So some news is boyfriend has bought a stone (that i picked) and we're going to get the setting custom made (also a design I've specified). Now that the papers have been signed and payment authorized, I'm getting this feeling that I may have ruined this whole experience.
Long ago I thought: Girl meets boy. Girl and boy are both for getting married. Boy surprises girl with ring. Maybe it's a horrible thought to have but I thought, "What if i don't like it?"
So now after having a setting made that i adore and picking out a stone, I'm suffering from some doubt about what I've done. When some of my friends got engaged, they did even know that a ring had even been purchased.
Have I taken away an important element to this whole process? Is all chances of being surprised gone? Should i have trusted his tastes and appreiated any ring he got me insted of bing my uual picky self?
I know there are others out there who have been involved in the process and your opinion would be appreiate. For those who've received a proposal with a ring you helped pick / design; was there still an element of surprise and awe? Did you regret having involvement in picking it out?
