Back on January 18th I proposed to my fiance,but we did not have much money so I got her a ring from Wal Mart with an Amethyst stone in it which it is my birthstone,and since it is purple it is also her favorite color,I snuck several candles into our room and lit them,and I put our song on our c.d. player,and paused it,while she was in the den watching television,and I came out and told her I had rearranged something in the room and I wanted her to look at it,when she came in I hit the play button on the remote to the c.d. player and then I had her sit down on the bed while I asked her to marry me,and she said yes,and it was the happiest day of my life,well the other day my mom came in with a paper that showed a really nice ring that allows you to inscribe two names on it along with two birthstones,and she was talking about it would probably make a better engagement ring then the one I had gotten,especially since the one she is wearing now is turning her finger green because it is made of nickle,this ring is only thirty nine dollars and ninety nine cents which is a very good price,and you can either get it in silver or gold plated,and we decided to get this as an engagement ring so we ordered it with both our names and both our birthstones and me and my fiance both like gold so we got it gold plated instead of silver,I had like twenty five dollars in my bank account,and my mom had given me back some money she borrowed from me along with a little more money to make sure I had enough to cover it,so we ordered it last night,the site said they would not charge the money until it had shipped,but they charged it anyway,and today we went up to the bank and deposited the money so the ring is covered,and it is supposed to take two to three weeks to get here,which our one year anniversary is September 28th and is about two weeks from now,so hopefully the ring will be here on our anniversary so I can propose to her again,I love her with all my heart and soul,and I can not wait until the day we get married so she can take my last name,and I can call her my wife,and she can call me her husband,Do you think it is okay for me to get this ring and propose again?If you were in my shoes would you buy a ring like this and propose again?If so,why would you want to get another ring?If not,why would you want to stick with the ring you already have?I will appreciate all responses I get to this discussion,and I will also appreciate all mylotters who treat the discussion with the seriousness it deserves,and give me honest straight forward responses,and as a mylotter myself,I promise that I will comment on all responses I get,but the quality of my comments will depend on the quality of the responses,have a great day.

I think that your decision to buy this new ring is a very romantic and caring one. The amethyst stone has very special powers, and as your birth stone will still be in the new ring, but the ring used in your original proposal will certainly always have great sentimental value, and I'm glad she's decided to wear it around her neck. The new ring should have special powers for you both, as it has both birthstones in it, and I think it's wonderful that you should want to propose again. How very sweet of your Mum to suggest the ring she had seen and also to help you to obtain it. I have the feeling that the two of you are going to be very happy together and send you my brightest blessings for a long and successful future together.
Take care, my friend.

Hi, congratulations to you both. And it is so sweet to have thought of getting another new ring and even to use the present one to propose again to your fiancee. I would be very happy to have a new ring that both would agree on . But then to use the old one and propose again in a romantic atmosphere would be indeed wonderful and memorable. I wish you both happiness in your life journey together.
Cheers,

I think it is sweet that you want to get her another ring. It is probably a good idea since the other one is turning her finger green. Just be careful with the new ring because if she wears it every day the gold plating will eventually wear off on the inside. You may want to get a solid gold band as the actual wedding ring and then she can wear the other one only on special occassions after you are married to prolong the life of the ring.
I am glad you got your bank account fixed. Banking issues are never any fun.

I am glad that you like the fact that I am getting her another ring since the old one is turning her finger green,and I will tell her that the gold plating could wear off,and we have not decided on a wedding ring as of yet,but that is on our wedding to do list,and yeah I know that banking issues are never fun,and I am also glad that I got it fixed,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I think that even if you didn't propose I would still accept the ring. It's a beautiful ring and I am glad your mom showed us the ring. I hate that it put a hold on your account but am so glad that we caught it last night and went to the bank this morning and got the whole mess sorted out. I know you were just as shocked as I was that your account was in the negative because mine was just the day before. I will keep the first engagement ring you gave me and wear it around my neck, just like I wear your class ring. I love you.

That is very sweet baby,and I am glad you will still accept the ring if I proposed with it or not,it is a very beautiful ring,and I am also glad that my mom showed it to us,and it sucks that it put my account on hold,but I am also glad that we caught it in time,to get it straightened out before I had to pay the overdraft fee,and it is still a shock that my account was in the negative,since your account went into the negative not too long ago,I am glad that you will keep the first engagement ring and wear it around your neck just like you wear my class ring,I love you with all my heart and soul and can not wait until we get married,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck with achieving all your mylot goals,and Happy Posting.

It seems like your fiancee would enjoy the ring whether you propose again or not. You two stay happy together.
