Well,
I''m currently in Europe until September and plan on proposing to my girlfriend when she visits me in a few weeks. The only problem is that the ring is still in the US. My plan all along has been to have my parents give her some things to put in her checked luggage for me (socks, food from home, etc) and sneak the ring in there somehow. However, I''m starting to get a bit worried about the idea. If her luggage is lost, it cannot be covered by the airlines insurance. Also, somebody working for the airport could go through the luggage and make off with the ring pretty easily. My other options are to put it in her carry on somehow, to ship it over, or to just have a temporary ring and have the real one waiting for her at home. I don''t like the idea of putting it on her carry-on because she won''t know it''s in there and may not guard her bag as closely as she should. Also, if TSA goes through her bag and pulls that out, it will ruin the surprise. I really would rather not ship it because it could get lost, arrive late, get stolen, or a number of other things. It''s also quite pricey and I''d have to deal with customs, which is a pain. I''d also rather not use a temporary ring, but it''s looking like perhaps the best option. Has anybody ever had a situation like this? Would you put an e-ring in checked luggage? Will my own personal ring insurance cover it if it gets stolen or lost from the luggage? Thanks for the advice.
