Copy and paste from Team forum (I'm lazy )...


I want to surprise the wifey with a diamond anniversary band for our tenth. Even though we don't need it, I want to re-propose with a "mulligan" or "do-over" if you will.
Don't get me wrong...the last ten have been great. Typical trials and tribulations of a marriage.

If one were to be looking for an anniversary diamond band, where would one look? I know a thing or two about diamonds (her engagement ring rocks), so I want quality. Does anyone here buy jewlery online, or is it best to shop in person?

I have a "homeland defense" stash that I'm willing to dip into. $500-$700 bucks. No new upper this year, but it should pay off...

I know this goes against the ARFCOM grain, but I know there are happily married folks here...aren't there?

Lil' help please...


I figured I could get and inside line here...

try this.

I can personally vouch for their quality, and the prices are a quarter of major retailers.  You could get her an eternity band (1.61 carat) for $500.  

They are freaking gorgeous!!

Thanks, but she actually works in a NICU. She "births" other peoples babies...

We're done.

Negative.

Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Diamonds for dessert.




edit: I'm working on the concept of OPSEC with my daughter. I think we're still OK.

Sorry I missed this earlier, but that's amazing.  Beautiful ring too!

And mmmmmm..... Cheesecake Factory....


Give us an AAR.  It's very sweet of you to do this for her.

Oops, I guess I misread.  I hope she appreciates the ring.
