Congratulations friend, I highly recommend the institution of marriage. I can't speak for diamond buying, it's been quite a number of years since I did that. I think there was another thread on the engagement topic that had some good stuff, too. My only suggestion might be, unless total surprise is your goal, that you feel out the future Mrs Rappin' and see what it is she'd be most happy with. Sometimes they don't necessarily want the biggest and most expensive. After I popped the question Mrs Jimbo-to-be went to the jewelry store with me knowing, I was dirt poor but would get her anything she wanted. When the jeweler laid them all out in front of her she took her time and picked one and said, "This is it!" It definitely wasn't the biggest, but it wasn't the cheapest, it had flaws and it had actually been purchased in an estate sale so I'm thinking, "Crap! It's used!". None of that made a difference, she just knew. But hey, that's my story you do what moves you. Before you do anything, ask her father's permission. This might be key to the whole engagement process.
