I guess I would show him pictures of what I like in a ring and hopefully when he chooses a ring for myself he would reference the pictures. In my culture the man has to go to the parents to get a blessing to marry the daughter. So my parents will probably know when he will pop the qustion before I do. One day I will find my dream man KIm, Lol!

I didn't really have an "engagement ring", what happened was I bought a diamond ring, went home and told my husband (then boyfriend) that this should be my engagement ring and then he reimbursed me.

I've always been one for surprises, so the whole point of going and selecting together, or even dropping big hints about it, is unromantic to me, and I would rather have him put in all the thought himself, and ask friends to see what i like :) that way it means more because he had to plan and put in all the effort! but i know others who want to know it will happen but just not sure when! lol i guess to each their own! xo<br />Andrea<br />www.phdfashionista.comAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952315392155685603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969677052737801120.post-37958168565415186462015-11-21T16:46:28.085-06:002015-11-21T16:46:28.085-06:00I am a romantic when it comes to getting engaged! ...I am a romantic when it comes to getting engaged!

So sometimes we talk about marrying for health insurance reason. LOL What a reason! Otherwise we don't feel a need for marriage. Maybe someday I will be picking out a ring. :)Miss Val's Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200441034267532187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969677052737801120.post-39879027937532699352015-11-20T11:28:49.157-06:002015-11-20T11:28:49.157-06:00I've been engaged before, but that never went ...I've been engaged before, but that never went anywhere. It's nice to read your thoughts on this and the facts on engagement and marriage and picking a ring out. I never had a say in the ring I received. I never liked it nor would it have been my choice. It's probably best that when the special day comes that I know nothing about it and my future husband picks it out. I think that would be preferable. I'd appreciate what my future husband picks out for me. <br /><br />http://adventuresofmsabby.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261502363997721426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969677052737801120.post-33436999996511936862015-11-20T11:22:37.834-06:002015-11-20T11:22:37.834-06:00My husband picked out my engagement and wedding ri...My husband picked out my engagement and wedding ring by him self. He never asked me which kind of style I prefer, and I think there is down thing very special about that. I know some girls want to choose the rings, but knowing that I have something my husband chose specifically for me makes me happy. I also love engagements to be a surprise. And I agree that shopping and buying rings together takes away from the special and romantic moment. That's just my opinion though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033246459058427183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969677052737801120.post-86770376492143180402015-11-20T10:52:27.022-06:002015-11-20T10:52:27.022-06:00I think it depends on the couple, absolutely!

Having a little browse at the rings way before he goes and picks one is ok, give him ideas of your likes and dislikes, but I wouldn't want to go with him and pick my own ring out, I prefer the surprise :) xxThe Dainty Dolls Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165942777053327479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969677052737801120.post-45033934631064099702015-11-20T01:30:15.637-06:002015-11-20T01:30:15.637-06:00Ah I can't wait to get married some day!!!
