Any ideas on a way to propose without it until it gets here?

We had a weekend at the beach lined up, and I was gonna do it on the beach. Won't be able to do it again for a while

Time is a concern

If there's a way to do it without it being too stupid before the ring gets here, much rather do that than just propose at the house

Just be honest with her, tell her you had the ring set up, but it didnt arrive in time despite your planning. You can make it romantic without the ring, the event and question is more important than the symbol.

either that propose with a ring pop and tell her the diamond is on its way and its the stand in till then.

How do I handle giving her the actual ring if I've already proposed is another question

It has until Saturday to arrive

Propose with the fake saying sorry the real ring didn't come in time. Also why are you unable to postpone?

you make her a fancy dinner, dress up the box and tell her this what she was waiting for. Dont overthink it, enjoy the moment.

when I proposed, the ring was the wrong size and wouldnt stay on. Its the gesture and you saying you want forever with that person that matter most.

Get something lined up for the next weekend as well. Then after you propose and she says yes, you can explain that you were going to do it the prior weekend, but it didn't arrive. You wanted to propose during a special moment, so you put together another one quickly for the following weekend just for her.

Don't think I can, but could try

Id go with this.

I proposed just over two weeks ago and I feel like the ring was far less important to her than it was to me.

I wouldn't do it without the ring personally. Just wait. If you can't get to the beach again soon, think of another special way to do it.

Sure.

I worried a lot about getting the right one but ultimately, she was just pleased that Id bought one. I feel like I probably could have spent a lot less than I did.

We can be weird about it. She had shown me one she really liked but it was only $30 and she didn't want an expensive one, but I told her I have to spend more on it

The one I bought was $6.5k. Now feels pretty unnecessary.

Gotta have the ring to make it special. Otherwise its a memory with a flaw attached. Try to post pone the trip till the ring arrives or hold off proposing until the next big event occurs.

Its all relative, mate. That was a month of my normal income once my charitable donations were taken out.

For others, Im sure its a lot of money. But then there are people that would think my offering is cheap and shit.

Its your relationship that matters. Not the ring.

Think the one I got was 400 for her, she initially thought I was going do her grandmothers ring, but I wanted to get her something of her own, I was picky on style cause I knew what kind of work she was going towards as well, so its low profile and doesnt get caught on things.

again, the event is the core of the memory. The ring is a symbol of it, but the memory is the important part

A lot depends on how she sees the ring - someone with a funny sense of humor might appreciate giving a ring pop with a note though that would be a terrible thing to do for another person

Either way congrats buddy!

This is good advice. Try to remember that it isnt her moment. Its a moment for the two of you to share.
