FWIW, I've done this twice with the first ring and the 20-year upgrade. In both cases I knew my wife very well and knew her taste. However I decided the best thing was to just take her shopping. Much to my surprise she picked something different than I would have - both times. When she looks at her ring now, she doesn't remember our wedding. She remembers the day we went shopping for it.

You're doing a lot of good research, but unless she's told you she wants to be surprised, just take her shopping.

Nice catch OP! Congrats once again, but I didn't know you some of you guys actually took your women shopping for their own engagement ring. I always end up learning a lot in these threads.

OP has a hot fiance. Better not mess this up dude.

Whiskers -

I agree with the other folks that say to have her choose. I was off on the ring I thought my wife would want. I spent more than I needed to. Fact is that was driven more by me. I don't plan on having to do this again.

David - You better stop watching chick flicks if you think we all have these elaborate proposals plans. I took my wife window shopping with me to get a feel for what she would like. Then once I had a setting picked out I asked her to look at it. She's the one that wears it.....not me.

OP - no one here cares that you're a 4.

We also know not to take Whisker's seriously....except that request for nudes....that part is for real.

BTW....Hope she doesn't catch you posting pics of her ass online. That ring will get bigger.

Hopefully you do realize that this isn't flaming. It is just poking fun at your expense. You seem to be a decent sport by posting pics; don't let the words get to you.

You can know your wife inside and out (), but that doesn't mean you know what ring she wants. She has been dreaming about this ring since she was 6. It is set in her mind like the diamonds on those rings. There are no brownie points for "doing your best" and trying to do it alone. 99.9% chance you won't get it perfect. Please, for your sake, take her shopping. If you get her the ring she has thought about for 20 years, she will see it everyday and remember how awesome you are for making it perfect. If you don't get her that ring, she will look at it everyday and think about the ring she had been thinking about for 20 years.

HAHA I'm not taking any of it seriously at all, everything with a grain of salt or whatever they say. I wouldn't post pics if I wasn't in for the fun, I clearly posted her ass pics to stir up some more fun.
ITS JUST ACURAZINE GUYS! For those of you who are actually playing along and giving a bit of advice thanks TGIF motha-FKCAS

I worked 42 hours in the past 58. Shits weak!

Got beers lined up for the Jason Aldean concert tomorrow and Randy Houser sunday! I'm not a huge country music guy but these two are some of the best! Time to let loooooose!

SI2 even with D is not great. Do you have the EGL report?

And I get it, you have a friend who owns a store, I do too, a few of them, I still get a better buy from the diamond district directly.

PS You said she is leaning towards the 1st one... ? And what is the price dude, don't be shy, I'll just tell you how good your friend really is, lol

In all reality guys and joking aside, I understand how important it is, I only posted here to get a super outsiders point of view, I've gotten mixed reviews on both styles. I will take your words into consideration more and I think I'll have to go "shopping" with her but sneak it in sometime and see what she likes. But pertaining to the first ring, a few of our friends have recieved similar ones and she said they were perfect! Thats why I'm asking.

The top ring comes with a matching band made by the company, its an eternity band I belive they are called with stones around the entire ring. I still want her to try something similar on and want to see her reaction. She has had a very rough last couple of years and I don't enjoy anything more than seeing her happy. I don't care about $, the ring can be 20k or 5k, whatever I want I will buy. The retail on the top ring is 19995 dollars full insured etc etc. I wouldn't pay anything close to that(1/2), it is a nicer stone than the second ring. I've always liked princess cut better but like everyone else says its what makes her happy! BTW guys I'm 27 I have no debt I simply owe 8 grand on my car and keep it as an open credit line, I have credit cards with zero balances and we just bought our first home and put 35 grand down. So technically after our closing date we will be 96 thousand in debt. I have 8 grand specifically saved up for this. I have assets as a boat, home, three vehicles now, retirement plan, and some investments, it seems crazy to spend money on an overpriced rock but it will make her estatic and she certainly doesn't expect something this big, shes very down to earth and we live within our means! She is a driven, motivated, hard working woman, I couldn't be more proud of her! She deserves something special!

I honestly suggested to her awhile back how I thought it would be awesome to get tattoes under or even as wedding rings, sounds crazy but I'm very unique. I had a life changing experience two years back I almost lost my life twice in a motorcycle accident...It changes your persepective on life. Do what makes you happy and share your happiness with those who you love!
