I don’t love my engagement ring. I wish my fiancé had picked it out with me instead of with his mom. He doesn’t want to change the ring either and was really upset when I brought up potentially modifying it. The ring I want (my dream ring) is $4,000 less. The cut, band, and setting are all opposite of what I wanted. :/ i feel like an A hole for even thinking about changing it. Just sucks

Girl, you’ll have the ring on your hand hopefully for the rest of your life, you should have something you love. The fact that he’s not listening to you is already a big red flag, talk to him again and tell him exactly what you want

I’m going to let the subject cool for a few weeks and then ask again. Because I completely agree.

I’m considering resetting mine. Our wedding is in 3 months and now that we have to pick out bands I feel like we’d waste even more money in the long run when I having to match a band to my engagement ring only to do it again later to match the new one. I wanted gold and I feel like an a hole too but you’re the one wearing it and should love it!

Yes! Totally get you. Go for it now and just explain you don’t want to waste more money later on.

There was no discussion beforehand? I literally showed my setting to my fiance. The actual diamond was for him to figure out

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night.

I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)
