Have you gone ring shopping with her to see what style she likes?

How exciting - congratulations and the best of luck to both of you.

My son just got engaged last week - they are in Nappa now - I am sure the planning will begin as soon as they get back.

Keep us posted and have fun with the planning, ideas.

We went to a very close friend of the family at the Bowery - certificate and appraisal. He had told us the adjustment should be minor if needed too. Good Luck!

I got that part all planned actually. The ring was the only part missing. We are going to WDW for a week in August. On one of our last nights of the trip we will spend a relax day at TL or BB. At night we have ADR at Narcoossee's before the Wishes Fireworks. The goal is to be done before the fireworks and then head over to the Poly beach, catch the fireworks and propose there.

But I'm pretty easy going and if anything happens that dinner is late or early or that she doesn't want to go towards the beach then we can always head to MK for EMH. She did mention that it would be romantic near the castle. I pretended not to hear

My only advice - don't wait for one of your last nights, she may be anticipating it to be then.

Why not make it night 2, then you have the rest of vacation to celebrate and enjoy.

Yes, I did bring her with me a few times. I had her look at a few of my top picks so that I could see which one she liked.

By, or insight of the castle when the fireworks are going off, would be the best IMO.

This! DH proposed to me in front of Cinderella Castle wa back in 1990 (21 years ago last Saturday ), and from the time we arrived until he proposed around lunch time, he went to the bathroom at least 10 times because he was so nervous.

Looks like she's in for a special proposal! I didn't get one, so I live vicariously through others .

Make sure you are buying for a reputable place. They should offer a Full Refund, not exchange only. They should offer 30 to 100 days quality garrentee also the same length of time for the return.

If you are giving it to her in August I would buy it in July. A good store will offer layaway until then.

Sizing takes on average 10 business days if they don't do it in store.

If they say they do work "in store" and are located in a mall, question it. Due to regulations they can not work with the chemicals in a mall.

They should warrenty the diamond as well, against loss of the diamond from the ring.

White gold rings need a lifetime maintance plan that offers Rhodium/Sizing/Clean and Polish. White gold will "yellow" over time but can be fixed.

Yellow gold need need a lifetime maintance plan that offers Sizing/Clean and Polish.

Platinum needs the least amount of maintance but tends to look the worse over time. It needs need a lifetime maintance plan that offers Rhodium/Sizing/Clean and Polish. Gold can be brought back to new. Platinum can not.

A good quality solitaire will have the diamond set in platinum, with a gold band (yellow or white) of at least 14k.

Dont mean to be a stickler, but not much of the above is right...make sure you re advised by a jeweller, im sure youve done your research

make sure you buy from a reputable store, somewhere you trust (not always the biggest high st store) and most importantly enjoy the experience.

I was engaged in disney paris on christmas eve and it was amazing! I am truly excited for you. Im sure it will knock her off her feet! what a lucky girl!

Ill be there in august too...ill be thinking of you when we eat at the poly

Agreed! Plus, she might want to wear the ring around on vacation ... I know I would have liked to have a new, flashy diamond in the Florida sun

Congrats!

So I went in and got the ring on layaway. No sense bringing it home right now. The odds are too high that she would find it. I'll get in July/August and put it on the store card at that time . Thanks so much for the good wishes and great tips. I can't wait till August!
