+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 was just at the hometown of the Michelin tire and they’re so proud that their metro and tram lines all use rubber tires. It certainly did not make the ride any quieter or smoother.
