MemberSo today I was looking at my secret Pinterest boards of rings I liked before I got engaged. I hadn’t looked in awhile and I was astonished at how close my fiancé came to the rings I wanted! I never showed him the board or rings like this. I posted screenshots below of my wants and a pic of my actual ring. Anyone else have their dream ring pics compared to their actual ring? 
MemberGreat thread idea! It made me chuckle going back to my engagement ring section on Pinterest. This is one of the rings I pinned:
And my set now:

MemberMemberPinterest didn’t exist when I got engaged. We didn’t have nearly as many options and the Internet wasn’t used for shopping, either. We just went to a few shops and tried some things on. I also lived in a teeny town in the middle of nowhere. As such, I didn’t have a dream ring. We just bought the best ring we could in our budget.

Identical! But the stone is not a morganite, its moissanite!
MemberLove this! Below is a pin of a vintage Tiffany from my board and THE ring. I’ve got to hand it to him because honestly my board was all over the place. I always have a hard time deciding between classic and trendy.
MemberI had a pinterest board that was mostly halos but Fiance wasn’t crazy about them so I assured him I wouldn’t be devestated if he found something else. I’m so glad I ended up with a ring that we both love, and that’s more unique than a halo (no offense to anybody who has one, I still think they’re gorgeous).

First pic = one of my “dream rings” before we got engaged. Second pic = my ring. My guy didn’t snoop at any photos, ask anyone (his OR my family/friends) for help, and made it a complete surprise. HE DID SO GOOD!!!

Our rings are very similar. The rings i liked on pinterest boards were not the ones i like in the store. I like all the bling rings in the pictures but when i tried them i didn’t like how they looked on me. I knew i wanted something with a twist so when i saw this ring i just knew it was the one. I picked the complete opposite of what i thought i liked.
MemberI didn’t get anything close to what I was hoping for! I still get sad when I see ones I love 🙁
MemberAlmost identical, just the prongs are a bit different 🙂
MemberWe ordered it together so I got exactly what I wanted! But, I wish I would have physically tried on more rings before making such a big choice.
MemberI had about five nightmares of getting proposed to with hideous rings, so I was always worried. Then I started to rethink the twist shank. But once he proposed, none of that mattered! I loved the ring and I love him a million times more!
MemberI love this thread! So many guys did so astonishingly well. Great job to all your guys, bees!
