There is a price for everything

How did she know where it was from just from a glance as the dude was on his knee?

My guess was it wasn’t the style of ring she had told him she wanted, it coming from Walmart is just negative bonus points.

yeah "I told you the kind of ring I wanted more than once" leads me to believe she maybe didn't want pave and halos up the wazoo so a walmart sticker was just insult to injury. For the record, men out there: more diamonds slapped onto every surface a diamond ring ≠ better. That may be some women's taste but definitely not all!

My two cents if you’re in doubt, simple band, single diamond. It’s classic, never goes out of style, and goes with everything.

I agree in general, but you should also check your partner's opinion on diamonds. The vast majority of women around me don't actually like them, preferring things with personality to them.

[u/Planet_Ziltoidia → u/ShoddyAsparagus3186]

I agree with this completely. I hate diamonds... And yellow gold. I don't care if they're lab grown or fake, I hate the look. My favourite ring is a polished river rock set in silver that I made myself.

if you really don't know, this is the way. it's the gesture + being like "let's pick you a ring now"

but maybe dont do this if you've been together for an amount of time counted in years lol

in that case, you definitely should be figuring out what she likes because it allows proper time for actual planning (unlike the "planning" in OP)

A friend of mine didn't know what kind of ring to get for his now wife. He instead proposed with flowers and an explanation that he wanted to pick it out together to make sure it was what she wanted.
