"I know on lots of levels, you do: It will always remind you of your sweet guy and your sweet proposal story. But would I have picked out the one I proudly sport on my ring finger? Not so much. And admitting this caused quite the kerfuffle with my in-laws, who were with Paul when he bought my ring and know just how much it cost (I&amp;amp;#8217;m still clueless about how much he spent on the ring) and how excited he was to buy it. So even though I prefer daintier styles&amp;amp;#8212;call me crazy, but I think the band is a little too chunky&amp;amp;#8212;I won&amp;amp;#8217;t trade it in. Why? Because it&amp;amp;#8217;s the ring that Paul thought would be perfect for me. It&amp;amp;#8217;s the ring that Paul hoped and prayed wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t set off the security alarms at the airport before we boarded our plane to Paris (yes, he proposed in Paris). It&amp;amp;#8217;s the ring that makes me remember how Paul quoted a line from The Wedding Singer, one of my favorite movies, in his heartfelt proposal. And it&amp;amp;#8217;s the ring that took our very long relationship to the next level. Paul swears he&amp;amp;#8217;s okay with me getting a new ring, or at least a new diamond (we were only 23 when we got engaged, so of course a huge, flawless rock wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t in the budget), but I just can&amp;amp;#8217;t do it. So tell me: Is your engagement ring what you always hoped it would be? Did you pick it out yourself or rely on your guy to get it right? Would you exchange your ring for one you like even better?
