Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
/start saccharine shite
To any readers who don’t give a rat’s ass about marriage or engagements or rings then I apologise for the following post. It isn’t tagged as saccharine shite for nothing. For all you who do care, I unashamedly talk wedding stuff. Hoorah. Btw If you missed my views on marriage, proposals and previous ring choices as well as one of the best catching out a commenter pows! you can catch up here.
One of the downsides of our engagement is that B didn’t buy me an engagement ring to proudly show off. He didn’t buy me one, not because he proposed on the spur of the moment (he didn’t, he asked my dad, he bought a silver ring to do the deed with) but because I am a girl of unusual tastes.
Basically buying me the biggest solitaire diamond B could have afforded wouldn’t have gone down well with me. Whilst ‘oh pretty’ and ‘oh sparkly’ and very classic, I must admit I find them rather boring, samey, unimaginative. I apologise if I offend half the female population of this country by saying this – I think you are either a diamond solitaire girl or you are not. I am not.
(Although it might actually be to do with the fact that my sister’s diamond solitaire is a knockout, anything we could have chosen just wouldn’t have compared. Ahem)
I am also an indecisive girl. I’d hate to buy for me, I even half hate choosing the ring myself – I started out wanting a diamond cluster, and then to a 3 stone trilogy ring with a sapphire, to finally a solitaire sapphire. Because it is so unusual (and because I have tiny fingers) it is being made. But, you can get the idea below. Pretty pretty.
In all seriousness, the ring I wear for B had to be something different, as well, we aren’t your usual couple, there is something err, odd about us – something that is regularly pointed out. We are not cookie cutter, so we have chosen something that reflects us – classic, but different, quirky, unusual – me and B.

P.s here is a recent photo of me and B at a friend’s wedding celebrating our engagement. Love.
/end saccharine shite.
Love it!!! :D …….and Congratulations!!! xx
It is beautiful and congratulations.
BTW I don’t think an apology for anything you want to write about on your blog is needed. Most of the people that read regularly, whether they be marriage orientated or not, want to see you happy. So share away!
Congrats again – very exciting :) x
Ha! It was more for the wedding haters on that previous post I linked too. There are always trolls out there.
Oooh I have a diamond solitaire myself and love it for me but that ring is GORGEOUS! Good taste.
That ring is pretty! I’m such a diamond solitaire girl, though!
Love it!!!!!!! Its beautiful…
I was the same about rings….i wanted something different too so have a square setting but on a diaganol with 4 small square diamonds inside. Everyone says it very unusal but D and I were never going to have anything normal!
Enjoy every minute…i have to start planning mine too now! x
I am afraid I am a boring diamond solitaire girl myself. Poor Mr W spent 4 frantic days trying to find me a ring I’d like because I am so picky!!
Congratulations again!!!

The traditional ring isn’t me either, so I love that you got something a bit different, and that you got a choice in the matter. It’s fab! Hopefully see it in person soon!x
The ‘start saccharine shite’ made me laugh! Also yes on “you are either a diamond solitaire girl or you are not”… I’m not either. Best of luck finding a ring that works for you.
