagement ring shopping entails. Yesterday, I…

     Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Yep. What are you plans for Valentine's Day? I make FI's favorite dinner - we will have eggplant parmesan, penne pasta, meatballs, garlic bread, spinach balls, and apple pie. Then we will just hang out at home. We hate going out because it is always a madhouse. Do you exchange gifts each…

     Let me know your thoughts please. A little background on my ring: it is a 1 ct. solitare, the stone is very pretty, but when put it next to tiny, more perfect diamonds, looks a little dingy. He bought this ring because it is what he could afford and wanted a biggerr diamond, instead of paying for a smaller center stone…

     WOW!!!! First off I NEED to say oceana got this right.. no one can say it better! Another thing... just in case you are a bit challenged in the math area.. but as far as I know.... 0.5 carat > NO carat What type of job does your bf have anyway that you ASSUME he can afford a 1.5 carat ring. Plus 0.5 carat is nothing to…

     My boyfriend and I went to San Diego so I can meet his parents and friends from growing up. We had been talking about marriage for a couple months and right before Christmas he had taken me to a jeweler to get my finger sized but he refused to look at rings, saying he already had something in mind. So I've been dying to…

     If someone asked you that question, what would you assume they were asking? I got asked that today by a (notoriously bitchy) co-worker, who's insanely jealous of anyone who's younger than she is (she's 36) who gets engaged or married before she does. (She's been with her 19-year-old BF for two years, from the day he turned…

     I got the side-eye from a lady I work with... She came through my line at the end of my shift and made a strange comment about my ring and asked if it was an engagement ring. The rest of the conversation went like this: Her: “I see.” Just the tone of her voice made it sound like she did not approve.Me: “We’ve been together…

     I'm engaged! Virtual fist pump!! Ha, just kidding about the fist pump. FI proposed on Leap Day last week. It was pretty spontaneous and so us. I had just gotten home from work and sat down with a big bag of grapes. I hadn't taken off my shoes, or changed from my work clothes. I was pretty exhausted. He was playing video…

     I don't think I accomplished much. We're kind of on hiatus until after his cousin's wedding in two weeks. I accidentally sent my payment for my boudoir shoot to the photographers studio instead of her home. It was a bit cofusing talking to her, and I sent her a second check, but she let me know the first showed up too. So…

     Katie, I have a similar ring story. When he decided to propose, my then-FI (now husband of 14 years) took his mother ring shopping with him. She convinced him that every woman wants lots and lots of diamonds and shine. I hated the ring from the second I saw it, but I wouldn't have dreamed of telling him so. It became…
