You've finally found that perfect someone, and can't imagine spending your life with anyone else.  You begin dreaming about the wedding--the cake, the guests, the venue, the dress.  But first? The proposal.

Unfortunately, Mr. Right doesn't seem to be making any big leaps forward anytime soon.  Many women are tired of waiting around for their man to get down on one knee, and are taking matters into their own hands.  If you know he is the guy for you, why not?  You might be happily surprised with his reaction--many men say they would be relieved and excited if they got proposed to. Another new trend accompanying  fearless women getting down on one knee is the idea of an engagement ring for your man, also referred to as "mangagement rings."   The rings aren't your typical blinged-out version like ladies are used to.  Many jewelers now offer understated  bands, some featuring two-toned metal, texture, custom engraving, or incorporating your birthstone gems into the ring.  So if you are tired of family members asking the dreaded question of "when's the big day going to be?!," go pick out an engagement ring for your man, get down on one knee, and make it happen!  Who knows-- maybe he has been dreaming of this day his whole life, too.
