My father is dead so it would be a problem to ask him. I do have a stepfather but he'd laugh at any guy who did that and it would be a clear sign he isn't the guy for me if he thinks that is what I want or how my family operates. I had one boyfriend who said he'd ask my father and it made my dad dislike the guy because I wasn't raised that way. It was somewhat valid as a heads up when my father had my inherited engagement ring but I have it now so when the future husband and I decide as a couple to get married (no surprise proposal) I'll put the ring on and we'll call our families.
I'm to the point I won't change my last name, so a lot of this stuff doesn't apply to me. Most guys are thankful I have my own ring, no problems picking out a ring, so there's really no need to consult anyone and to keep it between ourselves.

But Vandal, if you give yourself your own ring, how do you win at life?

You know, that actually sounds like an awesome idea. It eliminates shopping, pricing, and all those other things I don't like doing (and I'm sure a guy wouldn't like doing either).

Because if I call it off, I still get to keep the ring no matter what! That really is full of win.

It worked out well since I got my grandmother's ring and my sister got our great great aunt's ring (sister was already married so nanny nanny boo boo that she didn't wear it for any of her three marriages). It also means the man I marry can perhaps take money that may have been spent on a ring and put it towards a house if I don't own one already, or to renovating the home to be green or have a better bathroom.
The guy and I talked today, and we're only looking forward for about six or so months, but the older I get the less I want a big wedding and I pretty much just want our immediate family and best friend to hop on a plane and get hitched in Tuscany or Bora Bora. I planned a big wedding for a marriage that didn't happen, and it really isn't a priority for me anymore. I want a house a great husband, and a couple kids (the house or husband can come in either order, the kids are coming last). He's also not opposed to letting the kiddos have my last name since it is going extinct and he has a brother to carry on his.

That is a win indeed (in my book anyway).
I think I'm with you on the small wedding thing. I've seen enough people plan big huge affairs to know that I don't want one.

Thirded. I'm soooo over big affairs. They're not even fun to be a guest at anymore.

I went to my first BIG (250+) wedding this year. It was such a zoo. Definitely not my favorite wedding. I had gotten used to smallish weddings where you could really hang out with the bride and groom, and any friends you may have had there. This one, not so much. I even think the bride and groom were overwhelmed and exhausted.
