[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 483522, member: 221"] I will second the idea of avoiding the mall stores. You will save hundreds by going somewhere with a lower overhead. Get what you feel comfortable getting financially. If you are poor, as I was when i proposed, get something you can afford and still eat. If you are independantly wealthy then it really does not matter as much does it. Whether you take her ring shopping with you really depends on the sort of woman she is. My wife and I looked at rings together but she would have felt funny if she had been with me when I bought an engagement ring. I actually proposed first and then after that year of college got a summer job and used what I had saved from my summer wages to buy the ring. Despite what the books say, there is no "wrong" way to do it. Some ways are just more romantic than others. And congragulations. :) [/QUOTE]
