Is it big enough?

[jdneal22]

how to do it without her getting suspicious is going to be hard!!!!

It is hard to say without knowing her, her tastes and what she might have told you in the past about her preferences. It sounds lovely and I am sure you did a wonderful job, but without knowing her it is hard to say.

Him and i get along. He just would be more comfortable knowing she had rich guy. He has grown to learn the I love her more than any guy with any amount of dollars. And my motivation and determination aill allow me to provide for her, and our family. This went from a blog about diamond size...to a dr. phil post. But it is a good thing to get a broad view of opinions on all of this. Thanks.

I have heard her say she would really like platinum because white gold is so typical. I know she likes the trellis??? setting. And princess cut was a must. I really liked the lucida setting from tiffany...and when I googled a similar setting I kept coming to this ring. They have it with or without the channel set diamonds. They are also good diamonds (G/VS2). I know she will like the way it tapers in before it gets to the center stone. It took me a while to find...but I think she will like it. Hope that helps give you a better idea of how I did in my selection for her....

John, the ring will be gorgeous (I love the links) and your proposal sounds great! I think she will LOVE it!

 

[jdneal22]

I hope she will too. I really think it is the closest I could come to on what she wanted. As much as I put together over the years of remembering what she wanted. the only thing I am concerned about is the width of the ring, but I think it will be fine! And the matching band...I hope it isn''t too thick either, or maybe they will be able too keep it think for me when that time comes. I am just crossing my fingers that it will be here in time for my vacation next week....

Check out the ring box I stumbled across on a different forum. I ordered it immediately! Maybe I can have one of the cocktail waitressess bring it out on a tray with a couple of drinks while the fountain show is playing?????

be wary, the things remembered ring box does not lock shut. It just flops open and shut at will. A nice ring box though, I went to a local store and checked it out. And personally, I would be wary of having anybody handle my ring. Even if somethign accidental happened, no way I would trust anyone but me.

Oh, I TOTALLY agree.

 

[jdneal22]

You guys are probably right! Thanks for the advice! And good looking out on the Ring Box too! I am sure once I get there I will have a better idea of what I will do exactly, you know? Right now it''s just an option...

John, you''ve covered everything and thought of every detail possible. Sounds fantastic!!! I''d wish you luck, but doesn’t look like you''ll be needing it

 

[jdneal22]

Thanks, Spoiled. My plan was just botched as I mentioned in my other topic "shipped to Vegas". The Fontatna Bar is closed until Dec. for remodeling. So I am going to have to switch the plans to a restaurant with an outdoor patio view of the Fountain show. OLIVES is the most casual. Only snag is...they can''t guaruntee and outside seat, so whoever the host is will be getting a good tip that night. I have to be out there. The fountain plays the song at 10:30p.m. so it will have to be a late dinner, 8''ish and I will have to make sure they have a nice size bar so we can stay late and relax....
