why didn't you propose to buy her an x-box instead of the ring?

I come from the same tradition as Duncan, I asked her to marry me last Friday with the Engagement ring all ready to go. Women love it when you have it ready, it saves the them alot of indecisive choosing. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire" Blogging @ Keratoconus Watch

My wife is far too choosey about stuff like that. There was no way she was going to let me choose the engagement ring. Although she would have liked the suprise, she far prefered to come to the jewellers with me and pick out a ring. Needless to say it cost me about three times what I had in mind to pay. The wedding bands were far simpler. Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

That's what I thought... Thinking of buying ONE "engagement ring". And a pair of wedding rings (me and her). Should "wedding ring" be more expensive? Norman Fung
Usually the wedding ring is something simpler, a gold or silver band say. In our case we chose a matching pair of silver celtic wedding bands - nothing flashy :) John Hudson Mhegs Hudson on what she did when the router died: Well I tried System Restore :~ :omg: http://www.rainbow-innov.co.uk[^]

The engagement ring usually has a nice big diamond, whereas the wedding rings are usually less extravagant. Unless you have my to-be who's wedding ring was about the same cost-wise as her engagement. Some traditions/religions have specifics (eg, religious jews wont have any stones in a wedding band) Current blacklist svmilky - Extremely rude | FeRtoll - Rude personal emails | ironstrike1 - Rude & Obnoxious behaviour

Do you give her the ring when you propose? Or when you actually get married? How is this done? What do you give when you propose? Just flowers? never done this before ... :doh: Norman Fung

I didn't give one when I proposed. We both went to a few shops afterwards and found one we both really liked. It turned out that I picked it anyway, but she certainly appreciated having some say in the decision.

Before the engagement - Spend thousands of dollars on restaurants, movies, theater, and gifts. For the engagement - Spend thousands of dollars on an engagement ring. (Note, the his and hers matching wedding bands are simple and don't cost much) After the engagement - Continue spending thousands of dollars on restaurants, movies, theater, and gifts. After the wedding - Hand your paycheck over to your little girl. (For me, this has been going on for over 28 years) In some cases there's a disengagement (divorce) - Someone else will have to fill in the details on this one, but I heard it also involves thousands of dollars and several pints of blood.

Personally, I took her best friend with me to help me choose the engagement ring. Then obviously she chose her own wedding ring.

Might be a slight cultural difference here... Where's the innuendo smiley face..??

pop the question with a parallel thread that pops the ring in the same time. You give 2 rings to a woman in your life... engaging and marrying. :-D I've found a living worth working for, but I haven't found work worth living for. :beer:

I got the distinct impression you though I did the wrong thing...

I just bought the stone and gave that to her. She got to pick out the setting that she wanted afterward. So, the way it worked for me was that I bought an engagement set: the ring with the stone in it, and then an additional band to be fused to the engagment ring just prior to the wedding. Anything else you give her in addition to the ring is just gravy. :) Congrats! Jon Sagara When I grow up, I'm changing my name to Joe Kickass! My Site | My Blog | My Articles

ah god no. Sounds like a good job to me, just exercising my puerile sense of humour :)
