    As some of you already know, I got engaged this weekend (yay!) But it wasn't all about me (although I was the only one screaming...) After my Fiance (love to type the whole thing out) presented me with my beautiful ring, I took a moment to become lucid again and I ran off to our bedroom closet, which is where I had hid his "man-gagement" ring.

    I know my man well, and he is a sweet, sensitive, and romantic type. That's how I knew I wanted to present him with something tangible on our special day. When I showed him his shiny titanium ring he looked a little confused but then graciously put it on and admired it. It took him a bit to get used to the idea of wearing a ring for our engagement, but now I catch him gazing at his ring almost as much as I gaze at mine! He is so happy to explain his new right hand ring to everyone (we didn't want to confuse people too badly) and I am so glad that I bought this token for him. In conclusion, if you think that a man-gagement ring would be right for your guy, go for it! I am so pleased that he has something to remind him of my love, just as I do! :)

    Hey thats a great idea!!

    Did you know he was going to pop the question or did you want to pop the question first when you saw the ring?

    AWW that was really sweet of you. I wish I had thought about something like that too.

    I knew my FI was going to propose. someone let it slip lol but maybe I should do it now and propose to him.

    That is sweet.  My FI wore a ring I gave him on his left hand up until 6 months ago.  He wanted to take it off so it would be special when we got married with a whole new ring.

    haha - thats a really cute idea - very thoughtful before hand (especially if it was a surprise engagement!

    We actually had talked about this (that it's unfair that girls get an engagement ring) years ago and I had agreed that Fi could get an engagement car when I got an engagement ring - I think he was a bit shocked that I followed through on that :)

    That is such a sweet and thoughtful idea! It's so great that he was able to have something special on your engagement day too!

    I love your idea. I will probably just get him something nice to attatch to his keys (that's what I did for our dating anniversary). Thanks for the idea!

    My friend's fiance is also wearing an engagement ring - he picked it out himself. It's getting him used to wearing a ring

    Update: he saw this post about his ring (he thinks it's cute I'm on Weddingbee) He hugged me and he smiled so big I thought his face would split! He told me how much he loves wearing his ring! *dreamy sigh*

    we ditched the whole idea of engagement rings and wedding bands.  My FI popped the question and we went shopping together.  I bought him his band and he wears it now (6 months before the wedding).  He says he should be able to show his committment too.  love him
