If you are engaged or married, did you or your oh choose your engagement ring?

If you are engaged or married, did you or your oh choose your engagement ring?
My husband designed my ring and had it made from my grandmothers and mothers engagement and wedding rings. It has a half carat diamond in the middle and 8 smaller diamonds, 4 down each side. It is made in 18ct yellow gold and is very broad, to match my wedding ring.
I have to admit I was dreading seeing it for the first time because he sometimes chooses some horrors for me. But it is beautiful.
ETA I think it is plain and classic enough to go with everything and not date. The only problem is that the two rings are so thick that I have to wear my claddagh from our church wedding on my right hand.
Answer:
No use at all re: title as am still waiting for Mr BB to pop the question :D but that ring sounds gorgeous puddy, do you have a pic?
Answer:
I only have very bad ones!
Answer:
No ring for me as I've no intention of getting married or engaged, but I think if I were, I'd probably help him pick it - or drop huge hints about the kind of thing I like. But he has pretty good taste, so I'm sure if left to his own devices he'd pick out something perfect.
Personally, I'd go for a vintage art deco ring.
Puddy - yours does sound beautiful - and it's so nice to have something with some history and sentimental value to it as well.
Answer:
Can we still see it anyway? Pretty please!

    Good places for bra measuring?
    I desperately need some new bras as all of mine are either ancient and manky, have been eaten by the washing machine or just dont fit!
    I cant spend a fortune and I dont have a bravissimo or anything nearby, so it'll have to be high street.

    Answer:
    don't go to Debenhams or La Senza....
    They both seem to have dropped measuring the cupsize just do back size now :confused:
    Answer:
    Bra Measuring
    Okies, Marks and Spencer are fantastic. I went to their shop in the Centre of Birmingham and are fantastic, and they will go searching the rails untill one fits perfect.
    As for Bravissimo, I havent got measured there, but if you go to their webiste, they send you out a free catalouge.
    I have very big boobs and when it comes to big bras, I found Bravissimos far more fashionable than other brands and shops!
    Hope this helps! :)

    Answer:
    The best place I have ever been is John Lewis. MS were completely wrong for me.
    I also tried La Senza - they do only measure your back now and really on judgement for the cup size. I'm not convinced by this method didnt seem wholly reliable to me but i've found that certain shapes fit me better than others.

    Are for all mankind jeans same sizing as diesel and citizens of humanity?
    Hi, am thinking about getting a pair of Seven For all Mankind jeans off E-Bay.
    Im 28inch waist Diesel Jeans and Citizens of humanity jeans.
    Ive heard the sizing are quite small, so would I best off getting a 29inch waist?
    Thanks if anyone can help :)
    Answer:
    Depends on the model and material. A-pockets and non-stretch come a bit small, stretch bootcut are rather generously sized. Best to try them on in a shop first before bidding.
    Btw, there are som many fakes on ebay that you are better off ordering them from US shops.
    Answer:
    Yeah I was a bit wary of fakes, all the jeans Ive looked at off e-bay say they are authentic, but you never know I suppose!!!
    May nip into Selfridges tomorrow to try some on.
    When you say USA shops, can you give me some examples please?
    Answer:
    Sure

    Seeking black bootcut jeans
    I'm after a pair of dark black, bootcut jeans to wear this Friday. However all the shops seem to be full of skinnies only, except DP which had a couple of blue bootcut pairs. Has anyone seen some black bootcut jeans on the high street or online? Thanks!
    Answer:
    Next have black bootcuts I think?
    Answer:
    Yeah I spotted those on their site (should have mentioned that, sorry!) unfortunately they dont get dispatched for 1-2 weeks and I cant find them instore :( Thanks though!
    Answer:
    MS have some - depends whether you like their cut or not. I like them but I am (ahem) a more mature bagger!
    You could try Oasis as they usually have a good range of bootcut jeans but I haven't looked in there recently.
    Answer:
    I'm pretty sure that Primark sell them!
