Asking the woman that you love to spend the rest of her life with you is probably one of the most memorable, life-altering, and importantly terrifying event that you will have to go through in your life. No, I don't want to add to the butterflies you already are harboring in your stomach, but certainly, you want everything to go perfectly, even if you're not really worried that she might say no.



While spontaneity is fantastic, you need to have everything down pat before popping the big question. After all, the engagement story is something that you and your fiancée will be telling and retelling to all your friends and family. Everyone will want to know how you popped the question after you've announced that you and your beloved are officially engaged. Down the road, you may also find yourself recalling the story of your engagement to your grandchildren. While you may not be able to relate to this, trust that this is something that is very important to your significant other.

Given that, make sure that the timing, setting and circumstances are conducive for a truly fantastic engagement story. Just remember that picking out the right engagement ring is half the job done.

Picking out the right engagement ring is truly important because this is a piece of jewelry that she needs to be proud to show off to her friends and family. Plus, this is something she will be wearing constantly so she needs to be comfortable with it. Remember that she will be thinking about you and her future with you every time she glances on her finger at the engagement ring you gave her. You must ensure that nothing less than best feelings and thoughts are what she will associate with you and your future together in relation to the engagement ring.

While the perfect solution to this is to shop for the wedding ring together, you may want to have the option to surprise her and besides, the story is not so interesting if you get engaged by shopping for a ring. Not to mention that if you want to keep an eye on your budget, having her around to shop for a ring is not so wise.

Not to worry. Picking out the perfect engagement ring is still doable without her. Consider getting her a nice diamond and sapphire engagement ring. The diamond and sapphire engagement ring is a perfect solution to getting the right mix between contemporary and classic jewelry styles.
