Yes, lets keep this thread nice and happy. I'd hate to have to close it because people couldn't keep nasty comments to themselves.

:lol: I assume you're too busy with doctorate work to be on AIM.

Don't worry, that wasn't a sly way of telling you to log on.

Regardless, bro...It's exciting that you're getting ready to propose!

Just make sure you do it in a way that you both will remember forever and maybe even involve something physical that she can have besides the ring.

One of my buddies made a side table for his wife and undeneath had inscribed "Marry Me" - I did something similar with a children's book I made for my wife...@ the end it said, "Marry Me".

You know - somethin BALLA! :D:

:lol: I have a good proposal planned, but we're both so excited I may have to scrap it and be more impromptu. :P:

How about you get a ring from a cracker jack box? Or from a box of chocolates like in the movie "A Walk in the Clouds."

Pawn shops work well, and have nice rings for a great deal. My fiancee bought mine and my wedding band for much cheaper than the actual appraisal of the set.

God bless-

Poor huh? It sounds like you are RICH in the faith of Christ and if your future fiancé is too then….perhaps a simple and Francis like lowly object of great symbolism between you two would be good enough till you can get her a ring? Good luck my friend and may Christ be with you!

"Colored gem" engagement rings were really in when we were engaged. I didn't get one though. Someday HS_dad's going to get me an anniversary band with the birthstone gems of our children in it-- diamond, saphire and turquoise... but not yet... I'd hate to have to have it reset with additional stones if we were to get it prematurely.
