Well my SO proposed last night on my 27th birthday 
BUT - and I'm sorry to disappoint - no bling yet! He propsed with an heirloom half-eternity band that was his grandmothers, so that I can 'choose that cushion one you want yourself' (lol, his words!) I want an AVC and he obviously realised diamond selection was beyond him but wanted to do the surprise proposal. Also, we don't really have the spare money for a ring right now due to trying to pay for a few things, and he didn't want to wait any more as apparently he has been trying to save for a ring but I keep paying for other things (we share finances) so this way, I know about it haha!
Anyway the proposal was not at all what I imagined! We were going to my parents house for dinner as it was my birthday. I went there straight after work as their place is closer to my office and he was going to meet me there. He ended up taking ages because he locked himself out of our house and had to break in
he had told me he was making a birthday surprise for me, but I didn't suspect anything because I knew he hadn't bought a ring. Anyway he had asked my dad for permission earlier in the day and while we were waiting my dad started acting really weird, secretive about phone calls etc so I had a suspicion then. When SO arrived he told me I had to wait outside the front door (to which I kept demanding 'why?' And not being very cooperative!) he had written 'will you' & 'marry me?' On our dogs (which are two white boxers - good for writing on!) with coloured hairspray (cute! Although was barely legible because when he was writing it our two crazy dogs would not keep still, nor when I was trying to read it!) then got on one knee, tried to put the ring on my right hand ('that's the wrong hand!' from me!) then asked, and was up again in about 3 seconds flat haha! He said he was extremely nervous. There were no tears or anything, I felt a bit awkward having an audience inside the house! But it was very sweet i loved that he incorporated the dogs, no matter how uncooperative they are! Very happy although no bling pics I'm afraid!!

do the diamonds need to be removed from the setting to do that?
antique cushion or OEC...my favourite is still the cushion but now I my priority is something that will compliment the band. I think both will look nice!
