To want to choose my own engagement ring ?

I’ve known for ages that my DP has an engagement ring in his safe for me, he told me a while back.

I’m actually nervous for when it happens as when he’s bought me jewellery in the past, it’s really not to my taste at all !

I’ve got my heart set on a ring I’ve seen, but it’s highly unlikely it’s that one in the safe.

I think jewellery is an extremely personal choice and if I’m going to wear it forever, I’d like it to be something I love ! I was married for twenty years before this relationship and chose my engagement ring and loved it ! Was devastated to stop wearing it tbh :(

so who would be happy for a surprise ring or who would prefer to pick their own ?

AIBU ?

It's beautiful but I'm confused. What happened to one that had been in the safe for 18 months ?

He sold it and then we chose that one together

Nothing wrong with choosing your own, you’re the one wearing it!
