Everything and Anything

If you’re convinced you’ve found that one special person you want to be with for the rest of your life and you’ve finally decided to pop that important question of marriage, you might think all the hard decisions are over. But you’d be wrong. There is still one very big question you have to ask yourself before you get down on one knee and make your proposal. Do you pick out the ring, or do you wait for her to pick her own ring? Both sides of the debate make convincing arguments.

On one hand, she will be totally surprised and swept off her feet if you pick the ring yourself. But on the other hand, she might not like the ring, and she’ll have to wear it throughout the engagement. So should you take the risk of getting something she won’t like? After all, this isn’t just any piece of fashion jewelry. This is (hopefully) her one and only engagement ring. It, of course, depends on the dynamic of the couple, but if the ring would matter to your fiancée to be, hold off. Surprise her with an elaborate proposal, but propose with a plain gold band. Let her pick the diamond that’s perfect for her.
