The Big Ask

You know they’re the one, so what’s next? Whether your proposal ideas are big, grand, totally planned, or sentimentally sweet and intimate — a little preparation can go a long way when planning for your magical moment.

“We went for a walk to see the lights. I told him that I wanted to make special memories like this all the time with him. As I finished taking our selfie, my free hand was pulling the ring out of my pocket. II dropped to one knee and asked him to marry me.”

-Zeb & Eric

Let’s get started with a few simple steps:

1. Set a budget. Review your expenses and savings to establish a realistic starting point. Don’t forget to consider the cost of your wedding plans.
2. Find the right ring size. Bring in a ring they wear to a KAY store for sizing. If you’re going for the big surprise, use our Ring Sizer tool to find the perfect fit.
3. Keep their sense of style in mind. Bold and daring or sophisticated and refined? If you’re not sure, just ask! They might guess what you're up to but finding a ring they'll love is worth it.
4. Ready, set, shop! You’ve done your homework, it's time to select a ring symbolic of your future together.
