Was just dropping off my Patek for cleaning. This baw and bawette were there picking out an engagement ring and settled on one and started talking financing as I completed my paperwork.

It is certainly fine to drop hints about what sort of ring you would like but part of the surprise of a proposal is being surprised seeing what ring looks like. Kind of a cuck move imo.

Just remember that an engagement ring should be no less than 6 months salary. Don’t short change your life partner. Take out a loan, if necessary. Nothing shows your dedication to her like a 120 month loan - one just as long as your truck note is.

No shite. That’s your one fricking job in all of this...get a ring, ask her to marry you. That’s it. I’ll never understand men who can’t do this on their own.

She's the one that is going to be wearing it. Nothing wrong with having her there to pick it out.

Surely you know that a diamond is forever. Make it count. No science bullshite made in a lab or a cheap imitation product. If you want, I can give you the number or Drew Brees’s jeweler. He helped the Brees family get lots of jewelry as investment in their future.

you’re an absolute nut if you spend over 4-5k on a ring. I don’t give a shite what the girl says. Some girls have good heads on their shoulders and realize the money is much better spent on a car or new house

I did this. Was both of our 2nd marriage. I can see young couples doing this, but we are in our 50”s. Wanted to make sure she got what she wanted....and she was happy.

So when she picks it out and they put it in the box and hand it over the counter are you in fact engaged right then? Does she just wear it out of the store?

How does it work when she picked out the ring? She get super dressed up every time y’all go out thinking this, surely, will be the night he gives me my ring?

I don't know the first damn thing about rings and specifically the exact kind of ring my wife would want.

She has to wear it for the rest of her life, I'm sure as shite not going to randomly pick something as opposed to letting her decide exactly what she wanted.
