Okay, this question is for all you current and former LIW out there. My BF and I are in the "discussion" stage of engagement and I hope it will be sometime this year. That would be fine, but I''m worried about the ring! I am a complete control freak about my personal tastes and style. None of my friends or family would dare to buy clothes or jewelry for me! Last Christmas, my BF knew I wanted a gemstone ring, so he wrapped up cash and then took me shopping rather than try to pick it out himself. In addition, I have yet to find a setting that is exactly what I want or love, so it isn''t as if I can just tell him where to go. To make matters worse, he knows nothing about diamonds or quality settings, while I know a lot (thanks PS!). I know that he would want it to be a complete surprise for me -- and I would prefer that as well -- but I don''t want to be dissapointed in the ring when it is all said and done. I would never be able to hide that from him and he would be crushed. Is it shallow to be so concerned about the ring? And even if it isn''t, how can I get what I want while still getting a surprise? Help!
