It's Not A Engagement Ring If You Buy It For Yourself

en·gage·ment ring
noun1.
a ring given by a man to a woman when they agree to marry.

Now understand me, I am all for women going after what they want. So if you feel the need to pop the big question, please do. But can you call it a engagement ring if you pick and pay for your own ring?

Last night King (my husband) and I was talking about a story I came across when on a wedding blog. And in this story a young woman tell us, her and her boyfriend had been together for some time and she was ready to get married. However he hadn't stepped up and asked her to marry him. So she took upon herself to go out pick and pay for her own ring.

She didn't talk this out with him and he didn't go with her to do this little project. If I recall she isn't even going to tell him she paid for this ring. I am going to give you her plan step by step.. or as I remember it.

Step 1: Buy own engagement ring
Step 2: Give it to a friend, who will give it to her boyfriend
Step 3: Have her friend lie and say they called off their engagement, and no longer wanted the ring.
Now her plan is for him to take this ring and then give it to her.

It is so many things wrong with her (Plan). Like if he isn't ready to get married. He already have a for her. Or if he finds out what she has done behind his back.

King and I feel like even if he takes the ring, it isn't an engagement ring. So now I have to bring it to y'all. Is it an engagement ring if you buy your own ring.
