Title: Engagement Ring/ Proposal : You Do or you Don't
Post by: iceprince on September 19, 2013, 10:48:02 AM
In most cases, we often see proposals in the Movies, TV Series, Facebook, etc...

But when you think about it, what would be the chances of you buying an Engagement Ring and preparing for the proposal part...
And, for girls, would it be any different if you didn't experience this part in your relationship...If you had any say in the matter, would you want to have an Engagement Ring and what price range would you settle for...

Kindly give me your opinions on these...hahaha
 :D :D :D

usapang ring na to tol ha hehehe... sabi ng mga babae kong kaofficemate dapat daw ang engagement ring thrice ng sahod ng lalake ang price. i was surprised by this. that's totally crazy pero totoo daw na dapat ganun. gagapang muna si lalake para makabili ng ganyang kamahal na engagement ring.

hahaha...tama yang sinabi ng kaofficemate mo...

checked the prices on any malls and jewelry stores and walang bumaba ng 5,000 na engagement ring...
and here's a fact, you can buy both of your wedding rings much cheaper than what you paid for your engagement ring...
Tapos nyan, kailangan mo pang umisip ng proposal part...dapat surprise at kailangan nakavideo...hahaha

ikaw ba ano ang feeling mo kapag ready ka na sa next step...
ano sa tingin mo ang pipiliin mo...

hmmmm medyo komplikadong tanong yan para sa kin. wala pa kasi yan sa mga nakalineup na to do list ko. matatawa ka na lang dahil mas mura nga ang wedding rings kesa engagement rings. gagastos ka talaga para lang sa proposal and iba pa sa wedding. sa proposal iba pa ang engagement ring na bibilhin mo as a part of that. though wala naman kaso yan sa ibang lalake, pero sa mga kapos, masaklap ang part na yan.

I gave my wife an engagement ring that cost me a pretty fortune.

After all they say the engagement ring should cost as much as 1-2 months' worth of my salary (I took the 1 month route).

The proposal was done in a church in Greenbelt. But I took her out for a date in Antonio's in Tagaytay before that...

It would be an inspirational thing to see what you prepared for her...

when i proposed to my then soon to be wife she's thousand of miles away from me.... i never really gave her a ring or something until we are married, and i'm glad i did it... and now almost 9 years na kaming kasal with 2 kids, so far so good....but i never stop courting her, i always give her 1 or 2 boquet of flowers everytime i go home. And to think about it, all the ladies in my past that i gave a ring doesn't really end up to what i'm expecting...tsk...tsk...tsk.

Anyhow, i'm just saying this kasi part of it due to my not so well to remember experience  but the major reason is that i believe in love ....which is the most important than any material things around. Material things can be lost, or broken. It can't really hold a relationship to a heights because it is just a symbol na hindi niya pwedeng isuot araw-araw kasi in this world today, delikado especially yung mga super expensive. Ring for example is just an expression and symbol of commitment to one another but it can never bind you together like a marraige contract. After the engagement, you and her still have a choice to continue or broke apart. I'm not being negative but merely expressing reasons for you to weigh.

My point is, just do what you're heart tells you to do but don't force yourself if you can't. It may influence her decision at that moment but it will not last forever so it doesn't really matter kung gaano ka-expensive yung ibibigay mo sa kanya, ang importante is to show how much you love her, and i'm sure if the lady really love you and want to be with you, nothing matter most than you. I'm not saying for you to be cheap with her or be something practical but weigh your options carefully. Kasi for example you gave something expensive to her but you have to double your effort in working para lang mabayaran mo or makaipon ka ng pambili and because of that napabayaan mo naman ang relasyon ninyo so what's the point of giving something expensive if your most expensive person lacks your attention? And how about the marraige, malaki din ang gastos doon? But If you have the ability then give the best for her, it's something worth remembering of course.

nice thread sir +karma for you

Worth it naman to spend a high price engagement and ring package with surprises kasi if you do really love that woman hindi mo memeasure yung presyo kasi you are happy..

I had a discussion with my officemate regarding this matter. He had a gf na nasa Riyadh and they're planning to get married soon. Since taghirap din sya considering the car with monthly amortization and nadedelay pa sya maghulog minsan and the way ng lifestyle nya medyo mahihirapan syang makabili ng ganyang kamahal na engagement ring. The topic ended as like di naman mahalaga ang presyo. Nasa babae naman na yan kung mahal ka talaga o hindi. On my own opinion, mahalaga talaga ang engagement. I think that's one sweet moment na magiging memorable sa kanila so why tipirin pa. Dapat din talaga tyagain ni lalake yan. Once in a lifetime lang naman mangyayari yan.

Patay tayo dyan lol! Anyway, yun nga e minsanan lang yan. Maximize it then, kumbaga sagad sagarin na. Mababawi naman yan ng pagmamahal kung sincere kayong dalawa. Mauuwi rin sa kasalan yan. ;D

Para sa akin naman nde importante ang expensive ring kasi nde mo mamemeasure ang love mo kung bibigyan ka ng mamahaling enggagement ring or wedding ring..ok lang sa may kaya na makabili nung ganun ka mahal but practically i rather save the money lalo na ngayon na marami na ang naghihirap.

yeah! sa tingin ko din depende nga yan sa girl, whatever you think will really make her happy....which i think you should already know by that time you´re ready for something serious... as for me, the price doesn´t really matter...of course it´s something to celebrate but engagement proposal with vows would be nicer ... i´m not much into rings and stones, baka mas prefer ko pa property under my name but not because it´s more expensive, rather for security

i give this rule to those who asks about buying an engagement ring...
1. buy only that you can afford. let's face it not everyone can buy a 50k ring. but if you save 1k to 2k a month after 6mos then you can buy a decent ring.
2. don't buy using your credit card or getting a loan, learn to save and then buy, work hard for it. This will also give you ample time to really think about your decision to tie the knot.
3. you may take this advise or leave it. but i don't like the idea of buying an engagement ring from a "subasta" pawnshop. something about it is just not right, there's a history on that ring and most of the time it's painful.

and lastly, this is very very important and often disregarded as cheesy or baduy.
 - proposing is a 1 time thing (well for most of us) so be creative ... prepare for it. since you already took an effort with the ring then complete the package with an out of this world proposal. it dosen't need to be expensive it just have to be unique. you would want this to be memorable as possible.
one thing i learned about girls, your effort is nothing compared to the rewards they can give you.

Very good piece of advice. Never use credit to pay for the ring. Your fiancée will not be pleased. Haha.

Hahaha... sir aga one time lang ako nagproposed the problem is i did exactly the opposite of what I have written here. Big regret in my life di ko pinahalagan yun proposal.
My wife loves me no doubt about that but I didn't reciprocate by showing it to her from the start.
Pag may nagtatanong how I proposed parang napapahiya sya at ako kasi ng parang balewala lng ginawa ko.
I just hope with this advise I could influence yun magpropose pa lang not to make the same mistake I did.
