As I am coming down from the high of my companies Wedding Showcase, I wanted to shed some light on the myth about Ring Size.
Fellas, this post is for you (Oh but mainly you... you know who you are)
If you want to make her Happy Buy her a Huge Rock!
If you don't know what a huge Rock Looks like, Google Kim Kardashian's Ring and trump it!
If she says "she's simple and isn't in to huge on jewelry"... Buy her a Huge Rock
...If this is your thought process, YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG
A women's wedding ring should reflect the character of the lady. Some women are not gaudy with their jewelry and would prefer a petite simple ring. While others are more flashy and would like a very stylish custom designed ring. It is your job as the proposer to find out what it is SHE wants, she is the one who has to wear it for heaven-sake! So many times women have been chastised for not appreciating the ring their beau's purchase them, however this is a gift and it should definitely be something she can appreciate.
Now on to the price! I personally feel all the rules about "the engagement ring being 3-4 months' salary" are silly. If you find a ring that is 9 months your salary, and you think it would be perfect for her you should get it! She deserves it after all, she's the girl of your dreams.
Now I am definitely not saying put yourself in debt to make your queen happy. So with that being said, if you know she's the one, or at least know you want to be married someday, save your money so that you can get that special girl the ring she deserves. If you have a large amount of money coming in, put some of it to the side for her ring. Sometimes men intimidate themselves by thinking, "I can not afford the ring she wants, so I will just stall until the money magically appears. Just like every other step after the proposal, you will have to plan for it.
Congrats to all the newly engaged couples!
Sincerely,
Mariyah
