My and my bf have been talking about getting married for a few months now. Marriage has never been a thing hes ever cared about, his views are its just a piece of paper and the most important thing is that we are together, but he knows getting married is something that is really important to me and thats why his willing to do it.

The other day we were looking at different types of rings, we both know we want to stay clear of the traditional diamonds and do something different and unique.

As we were looking at the different rings he was talking about how he feels bad and unsure because im actually helping him pick out a ring for myself so he feels like thats taking away the suprise of him actually proposing.

I told him that i believe its common for women to help pick out an engagement ring but he still seemed kinda down about it, maybe if he sees from some of Y'all on here it'll help him feel less guilty.

    I showed my fiancé several different styles I wanted, but it was all for nothing bc he proposed with his grandmother’s ring! Lol. He said the same thing as your fiancé. He felt like it was ruining the surprise. In my opinion, just show him the styles you like and let him pick it out. Remember the experience is for both of you. Hope this helps Smiley smile

    My fiance proposed totally unexpectedly and didn't have a ring yet, just didn't want to wait to ask any longer, so then we went shopping together and I picked what I liked.

    We picked the rings out together. He could always surprise you with the proposal.

    I was with my fiance when he purchased my ring. He wanted me to pick out the ring, just so he knew I was getting the ring I loved. He then planned a special evening a few weeks later and popped the question!
