@ Aproko, tanx a million. The funny thing is: she's already shopping for all three rings. I would have liked to give her the ring myself but she's very fastidious about such things. She doesn't even like the so called conventional engagement ring no matter how many carats it's worth so I left her to make the choice since am very indifferent about rings. I was even contaplating not wearing one until it got to her ears and you can imagine the rest. I use to dream of giving my fiancee an engagement ring but it seems the opportunity just passed me by , I was probably too busy thinking of the real thing.

I think it is essential!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice advice, I really appreciate the way you fellas reacted to the questions but the problem here is that I also would want to engage my LOVER (fiancee) of over three years relationship but what I am thinking is am I in the right frame of mind to pop the question that would eitther make or mar our love life together as lovers.

Please also I need a rough estimate of how much a good ring will cost.

@macgozy
are you married now, just checking. A good ring will cost you from 25k upwards.

yes ooo, he has 2 get me 1 before proposing

teaser: i proposed to my wife to be without an engagement ring,2 days after she bought one for me to put on her finger

does not have to but could borrow from .... A friend... Maybe.
