Engagement Ring/ Proposal : You Do or you Don't

[iceprince]

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

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...

Wow...social...fine dining restaurant...
And i didn't think na may asawa ka na sir fayt...
Congratulations...hahaha
 

Pero, tell me or us, what is her reaction when you gave her the box with the ring inside?
And I know na may kasamang pick up line yan or ninja moves para mas lalong sumaya ang very special occasion...

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
