My Engagement Ring

I can only imagine what my engagement ring will actually look like but I can see it in my dreams all the time. Ya, I will admit I can be sort of materialistic at times but that's only because I like the finer things in life & have impulsive reactions which can not be controlled.

What if when the time comes and he proposes to me and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with him but... the ring is not to my liking? I know, I know, horrible aren't I? But come on, that ring is going to be on your finger for the rest of your life.

What do I do? Do I suck it up and accept the ring he has bought for me? He probably has spent a lot of time searching and probably believes he has picked the utmost perfect ring. Or do I tell him that I am not 100% content with it? Oh the dilemmas!

I guess by the time the marriage talk comes up he should already know my style and preference or at least attempt to have learned it. Maybe, he will ask a girlfriend of mines to confirm the style and cut of the ring? But you can never put anything past men...

Here are my all time favorite 2 engagement rings:

 The Round Solitaire - a classic and clean look

The Cushion Diamond Band - an elegant and super blingy look.

Also, the center stone of my engagement ring has to be a minimum of 2 carats (non-negiotiable) with a white gold or platinum band. My fingers are quite long and my hands are not small, so a small diamond won't simply do it. I wouldn't want people to assume I am wearing a promise ring as opposed to an engagement ring.

Have I set my standards too high? Am I demanding too much? I guess we will just have to wait and see how much he really loves me.. haha!! :)
