BF and I went serious ring shopping on Saturday
Prior to this it's been window-browsing, then asking 'where are the, ahem, diamonds, please' and some sniffing round the counters trying on the odd thing if a SA offered. But Saturday BF marched in and straight away asked to see "ENGAGEMENT RINGS" - I'm such a dork, I felt so proud of him marching in there all confident and excited! He was pleased with himself because he reckons his budget would get us close to a carat even in Rip Off Ireland and he's delighted with how large that looks on my hand. I think he's dead chuffed he can afford to buy me something that looks so impressive, for some reason he thought all he'd be able to afford would be a wee speck. He got all the details written down and then told me to go and find out what similar would cost on the PS search engine. He was reeeeally into it. I am beyond giddy
And, very romantically, we seem to agree totally on settings and what we think looks good. We both like VERY plain settings, a fluid solitaire with a plain band. Oh, and a big ol' diamond on top

I just wanted to share my update because I'm so giddy!
