Just toying with the idea here. I am thinking about proposing in the next year and I never expected I would be in this position.
My sister was just proposed to and dude must have spent like 10 grand on the ring. I think she feels like he spent too much. It looks like the friggin thing weighs her whole hand down.
Also do you think it is misogynist to ask the lady’s dad for permission?
I think I spent 20 euros on a ring I thought was cute (and resizable, because I didn’t know her ring size), and we later bought wedding rings together.
I also called her father beforehand, but more like “Hey, I thought you’d like to know that I’m planning to do this”, and he was like “That’s awesome, have fun!”.
