Whether you have been in a relationship for a few months, years or decades, the thought of engagement rings has most likely crossed your mind. I'm certain this topic has come across the mind of your loved one, as well. The point is that at some time in the relationship, there will be talk of engagement. However, there is a way to continue this conversation in a positive way and then there's the wrong way. Many of these bridal no-no's often start out as a nice thought, but they can be taken the wrong way. Here are just a few for you to stay as far away from as possible. Knowing exactly what you want in a ring is perfectly fine. Harassing your significant other with the lengthy list of requirements is not. Do not drag your boyfriend or girlfriend into every fine jewelry store that comes across your path. This can be seen as pushy and it may send them running rather than shopping. Unless you have been specifically asked to send your beloved a link to your favorite selection of rings, do not send them to his email. This one will be deleted faster than you can catch a bouquet at a friend's wedding! The last common mistake that I have seen over and over again is making him overly aware of your pre-planning. Alerting him to the “Someday...” board that you have compiled on Pinterest, full of your ideal wedding decor, colors, jewelry and venue ideas can be seen as crazy as keeping a few heads in the freezer. Also, remember that many of these social media sites work in tandem and that your secret idea board might not be as secret as you think.
