Mr. Hot Wings had Future Mother in Law Hot Wing (FMIL), Future Sister in Law Hot Wing (FSIL), and Woman of Honor Hot Wings probe for what I thought was pretty for months! The problem was, I really had no idea. I really liked emerald cuts but really thought they would be too expensive. So I told everyone I wanted a radiant cut diamond and that I wanted a thin band so the ring would look delicate on my short and stubby looking fingers. I also liked the more vintage looking rings with engraving.

So, even though everyone told Mr. Hot Wings that I wanted a radiant cut diamond, he decided I would like the emerald cut better. HE WAS SOO RIGHT! Everything about this ring is oh-so-me! I’ve been wearing it for over a year now, and I still stare at it in awe. In all honesty, I don’t think that I would have picked out a ring so perfect. So in the end, I am so glad to not have been a part of the ring picking/buying process.

** A hint to those buying the ring and trying to be sneaky like Mr. Hot Wings. If you’re going to sneak a ring from your partner’s jewelry box for the ring size, pay close attention to which finger s/he wears the ring on. I always wore my cocktail rings on my middle finger. So my engagement ring that was made for a size 5.5 is now a 4.5.

Did your fiancé follow other’s advice or go out on a limb and get what s/he thought you would like?
