In most cases, the groom proposes with ring in hand. There are, of course other instances where the bride-to-be goes ring shopping with her future fiance (although I’m not really sure how that works). However you slice it, your engagement ring should be something you love that suits your personality and something you are proud of and willing to wear for a lifetime.

In reality your fiance should know your personality well enough to know your likes and dislikes, your taste in jewelry is a big part of that. Whether it is a 2 carat or 10 carat ring, it should reflect your personality. Remember, size isn’t everything! So, what does your ring say about you?
