    So excited - now i just have to wait for the official proposal!

    Not exactly, he wants to do a proper proposal, down on one knee and present the ring to me and all.

    He did ask me to marry him but he wants to do it again with the ring - unusually romantic of him!

    60 rings?!?! Your fiancee certainly has patience - Mrs. Redped probably looked at about 10, all of which looked fine to me :)
