How important is proposing, engagement ring, etc, to you?

[boo.dha]

lourd3ss what an amazing proposal that was!   I'm so happy (and inggit) for you.  I wish to have something out of the ordinary and I would like to surprised as well.

We were already planning the wedding kahit wala pa e-ring. I told him kahit wala na, but deep inside I felt sad. But during our anniversary he gave me an e-ring after all. That was unexpected!

[lourd3ss]

^boo.dha thank you! Yes, my fiancé's proposal was some kind of amazing. It was one of the most memorable days ever 

[namewithheld0001]

we started planning the wedding kahit wala pang e-ring.. nakapagbook na kami ng venue.

i know the proposal will happen, i just dont know when. he proposed during my birthday. hehe.

as for the stone, i am not very particular sa stone e. basta sa kung anong binigay nya, happy ako. hahaha. ang mahal kasi ng e-ring. nasa akin pa pera nya so struggle talaga pano sya nag-ipon aside sa binibigay nya sakin na monthly savings. hahaha.

i think it is the thought that counts.

my e-ring is .17, whitegold. sobrang happppppppy na.

The proposal and the engagement ring are both important for me since i also want to experience to have these both. But not up to the point na kailangan sobrang bongga ng proposal at mamahaling ring. masaya na ako malaman na nagplano si bf ng proposal for me and pinaghandaan nya talaga. hopefully, it will be private. yun lang.

[grrrlscout]

My fiance went all out sa proposal niya. May music, balloons, flowers. If there are any Gilmore Girls fans here, you're probably familiar with the famous "A Thousand Yellow Daisies" episode. Yun ang peg niya.

Being painfully shy though mas prefer ko sana yung simpler, mas spontaneous, etc. Mas important sakin yung mapag-usapan namin yung mga dapat pag-usapan. At ayaw ko talagang madaming taong nakatingin sakin. I dislike kasi yung mga super planned na bagay, which my fiance and I are opposites. He likes things planned talaga. Kaya sobrang saya ko na during the duration ng proposal niya, as in nag start nung dumating ako tapos natapos nung tapos na yung proposal niya, biglang nagkaron ng light rainshower. To me, parang way ng universe for us to get we both want. Nag plan siya pero may element of surprise. Nainis nga siya sa ulan pero sinabi ko naman na I like it that way

My ring is not made of diamond also, which I made it clear din na ayaw ko. May issue ako sa blood diamonds at DeBeers marketing hahaha, besides clumsy ako at baka mawala ko lang. Sabi ko nga pag nagpropose siya sakin bigyan na lang niya ko ng KitchenAide na stand mixer hahaha. Although siguro dahil yun ang unang hinahanap, he still gave me one. Simple moonstone and aquamarine (my birthstone), thin rose gold band, which looks exactly like "me".

Hindi big deal for me kung meron or walang proposal. Kung meron o walang ring. Kasi for me.. since maging kami 5 years ago.. i knew he was the one! O di ba. May forever!

But h2b gave me engagement ring 11 days before our big day. Kasi 11 ang "monthsary" pero hindi 11 ang wedding. Super happy kasi ilang kembot na lang wedding na. But he bothered to give me e-ring pa rin kahit di ko hiningi

[pogi02]

^Ang sweet naman nito sis stylus. ♥ Best things come when you least expect it.

[stylus]

Oo sis. Sabi ko marami pa yata syang nakatagong pera baka pwede pako mag book ng starbucks booth kung may extra pa sya. Hahaha!!

[rjaye_2000]

^nice sis! Ako din noong nagpropose si hubby the e-ring he gave me is a plain silver band with a diamond-like stone then 5 months before the wedding he replaced it with a white gold band with diamond stone (my birthstone).

Ano ba ginagawa sa engagement ring after ikasal? Hindi ko talaga kasi hilig ang alahas...

[ANJFinally]

^sis, nakasuot parin sya kasama ng wedding ring mo. =)

***
Actually it's a yes for me. HAHA! But on how he would propose or the ring size doesn't matter. I am not sure nga kasi h2b is a shy-type person. Sa tagal kasi namin, plus we're halfway na with our wedding preps, I am not expecting na that he'll propose. Parang if yes, I would be very happy. If not, keri nalang din siguro? Pero sabi nya naman mag po-propose sya. HAHA!

Lagi ko nalang sinasabi na if ever he'll do, just do it in his most sincerest way. Yung time na talagang maramdaman nya na. Hindi lang dahil he needs to dahil for sure naman na YES kasi ikakasal na nga kami this year. HAHAHA! We're in a relationship for 10 years na this year before our wedding, and ewan ko lang kung trip nya ba mag propose sakin. Sinabi nya naman na sakin na ako na talaga, pero walang ring. Bwahaha! And our decision to get married is a mutual decision. We're ready na to settle down, so we've decided na to step in to the next phase of our lives.

Pero syempre it's every girls dream eh. Sarap siguro ng feeling na there would be a sincere man who would ask your hand for marriage. =)

You can keep it. Use for special occasions. Pwede din for your children.
I know people who only wear their wedding rings.
It's just really a matter of preference.

It really depends on you sis.  I still wear mine stacked with my wedding rings. Others wear their wedding ring only.  

[Pinklet]

i thought it should be together with your wedding ring. looks nice though.

natutunan ko na din magsuot ng alahas. hehe.

Hi share ko lang newbie here. Walang formal proposal si bf sa akin, parang after ko maconfine dahil sa dengue, pagkalabas naming ng ospital a week after inaya niya ako sa Glorietta then ayun pumasok lang kami sa loob ng store then sabi niya lang "Pili ka na bhie singsing na gusto mo". Nung tinanong ko kung para saan sabi niya lang "Gift ko sayo, para sayo para makasama na kita habang buhay". Tapos ayun na namili na ko binili na niya. Ayun na pala yung proposal niya.

10 years na kaming mag bf gf then ayun hindi yung expected ko na proposal ginawa niya.

Nasad na natuwa ako sa ginawa niya mga sis, pero ok lang ba na maramdaman ko yun?
Ayaw ko naman din kasing isipin niya na hindi ko naappreciate ginawa niya para sa akin e kasi ang mahal din nung singsing ha. Pero disappointed ako ng sobra kasi walang alam niyo yung special something.

10 years then haysss normal ba tong nararamdaman ko na medyo nagtatampo?
Am I expecting too much? Hindi naman ako materialistic, naisip ko lang sana me dinner muna ganyan or something?
 

[pinklilac]

^sis IMO normal lang naman yang naramdaman mo.
Natural  lang may mga expectations  tayo  lalo pa dami ka makikita sa social media na mga super sweef at romantic  proposals  at bilang babae  we also wish the same.

Halos pareho  tayo.  LDR kame  ng  bf ko na husband  ko na ngayon  Alam niya gusto ko diamond ring.  Ayun sinend lang sa akin yung picture ng ring  na napili niya.
Happy ako that time na medyo.feeling kulang  kase nga  gusto ko yung  medyo may konting  "arte" lol na ano ba naman yung i surprise  niya ako .
May mga lalake talaga na hindi mahilig  sa surprises.
I am now happily married at yan ang importante .super blessed ako sa husband ko.

Hi mga sis. My bf then proposed when we were on a boat for our firefly watching. The only witnesses were the sky, stars, moon, thousands of fireflies, the river and the gossipmonger (joke) boatman who paddled for  us to go throughout the site. I was surprised when he popped the magic question. Hindi Ko kasi expect na may proposal na magaganap talaga. Looking back, kinikilig pa rin ako. Pero lagi Ko tinatanong hubby Ko paano niya kinuha yung ring Sa bulsa niya kasi di ko siya namalayan. Hahhaha!

[Lady Marquise]

Hi Sissy,

I'm new around here. I'm surprised, Forums like this exists hehe.
Well IMO, It is important. After all, lahat naman tayo gusto ng Fairy tale Love story right?
Candle light dinner. Romantic Music. "Will you marry me?" haiii nakakakiligi yun.
I'm still waiting for my boyfriend to pop the question. Tho he knows I love those kinds of sweet moments. haiiii

I hope di ako matagal maghintay.

Anyway, I do have a question mga sissy. I actually researched about diamonds. para in-case magtanong si boyfriend, Alam ko sasabihin ko. So for my question, do you know anything about diamonds or You just let your guy choose the ring?

Feeling ko din kasi masyadong Pushy kapag tuturuan mo siya. Thanks mga sis.
