Who picked out your ring?

I was just wondering if anyone else's fiance/spouse picked out your engagement and wedding ring on their own. When my dh proposed I had no idea it was going to happen. He picked out both my engagement ring and wedding band before he proposed. And he picked out exactly what I never knew I wanted....

When we went to get it sized the salesperson was telling me about how he was trying to pick something that was perfect for me and that made me love it and him even more.

    I gave FH an idea of what I liked, but I didn't pick out my ring. He did a good job though. I love it

    My fiance picked out both, and I have yet to see either - we signified our engagement with a lil "promise ring" and matching tattoos of our favorite verse. Definitely not the usual order of things, although seeing my ring set has been something to look forward to! I have absolutely no idea what it looks like, but I'm glad he kinda planned it this way because it makes things a little more fun - and I'm also surprising him with his band too (:

    I picked both my engagement ring and band out and I'm so glad I did! I had harassed him for a long time telling him I wanted a princess cut diamond! So one day, he casually took me to look and try on different rings. Little did I know, I was going to hate the princess cut on my finger and fell in love with the pear cut diamond! About four months later, he proposed! I think a common misconception is that if a woman picks out her ring that means the proposal is not a surprise. Quite the opposite! I was still SUPER surprised because I was not expecting to be proposed to any time soon! Finally, I'm SO happy I picked my ring because it is EVERYTHING that I dreamed of! No room for mistakes or guessing wrong Smiley smile

    We went ring shopping together and got my engagement ring and wedding band at the same time. He waitied about two months after he got the ring to propose so he could surprise me.

    My mother gave my FH my great grandmother's ring set. Now I'm struggling with his band. Want something vintage that matches.

    My FH was so afraid of chooseing rings that I would like. So he had me choose my engagement ring, and wedding band. I also helped him narrow down the choices for his wedding band. He knows i love to match.

    my band, ordering from Ireland. Who picked out your ring? 1

    his band (deer antler inlay)Who picked out your ring? 2


    E-ringWho picked out your ring? 3


    My fiancé picked out my engagement ring on his own. He did a phenomenal job, as we had never discussed rings, as picked out exactly what I would have chosen for myself. For our wedding bands we decided to forgo the matching sets and get rings that really symbolize us as individuals. He's a huge outdoorsman and his ring is titanium with deer antler inlay. I am absolutely in love with everything Celtic, with 90% of my regular jewelry being of Celtic design and have Celtic tattoos. Here's a photo of my engagement ring, his wedding band, and mine.

    I picked out three rings that I liked and he chose one of the three - which happened to be my first choice! :-) We chose our bands together.

    We picked the engagement ring together. I wanted his birthstone as my engagement ring because it meant a lot to me. I had a few saved that I liked but the one we went with was one he picked out on his own. The wedding band will be the band that matches the engagement ring but in my birthstone.

    My sister, with the help of my two nieces, helped FH pick out my e-ring. He knew what style of ring I like but got the a-ok from my sister.

    My fiancé had my ring made all on his own. He did a wonderful job. It feels even more special that he chose to design my ring JUST for me

    My fiancé picked out my engagement ring that came with a matching band. I had no idea he was proposing. We have talked about marriage but never exactly when it would happen. And I never told him what i liked, not even style wise color wise. We never spoke of rings. HOnestly I’m in love with my ring. I would have picked it out myself. He did an amazing job

    I thought I had my ring all picked out- but he threw a curveball and had one custom made instead! I won't lie that I was a tad thrown in the moment but I love my ring so much because he put incredible thought into it.
