Engagement Proposal.

[Freya]

Nah, really, how can you possibly let her decide which ring she gets? That's not really how I personally think an engagement looks like. She'll be wearing a ring you chose, one you think looks good on her, one you bought just for her...
I would be really, really disappointed if my future fiancee bought a cheap ring, proposed to me and then said "so, now we'll buy the REAL thing. This is NOT the real thing, it's just a cheap ring to propose to you". I mean... okay, I see why you'd do that, but it sounds ridiculous. Now I know this is way too cynical, but: Will you let her decide how to propose to her as well? Isn't a proposal meant to symbolize your feelings for her?
Mah, I feel like talking so much and making no sense at all, so shortly said: I would be pissed if I were your girlfriend, as I want a ring you like and think I like. I hope this makes sense at all.


As for myself: I don't really care about the ring either. My boyfriend knows what kind of rings I like, we often look at rings together and sometimes he even asks which kind of rings I like. So he'll definitely pick the right one. The one he proposes with WILL be the right one.

I agree.
This is one of the few rare occasions where romance should come before rationality.

This. I bought my lady friend a 1.07kt cushion cut solitare. She's the single , most important (also most expensive) thing in my life.
