Thank you so much for your advice everyone! I think the best idea so far has been to see if Kay Jewelers can replace the diamonds in the ring I've picked out with CZ. If not, there is a ring on QVC that I LOVE! I passed the ideas on to Blake and he seemed mildly interested so that's a good sign!

I think he's feeling a little down about not being able to afford the real deal. Belive me, I am reassuring him that it's not the ring that I'm after!
