babyangelbling, Since HE is going to finance most of this project I have to respect some of his feelings. And his feeling on the stone size was the only input he got to give. He was upset about that. I hate surprises and he wants to pick the ring and all that and then surprise propose. I told him I will customize a ring and then you can propose when your ready. I mentioned a bigger center stone, but he wants it to be believable to his buddies that it could be a real diamond, so, In that aspect that was the only input he got into this ering project so I chose to respect it since I want him to finance most of it. lol

and that way he no longer can make excuses why we cannot get a ring. I don't like waiting either! lol
