So... Does the size of a diamond in an engagement ring matter? I love my partner to bits and she's not materialistic in the slightest, I believe I could purpose with a haribo ring and she'd be over the moon.. however, I have quite bad anxiety and always worry what other people will think.. I can't help it, and I don't want her friends or work colleagues to think I've skimped or that I mustn't really care? I dunno, does anyone really care? Is it ever the topic of conversation?
Next up, the proposal.. I'd love to make a big grand gesture and be super romantic and in my head I can be, I just can't ever make it happen irl.
Again, I then worry that when someone asks how I proposed, the story won't be very exciting for her.
I know she is crazy about me and she honestly wouldn't mind how or with what it was done with, she has a beautiful soul, but I'm always worried about how people will perceive it.
She's visiting her family at the end of the month so I really want to do it before she goes back, I know her family would be very happy with the news too!
Any advice or personal experiences will be very welcomed.
