Engagement ring, Awkward and Love: How can I put this…?

How can I put this…?

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML

Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I'd bought. She looked at it and said, "This is pathetic. You shouldn't even bother." FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML

Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Today, I went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." FML

Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over 2 hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with a ring from Kay Jewelers. She saw the box, started giggling, whispered, "'Kay", and then started laughing so hard at her joke she had to excuse herself. FML

Today, I found out that my beautiful engagement ring is a remake of the late Princess Diana's engagement ring. I also found out my fiancé bought it from an infomercial, for $19.95. FML

Today, I bought my girlfriend a very expensive necklace. I gave it to her thinking she'd be extremely happy. Instead she was mad at me because my gift for our anniversary was better than hers. FML

Return and exchange! Choose one she liked! If she has to wear it her whole life it better be something she doesn't think is "hideous".

I'm with #10. Also, if you don't know her well enough to know what ring she would like, you don't know her well enough to get married. You should be paying attention to her style of jewelry 3 months into the relationship.

What if she's someone like me, who doesn't wear jewellery? My boyfriend didn't have a clue what kind of ring I liked until I told him.

Don't feel too bad, I'm a girl, and I couldn't tell you what type of ring I would really want until I actually saw it...so, I don't blame you, but I would try and exchange it if you can.

Ohhh I was in a similar situation two years ago, only I was the girl... He'd bought the ring, and planned it all out, he was proposing at my birthday party, in front of all my family... This was all to happen in June, but he got excited and bought the ring in January. We were talking one day about a ring I saw in a catalog and I mentioned I HATE "chunky" rings. Little did I know I was sitting not even a meter away from my very very chunky huge engagement ring, which I now wear on a necklace. (I wasn't allowed to wear it at work due to its size, so we bought a smaller ring that now serves as my "official" engagement ring)

I would have just said well I do. And then I would have just proposed and been like will you marry me? Shed forget the ring and be happy:)

HER ring should be for her.. Not him. She most likely wouldn't say no but if you are getting married to someone, you want them to be happy with the ring you are giving them to wear.
