While you might be keen on going ring shopping, your partner might be all in for the surprise proposal and that can make things tricky. Maybe you have your heart set on an antique piece, maybe you want to be spoiled in Tiffany and try on absolutely everything, or maybe you're just a bit of a control freak. All of these reasons are perfectly valid, but it's a good idea to discuss them with your partner. Choosing your ring together can feel really special. It's another part of your story as a partnership. You're not suggesting that your partner is going to make the wrong choice, just that you want it to be something that you share together.
