Honey I picked out my ring in December and It hasnt come yet.. so your not ruining it. You NEVER know when he plans on asking or how he plans on asking :D!
Just because you picked it out doesn't mean that he will do it right away. My husband had the ring for a long time before proposing. I'm sure that he will make it wonderful and special!
oh I hope so! I really wanted to get the shopping over with so we could build up the "not talking about it" time and I can wonder. :-)
My SO and I picked out THE ring in Sept and I'm still waiting!!! So, like the others said, ya just never know!
I picked out my ring in November and received it Christmas Day just as I had expected.
It didn't take away the magic. You have chosen to spend your lives together because you can't imagine it any other way. That's magic!
I was sorta wondering the same thing as my bf and I picked the ring together too and I'm now waiting, but honestly, I dont think it does ruin anything. I think I'd feel MUCH worse thinking that my bf picked a ring without me knowing what it was like, it's just too much money to spend if you don't like it. Besides, you still wont know when the proposal is coming. AND, I truly loved that experience of ring shopping together, I'll never forget it, and its all part of the process working up to the marriage :)
Don't worry, it shouldn't take the magic away! My fiance and I pretty much picked out the ring together. Besides, its the new fiance that makes it magical...not the ring (but, thats nice too
)!
It won't take the magic away. I picked out my ring and hubby proposed months later and I was totally surprised...I didn't even recognize the ring! I came back from the bathroom and this woman came up to me and told me I dropped something and handed me the ring. I looked at it and said no, this isn't mine.
I'm sure it will be amazing when it happens, even though you know about the ring :)
No worries. We picked out my ring in April and he proposed a month later. I was still surprised because of his timing. I wasn't expecting it to happen at that moment. And I still cried and laughed. So just be on cloud nine right now knowing that it will happen soon! Have fun! :)
I pretty much did all the research about diamonds and found my ring by myself. My FI is horrible at shopping and I knew that if I just picked my ring (within the budget he gave me) it would make everything much easier for him. He was very appreciative. I picked my ring out in February of last year, and he proposed in August. He told me that he went to one other jeweler to compare pricing on the diamond, but the one I picked ended up being a better quality, and lower priced so that was the one he bought!
Oh, and I thought our proposal was still super awesome; even though I knew what ring he would buy. I didn't even care about the ring anymore at that point, I just wanted to be his wife!
congrats :) I picked out my own ring and wouldn't have it any other way. There's no quicker way to kill the just-engaged buzz than to receive a ring you don't like. Enjoy this time of anticipation!
You shouldn't feel like that. I let FI know what ring I liked one afternoon when we were out---he bought it the next day (without me knowing) and had it tucked away for months (we had only been dating for 6 months at that time). Best kept secret, my proposal was still romantic and unexpected.
@ MissLLC--completely agree with you 
I wanted to make sure that didn't happen to me!
we picked my ring in december, set it over the weekend, and i am waiting for it. i am over the moon for my ring but more so for my FUTURE mr.frosting. i cannot wait to officially start planning our wedding!! that will be the true buzz in all of this!
Awww!! Thanks for sharing everyone!! I feel better now about our decision to look together. :-)

Hey bees!!
So we went ring shopping again this weekend and settled on a style we both like - a shared prong setting with larger diamonds and a round center from 1.50 carat to 2 carat. We priced it at a jeweler, then I built it on Bluenile WITH the wedding band for about $4,000 less. I think we are set on this ring, and I will confirm with my boyfriend tonight that this is what I would like and we're done looking for now as we had some other options I presented also.
But now I feel weird!! Like, I totally know it is coming sometime soon within the next few months... and I really am afraid maybe it took the magic away!! Doesn't that sound horrible??? Will it come back while I'm waiting??
