Let's Dream A Little

Becoming engaged is a special event, and you may want to make the engagement ring every bit as special and unique as the lady in you life is. Unfortunately, "unique" usually costs quite a bit extra. If you are fortunate enough to have an unlimited budget, here are just a few ideas to make your engagement all that much more special and "unique".

First of all, let's talk about the engagement ring. You can find engagement rings by the tens of thousands. Once you begin looking you'll find they are everywhere in abundance. You will also find that most of them look pretty similar with varying differences in style. Why not consider having a custom engagement ring made just for her? The ring can be designed in white or yellow gold or even in platinum, and can be a one of a kind design.

Instead of a traditional style engagement ring mounting, consider beginning with a fashion style ring,and adding diamonds to it. These ring mountings are the same one used to be worn by ladies every day to enhance their hands and wardrobes. But, if you design a special one for her, you can add diamonds to it, and have a wedding band fit to the unusual style.

Instead of begining with a standard ring mounting, you might want to design one just for her, and make the engagement a "memory" ring. For instance, if the two of you have been together for 5 years, you can add 5 diamonds to begin with. Then you can add another diamond each anniversary, until it is a totally spectacular one of a kind diamond ring. One advantage of this approach is you will always know just what to get her for your anniversary. You may not want to limit the diamond additions to just anniversaries. There's no reason you can't also add a diamond for other special events like her birthdays or the birth of children. This way the ring will not only represent your marriage, it will also be a glorious reminder of your entire life together.

Or how about setting a ring with colored diamonds? Many people don't even know diamonds come in colors and she will have something very special. Just be prepared to pay a premiumprice for the colored diamonds. They are rare and can be quite expensive.

And of course, once you have a custom ring designed for her, you will want a special way to present it, making the moment one she will never forget. Here you can allow your imagination to run wild. You can go the traditional route getting down on one knee in private, but how about a couple of other more spectacular ideas.

Why not send her a dozen long stemmed red roses at work, with the ring attached to them, and a note saying: "Will you marry me?" Or how about going to where she works and propose to her there. And of course while you're at it, why not include a violinist to serenade the two of you as you propose. Of course, these arrangements should probably be cleared with her employer ahead of time. You wouldn't want to get her engaged and fired at the same time.

For another idea, how about taking her out to a fancy restaurant for dinner. After dinner the waiter can bring her a little cake for dessert with "Will you marry me?" written on it. As soon as she sees the top of the cake, you can get down on one knee right there and present the engagement ring to her. She will be completely blown away by a gesture like this, and will certainly say yes.

How's this for another idea? Why not hire several musicians to serenade outside her home. In fact, if you're going this far, you can also bring bunches of flowers to line her front walk. Just imagine her reaction when she opens the front door to see where the music is coming from, and she sees you on one knee with all the beautiful flowers. You are very likely to get yourself kissed, and your proposal accepted.

Whether you take her on a cruise and propose to her there, or do something as simple as freezing the engagement ring in an ice cube in her glass of wine at dinner, or even tying it to a teddy bear and leaving it on her pillow, you will want to make your proposal as special as the woman you love. It's an event that will warm her heart and that she will talk about for the rest of your lives together.
