Is proposing when you don't even know what ring size your partner wears really the wisest idea? This is how those videos of a big public proposal where the proposee says no start.
The proposal itself shouldnt be a surprise, when it happens should.
Like, you should know they want to marry you before you do it. But the whole ceremony of a formal proposal can and should be left a surprise!
+1 - proposals never should be a surprise
I did have a friend who was proposed to with a placeholder ring. I think the jeweler sold the fiancé a ring and said he could come back/return it and have her pick out one she wants. That said, she preferred a diamond as opposed to an alternative so it was easier finding a jeweler that was accommodating.
Some people enjoy the surprise of when a proposal happens (as long as both parties are previously aligned on getting married).
Everyone’s got their preferences! Some people want the ring as a surprise and some would rather pick it out together, etc. And some are like my other friend, who wanted no proposal, picked out the ring herself, had her fiancé buy it, and called it a day!
I didn't know my fiance's ring size, surprise surprise she didn't know either, I got her friend to check it during the friends hens party. But overall if you're not oblivious, you should know if your other half wants the proposal.
Couldn't agree more. By the time you're ready to propose, not only should you already know their ring size, the other person should also be aware of your plans well in advance.
Springing a proposal on someone without discussing it with them beforehand is beyond fucked up.
Actual tip that was passed to me:
Talk to a jeweler in advance, then bring the significant other in to do some casual jewelry window shopping.
Jewelers get this request often, and most love to be in on a mini-heist.
Your jeweler can discreetly steer the interaction to get their ring size and either announce it in front of you, or just jot it down for you to pick up later.
Even if you get caught, it's just flattering to your significant other that you went to the trouble.
Most jewelers will also happily sell you a ring with a free resize service.
Stop spreading this censorship cancer
I downvote any self censorship nonsense I encounter
Here's the original. It's so old and popular that it's the first hit in a reverse image search 🤷♂️
Start spreading buttcheeks
SPREAD CHEEKS NOT CENSORSHIP
Instructions unclear, potato stuck in anus
Now you know if her ring is as big as a potato!
Or you just got engaged to a potato. Depending on which instructions you attempted to follow.
Normalise down voting posts with this bullshit censorship.
I do. I like to let people know why though. Seems fair to me.

Anus isn't even a bad word, this is getting out of control.
Definitely. Did we miss the Mormon take over or something i didn’t see it in the news
Tbf, you just described the past 10 months
Ah so it was actually the evangelicals
Right!? Are we just not allowed to reference certain body parts anymore? How are the Republicans at their next convention going to explain where they want the twink they hit up on Grindr where they want dat dick?
What the fuck is an “a::s”
A shorthand for 000a:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:000s. It's part of the alphabet v6 spec.
I love that this is an accurate expansion of a::s if s was in hex
It's in base 36.
They censored anus
Ya don’t fucking say.
No cursing on my fucking social media algorithm

And if she says no, you still got fingered twice!
Pragmatic!
Anybody uses their ring finger for fingering? Asking for OP.
If he comes back with an engagement bracelet we'll know what their kink is
I think they're called anal beads.
sure fun for your wedding night.

Fun fact: that's actually the original reason we use rings to propose!
Don't people normally aim slightly larger then go back to get it resized?
