My fiance surprised me with this GORGEOUS ring while on a Valentine's Day walk through Vancouver's Stanley Park. Knowing how much I love the ocean, he took me to the edge of the water and after joking that this weekend away was my Valentine's Day gift, he retracted that statement and presented me with this ring! We both agree that he is off the hook for Valentine's Day for the rest of his life! We are now planning a July 2010 wedding in Oregon's wine country. -- JenniferSnyder

This ring was custom designed by my fiance. He proposed in Guam. -- Iriarte

This is my beautiful ring that has a Precision Set setting with a separate center diamond that was hand chosen by my fiance. My fiance proposed on the 50-yard line of Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He returned from Iraq that day and surprised me in the center of the stadium with this gorgeous ring. We met while we were both attending the University of Alabama. I was the first girl he took to a football game, and we are avid fans. I absolutely love my ring and my sweet man! -- ShanJosh12

My fiance had a family jeweler design this ring based on the handful of engagement rings I had tried on and liked. The band is handcarved with a leaf design, and the diamonds are as perfect as they come. I couldn't have asked for a better ring. -- sarahlings

He did so good! The ring is ideal cut (very sparkly). He proposed the day after Thanksgiving in front of all of my family. -- mseyes

My fiance appears to know me better than I know myself -- he picked this amazing classic, quirky, and retro-style ring made from an old art deco design and surprised me with it the evening before we went on a trip to Paris. -- maeveohara

My fiance proposed to me in the kitchen and asked me to share the adventure of our lives together. He had the ring custom designed at a local jeweler. The band is sculpted to look like lotus leaves, and the diamond is held in place by dainty petals. It is symbolic of the jewel in the lotus in Buddhist thought, which is the treasure that exists in every heart. The gift of Love. -- Maravelous

My love designed this himself! We spent all day in San Francisco, just the two of us. I was miserable, I missed our two daughters so much. We got back on the train to go home, and then that night, once I had both girls in my arms, he got down on one knee and proposed. It was perfect! -- Kadydidit

My fiance and I work together as corporate event managers. On one particular rainy Friday, he took off from work -- supposedly to go to the doctor. Him being off meant that I had to cover for him on a client meeting. I walked all the way from my NYC Midtown office to the Waldorf-Astoria to meet a vehicle filled with clients. When the limo pulled up, instead of meeting planners, my fiance jumped out and proposed -- right there on the street in front of the Waldorf! Afterward he arranged for both of our immediate families to have a party back at my parents' house. -- LDL1023

Christmas morning my fiance asked me to marry him in front of the Christmas tree. We've known each other for seven and a half years and have lived together for a little over a year. Of course I told him to "shut up" -- not one of my finer moments! The center stone is surrounded by three stones on the right and three stones on the left. It sparkles so much people constantly comment. I love it and the man who gave it to me. -- cupcake207

My fiance wrote and played me a song on the guitar and had me read a poem he wrote. Down the left side of the poem it read "Will you marry me?" I read it three times before he told me to look down the left side -- when I saw the "secret" message he was on his knee with this beautiful pearl and white gold ring. -- BrideBeka

I told my boyfriend that I wanted a non-traditional engagement ring. I love my ring so much, it's sparkly and exciting and like nothing I've ever seen. -- Ksoderstrom

After watching a gorgeous sunrise in Sedona, Arizona, my fiance proposed to me with this beautiful ring that he designed. I look at it all day, every day, and can't help but smile. -- julybride2be

I wanted a ring that looked different from all the rings I see all the time. This ring exceeded my expectations, and I get compliments on it almost every day. -- Marthafan76

My fiancee proposed when we were out to lunch with his family at one of their favorite restaurants. I ordered spaghetti with meatballs and the meatball came with a beautiful diamond ring sticking out of it! The entire restaurant (including the waitstaff) started clapping and congratulating us. It was the perfect Italian proposal! -- hannah87

My fiance and I had plans to go to our favorite Italian restaurant for our third anniversary; but two days before we both came down with the flu. We had a good sense of humor about it, so we spent the night together on the couch watching "Jeopardy" and drinking ginger ale. Unbeknownst to me, Peter had planned to propose over dinner that night. He was not to be deterred, and so even though I fell asleep well before midnight, he set his watch to wake him up at the official beginning of our anniversary and shook me awake. Of course I grumbled that nothing could possibly be so important, but I was proved wrong when I opened my eyes and found him on his knee, ring box in hand. -- daisybride82011

A fall break from the stresses of school and work turned into a romantic weekend with family and new fiance via a message in a bottle. -- drewbcool

My fiance and I met during our final year of college, when we lived across the street from each other. Three years later we were driving through Providence on our way to Cape Cod and he stopped outside our old apartments to propose! He said he wanted to "come full circle." The three diamonds are from my mother's 10-year anniversary ring, and my fiance designed the band to achieve the vintage look I so love. -- mduffey6

I am a Disney intern, and my fiance is a Marine. We made it through a deployment, and at last he was able to come see me at work. He proposed during the fireworks at EPCOT, my favorite, knowing how much I love the show. It was perfect. -- imyewneek

This "oui" ring is similar to one featured in the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings. This couple was engaged in Bellingham, Washington. -- sheilacarsonphotography

My fiance and I had been dating for close to five years when he proposed. We were taking our holiday pictures for Christmas cards with our dogs when he popped the question. We went down by a creek to take some pictures, and he told me to cover my eyes. At first I was thinking it was some cheesy pose for a picture. Then he told me to open them. When I did I found him down on one knee. The best part of all was the photographer caught it all on camera. This was a ring that I admired in a magazine the year prior to our engagement. -- Blandina
