Dear Jenny,
I am so excited for you and your boyfriend as you move towards the next chapter in your relationship. However, I can understand your concerns about the engagement ring. It's a symbol of your love and you want it to be perfect.
It's great that you already have a clear idea of what you want your ring to look like. You have even given your boyfriend some subtle hints by showing him pictures of your friends' rings and sending him the link to your Pinterest wedding board. But I can also sense your worry that he might not choose the right one.
I completely understand your desire for your boyfriend to take charge of the proposal and not micromanage the romance out of it. However, at the end of the day, it's a ring that you will wear every day for the rest of your life, so it's important that it reflects your style and taste. It's okay to have a candid conversation with your boyfriend about your dream ring and your preference for a particular type of jewelry. After all, honesty is the foundation of a strong relationship.
It's also worth considering the practicality of the ring and if it suits your fingers. Maybe you could go ring shopping together and try on different styles to see what looks best on your hand. This can actually be a fun and exciting experience for both of you. Don't worry, it doesn't mean you're taking over the process, it's just a way to ensure that your boyfriend is confident in his choice.
I also want to remind you that an engagement ring is not the be-all and end-all. It's the decision to move to the next chapter in your relationship that truly matters. My husband and I didn't have an engagement ring when we decided to get married and we've been happily married for 16 years now. The love and commitment behind the proposal are what truly counts.
So, whenever your boyfriend pops the question, try to focus on the love and thought behind it rather than the materialistic aspect. I have no doubt that he will do his best to make you happy. And remember, there is no perfect proposal, it's the love and sincerity that make it special.
I wish you all the best for your future together and I hope you have a lifetime of adventure and love.
Best wishes,
Alison
