Question on rings

[Welshcookie 17]

This time, I don't even want an engagement ring. We have more important things to spend money on IMO (like plane tickets). and I really don't wear much jewelry so a big rock blingin on my finger isn't really me.

I've told him I just want a plain silver band when we're married and that's it.

Good luck, and have fun looking at jewelry with her!

same here....I don't think I have worn a ring for many years....I wasn't interested in an engagement ring cos I personally don't like wearing alot of jewellery....my wedding band is a thin white gold ring.....I am as happy as a sand boy with that

Well...

I respect the fact that guys let their fiancees pick their engagement ring. I also think, that if she's not expecting one, and if you want to buy one for her, it would be REALLY nice if you surprised her with it. (Im a hopeless romantic, and I think that back in the days women did not pick their rings, men bought and offered them, it's part of the acceptance process).

Cause if you pick your own ring, how are you supposed to be excited, surprised and even cry at the proposal??? right?? I dunno...

From a girl that loved to be surprised with a beautiful wedding ring...... I totally agree with what he said above!

She'll love it!!

Where is your fiancée from? Her culture might determine what is the "right" thing.

In Iceland you often just wear your wedding bands on the right hand to signify engagement. So when we knew we wanted to get married, we just went online wedding ring shopping, and then when he came over here to visit he brought them with him. It was every bit as exciting to get the ring that I had seen pictures of online.

We bought them from a shop in Reykjavík that has a web presence (we wanted to get them from a person and not a corporation) but there must be plenty of online shops you can look at together if that's how you want to do it. (Engagement/wedding sets as well).

We bought all three of our rings together, plus got our wedding bands engraved. Her name is engraved in my band, in Thai, and my name is engraved inside her band, in English.

Her engagement ring is just a sight to behold!
