inDEED Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 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! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Joe Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

let_go_let_God Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 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- LGLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooset83 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 "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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
