All right, so here's the story.
The girlfriend and I were supposed to take a cross country ride this Summer. She hasn't been to visit back East in years, (our plans to move to Montreal last year went to Hell) and it was going to be a chance for me to finally meet her father and some of her other family. She took a new job that lets us both take weekends off, the downside is that she won't be able to take the time off for such a long trip.
I was going to propose somewhere along the ride, so I've been looking for a Plan B.
She's decided that she wants to go skydiving the day before her birthday. Her sister and her sister's fiance are coming, and hopefully some of her close friends, too. I can be kinda slow on the uptake, but as I was on the front step today having my morning coffee, the penny dropped. PERFECT!
I can't really ask any of our friends for advice, this can be a smaller town than you'd think, word gets around pretty quick.
So, here's where I could use a hand. I don't know jack shit about rings. We're both big, rough, outdoorsy and active. Stuff gets broken around us, just a fact of life, so some wafer thin trinket ain't gonna cut it. I saw some titanium engagement rings a while back, mentioned them in conversation, and she liked the idea. Gonna spend the next couple of days doing some research while she thinks I'm resting up after my last contract.
I'm wondering if anyone here's got some helpful advice on how to pick out/order a ring. I'm going to need it by the last week of May and I'll probably need to use my bonus cheque, (which comes in on the 20th) to pay the bulk of the cost. She'd clue in pretty quick if my next paycheque suddenly vanished, (although she probably knew a few days before I even thought of it).
Any other helpful hints or anecdotes are totally appreciated. I worked in restaurants & bars for years and cringed/laughed at a lot of proposals gone wrong. I figure not dropping the ring on the way down from the plane would be a good start. ;D
