Do you give her the ring when you propose?
-
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.

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
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

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

I guess I'm old-fashioned. I proposed over the telephone, but I did already have a ring picked out. It must have been the right one, because she is still wearing it to this day, 24 years later. Congrats and hope things go well for you. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian.

I was a very poor college student when I proposed. Afterward, we purchased a simple, but attractive, combination engagement/wedding ring for her. One condition was that I wouldn't wear a ring--I loathe wearing jewelry of all types. (My wife doesn't like most jewelry either so she understood.) For a wedding ceremony, I suggest the one from Joe Versus the Volcano: Waponi Chief: Do you want to marry him? Patricia: Yes. Waponi Chief: Do you want to marry her? Joe Banks: Yes. Waponi Chief: Good. You're married. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke
