Hello All -
I have been lurking around and gathering information on diamonds, rings, proposal ideas, etc. since February of this year. In March I bought my first diamond ring - an engagement ring.
For the ones wondering about the specs (AGS Certified):
Carat: 1.012
Depth: 70.7%
Table: 66.9%
Cut: Square Radiant
Color: G
Grade: SI1 (most inclusions are small and at the bottom or point of the diamond)
Anyways, I have been tossing around a couple of ideas on how to ask her. I have narrowed it down over the months to one. A hot air balloon ride. I found a local business that operates east of pittsburgh in the laurel highlands (very picturesque if you are from around here).
I want to know if any of you think this is a good idea (i need some reassurance that she will love it), any tips on how to propose in the balloon (on the knees or keep standing), and do you think it is worth $800 for a private flight that lasts 2.5 - 3 hours long.
Thank you in advance
-Tim
