Not sure when exactly I will pop the question, but I know she's the one and need to put it on lockdown.. so somtime in the 'near' future.
Although I have a small idea of what she likes, she is rather picky and rather than going out myself and probably picking something she won't like, I want us to go together to pick out her engagement ring (more and more common these days).
When a man does all the ring stuff himself, he can pop the question out of nowhere which makes it a true surprise. If we get the ring together, well.. there really is no surprise.
So I guess my question is, what would be a good idea to ask her to marry me without a ring? I figure, she is marrying me, not the ring (although she definitely wants one) and she knows I have a sarcastic sense of humor. Maybe put a ringpop and an IOU note inside a real ring box? Bad idea? lol. I can't go pick out the ring with her and then a month or two later ask her cus she know's it's coming, obviously.
Any help would be appreciated :)
Oh yea.. I'm new and very inexperienced in this stuff, as you can tell.
