Some couples don’t have an engagement ring at all. While there’s a common perception that you’re ‘supposed to have both an engagement ring and a wedding ring, that’s really up to the couple. However, proposing with a wedding ring may not be perceived well. It’s important to understand your partner’s wants and needs. If it’s clear your partner doesn’t want an engagement ring, proposing with something like flowers may be a nice touch. That way, there isn’t pressure to accept a wedding ring. Always know the person’s genuine wants before doing something in an alternative way.
