Its a long story - I did chose a ring i really liked - ruby and diamonds. Took mum into town to show her the said ring and it had gone - the shop said someone had bought it a couple of days before. I was gutted. Anyway a few days later me and oh went on trip to meet his family in scotland. Did the whole tourist thing in Edinburgh - zoo, royal mile and the castle. After the tour of the castle oh went down on one knee in the castle square and proposed. He was the man who had bought the ring and mum (sly old fox) had already seen the ring, days before i had took her into town. Needless to say I said yes, after a few tears, and probably quite a few japanese tourists have us in their photos from that day lol So yes I chose the ring but he did it in a very surprising way.

No OH picked it, but he knows what I like and I loved it. catherine xx

Yes, I chose it, but unfortunately can't wear it now - old age as made my knuckles to big !! Stella

Hubby chose my first engagement ring, sadly that one is in jewellery box now with a few stones missing. He chose replacement last christmas, modern setting with diamond, lovely it is too :)) Heather x

1964 age 15,,cost £3,,,,ten years later valued at £120,,dont wear it anymore

chose it together

We chose it together...I looked and he made all the right noises lol ! sadly 13 years on, a few weeks ago, i realised the diamond had gone missing...gutted...you bet ! A trip to the jewellers concluded that my ring, with a new diamond, and fixings would cost more than £200. so im putting the ring away for Connie, she can have a cheaper coloured stone put in when shes grown up if she wishes, Then she will have her mums engagement ring personalised for herself. Hubby is going to buy me an eternity ring to sit on the same finger, it will work out cheaper than having my ring fixed and I diddnt want another engagement ring as nothing will replace my one.

Reading your posting Laura took me right back to when Mike proposed to me.......we were on our way up to Scotland, and were stuck on Shap Fell in snow in his mini, and Mum and Dad and Sis were in front of us. We stopped, and we were talking and he asked me........I jumped at it, he was lovely then, and still is......... engagement ring - very cheap, all he could afford, but it meant the world to me.......I was 17 and a half......

We chose it together. It had to be made smaller but once I got it it rarely left my finger. Gwynne
