Give her dad a courtesy heads up and then buy the engagement ring only. She picks the wedding band she wants before the wedding.
Told her parents I'm going to ask her to marry me. Also told the partner I need her help to choose out the ring. I figured if she's going to have to wear it for a long time that she might as well get one she likes. I still held back the cards of when and how I ask her to marry me.
Congrats man, all the best
Bought the ring today. Classic solitare, 1k, rosegold. Had almost perfect clarity, cut, and colour. I thought the sales person was tugging my dick when she said she'd never seen one that perfect at such a low price. I called her shit and asked for the independent appraiser's slip. Sure enough, 12,000$ diamond.
EDIT- this is all to say that even though I dropped more cash than I'd care to, I still feel like I came away alright. And the GF is happy, if you take that into consideration.
