CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Who cares man? Do what you want to do and use your best common sense. You know the girl.
I can't think of one reason why a girl wouldn't want to be surprised w/a ring. If shes the type that wouldn't like a surprise like that then i'd like to cross her off my list. LOL
I would hope that any girl that i pick to marry would be flattered beyond belief even if the ring was a fruit loop.

Just wanna dance with you
Tuffguy is right
On another note, what about wedding ring sets? I don't understand that concept. Could someone please inform me? Is one of the rings the engagement ring and then the other one is the one you get at the actual ceremony and they sort of fit together? That's what it seems to be, but some people just get an engagement ring and then wedding ring later. So what do you do with the engagement ring once you get the wedding ring? I'm a little confused!

Traditionally, an engagment ring was the fancier ring and the wedding band a simpler ring, and after the wedding they were both worn together. Many women took their rings to the jewelers and had the rings soldered together.Living4Him03 said:
So, a set would be like, a diamond solitaire engagement ring, with a simpler wedding band (perhaps with diamond chips?) that fit nicely together as one.

If I picked out a ring for my sweetheart, and I had spent hours searching for and selecting the ring I thought he/she would love, and presented it to them only to hear, "I really hate this, can I get another?" I would be so heart broken. If I take the time to buy a very expensive gift, that would just hurt. SO, if you think your perspective spouse is not going to appreciate your efforts, either your with the wrong person, or you need to ensure that you go shopping together.
On a side note, when my husband proposed to me, he had no money (he had been sick in the hospital) He proposed to me as I was standing at his bedside, and he asked me to marry him and put one of his own silver rings on my hand. At that point, it wouldn't have mattered if that ring was a pop-top from a Pepsi can. To me it was the most beautiful thing in the world, and I wore it like it was. And you know what? We have great stories to tell about that. I would never have dreamed of dashing him down by telling him that HIS gift to me wasn't good enough.
We finally got our set last year. The one we both wanted, and could finally afford. And that's another story altogether, lol.

I agree...a complete surprise would be ideal for me - even if he did (literally) have a rock for me. lol

I'd want to be surprised.... and I would hope that my boyfriend would know me well enough to know I prefer white gold to yellow gold. But I wouldnt care if it was a diamond or not...
My ex bought be a yellow gold ring... because it "had" to be gold, otherwise it was breaking some kind of rule.

...the guys can answer my question too...
But, how do you know the ring size of the woman you are going to ask if you want to keep it a secret? I mean, I don't understand how you can get a ring without the proper ring size. Is there some kind of hidden rule I don't know about? LOL, sorry if this is a dumb question but I have always wondered this.

One thing... ask her mom/best friend what size ring she wears. Average size is 7 I believe. I've also heard that a girls ring size is equal to her shoe size. I don't know how reliable that fact is though.Wild_Fan4Christ said:
Or another thing... when she's not looking, go into her jewelery box, and take a ring that she doesn't wear (she probably wont notice, if she doesn't wear it), and take it to a jeweler or wherever you are buying the ring from, and have them match the size.

Clever!
Except you have to be careful, because there is usually a slight different in size between the right and left ring fingers.Wow, I guess those of us who want to be surprised really make it hard on you guys! I'm sorry.
But it's still really romantic if you've gone to all that trouble for us.
