for asking my chap to marry me on 29th- do I get him a ring? But chaps don't generally have engagement rings? Do I get my own ring ( will only be a cheapy thing either way but more of a token I guess )

he better bloody say yes! After 8 yrs, buying a crap house and having a baby (wonderful) together I think he probably will haha

thanks for any tips

he LOVES the vest! I've shown him the thread - he loves the thread too - he said he is genuinely lost for words, he loves the cuffinks too .

Thank you everyone for really adding to the excitement!
