    Ooooooohhhh how lovely, you could start your own website with how to propose lol.

    That ring is gorgeous i dont think she will be disappointed i think she will just be blown away by the effort you have made in the proposal and i'm sure she will love the ring, shes a very lucky lady.

    To be honest to get engaged it doesn't have to be a diamond ring there are different stones that you could consider.
  • """I am making her sound greedy she really isnt but she just would like a decent size diamond! the annoying thing is I probably could of got a non certified cluster diamond (which makes the diamond look bigger than it actually is) for less money but I chose to go for the quality ring! """

    Personally Id much rather have a smaller but better quality ring than a cheaper big cluster. Good luck!

    Its not the venue, nor the ring that matter. Its not even what you say to her. What counts is the person asking you to marry them and how you feel about them.

    My hubby could have asked me dressed in his jim jams over breakfast with a plastic ring out of a cracker and I would still have jumped at the chance to marry him. Haven't ever told him that though considering the effort he actually went to.

    Your girlfriend obviously means the world to you and she would be mad if you dont mean the world to her too. I wish you loads of luck, you sound like a great guy. Do let us all know how it goes.

    The proposal sounds amazing, I loved the fireworks over Cinderella's Palace :D The ring is beautiful as well. Glad you got a good deal, my OH and I picked the ring together as he looked at loads and wasn't sure. In the event we both picked the same one! (same stone rather, we had it reset on a different band). We got it from an independant, it's 0.5 carat white gold solitaire, can't quite remember the classification but it was a really good one. Bought it for £880, valued at £1400 (8 years ago now but we're not married yet :rotfl:).

    Sure she'll say yes, but come and let us know.
