we did it with just the two of us. he totally surprised my while laying in bed. i was ticked off because he kept pretending to give me the ring, and then when he really did slip it on in the dark, i was shocked.

You really need to take into account what type of gal she is. Is she the kind that wants it done "classically" i.e. after a nice dinner, on bended knee? is she about spectical? would she love for you to do it in front of a lot ofpeople?

It just depends on what she would NOT expect!

Tape it to your unit and take her out for a really nice dinner.. then afterwards when you get home she'll notice it in what turns out to be a funny moment. A really great story for your parents, too

How romantic. :p

"Mom, how did daddy ask you to marry him?"
"Mommy said, 'No more BJs until you get down on your knee with a ring' and daddy caved instantly. Daddy loves his BJs."
"Gross mom."

That's your first mistake..
Ring should be no smaller than 1 carat.
Women likes to show off and compare.. 1 carat is acceptable to most occasions.
If it's less than 1 carat, the often feel inferior to other women..

Women are like that..

Not true.... the carat is simply the weight of the diamond.... if you get a .8 or better with good table dimensions and a good sized girdle... it can actually be bigger than a 1 carat. Furthermore... depending on your budget you may decide you want to go quality over size.... it really depends on the girl. My GF for example would rather have a .85 F VS2 than a 1.0 H SI1, which are approx the same price range.

White gold does, too as the powdercoat wears away and exposes the yellowish metal underneath, but you can get it recoated periodically.

Platinum is also suprisingly heavy.
