Not at all. Alla never had one and still does not. She opted for a plain wedding band after she got here. Not even an issue at all.

I can't focus on simple things either, is like my mind is accelerated, a bit hyper. I walk from one side to the other side of the house :blush:.

Best wishes to all of us :thumbs:

Engagement rings are just a waste of money. Concentrate on the immediate needs and just get a wedding ring when it is time. It is the marriage that matters, not rings. By the way, you don't want to get her to expect baubles like engagement rings, diamond or pearl earrings, etc. She is not from this part of the world so it is not expected.

Have a great time in Ukraine. The autumn is beautiful, dress appropriately for weather. Otherwise, pack light so you can carry some of her stuff too.
