LET HER SHOW OFF THE RING

Don’t do it…

Don’t show it off.

I get it, you’ve just bought the most perfect engagement ring, the diamond of her dreams…

You haven’t given it to her yet. You’re excited and anxious for that big proposal day (see proposal tips here)…

You want to show it to her family and friends and get their opinions…

But don’t!

That’s her job.

Your job is to buy the ring and keep it a secret. Keep it hidden away until the “WILL YOU…” moment.

Her job is to show the ring off. Reveal it to everyone and anyone. That’s what she does. It’s her special time; the unveiling.

She gets all the oohs and ahhs, the hugs, cheers, congrats and WOWs.

Not you. Sorry.

Buy the ring, put it in a safe place so no one will see it.

She can have all the fun and excitement after the screaming YES. She can proudly proclaim that you’re now engaged and everyone can see the dazzling display of diamonds.

That event is something she’s been waiting for her whole life. Don’t take it from her. No matter how much you want her mom or best friend to see…

Let her do the surprise.

Sometimes she’ll be loud with it, other times she’ll be subtle (holding a drink at a dinner party… “OMG Becky, is that a RING?“)

A moment that provokes real responses. Real emotion. Genuine heart-warming reactions. Something she’ll never forget.

It’s romantic and magical.

And you’ll want raw replies. Laughter, cheer, hugs, and kisses.

So buy the ring, then relax (and think of the best proposal ever).

Let her do the bling.

After all, it is her ring.

Cheers! :)
