Mrs Stampede turns 40 tomorrow! It's a milestone, so I decided an eternity ring was appropriate:

Awww. Happy birthday to Mrs S.![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I got my eternity ring when I became pregnant with DD after 8 years of marriage. OH said it was because it would be the last expensive thing we could afford- apart from everything to do with babies/children and now uni student!!

Thanks guys. There's no official date or event associated with eternity rings, but I've wanted to get her one for some time and a birthday is as good an excuse as any.
Her response this evening: 'You have pleased me.'

She's taking it very well, but sad to see the end of her 30s.

We have been married 12 years and my wife still hasn't got an engagement ring yet lol
When we got engaged I was a hard up young uni student with $10 in my bank account![Blink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/blink.gif)
She said it didn't matter to her...and that was one of those genuine doesn't matter, not one of those other doesn't matter things women do when it really does matter...wait have I got that right![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Anyhoo 14 years on from the engagement we are still going and still no engagement ring. I did offer a can ring pull and a hula hoop lol arrrggggggg salt n vinegar hula hoops.. yum.
We will get around to it one day and I guess will have to propose again
I guess if the answer is no here it will be divorce lol
Happy 40th anyway.
