I personally think it is comparable to Tori's although mine is a solitaire. My husband paid cash for the ring-- not a dollar financed. It is very possible that Bobby is frugal and money-wise. It is also possible that he financed the ring. We never will know.

Also just because Tori’s nails were done doesn’t mean she wasn’t surprised. Her sister was in cosmetology school. She may have asked to practice on her. I am sure her family knew it was coming and wanted to help her look her best. They may have been able to get her to dress up and do her nails without raising suspicion. We also don’t know that there wasn’t a special day at college that day that required them to dress up more than normal.

The proposal itself is a surprise and it is an exciting moment. That's like saying that a pregnant woman shouldn't cry when her baby is born because she knows that the baby is coming. I knew that my now-husband was going to propose and I was still over the moon when he did and felt totally surprised. It's sad that you're so jaded and cynical.

In Bobby's case, it was inspired by something he saw that Tori liked, but it, too, had a lot of creative input from Bobby alone. Also, just because they THINK a ring is purchased, doesn't mean they know. Last but not least, the family often remains hidden during these proposals and having a "camera crew" follow them is normal. If they go on an ice cream date with them, why wouldn't a crew be present when they go to a scenic mountain ledge?The Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267181491876446498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-34535083567719054372018-01-16T07:30:26.805-06:002018-01-16T07:30:26.805-06:00I understand what you are saying.

It feels phony when they know the ring is purchased ( as I believe nearly every girl had an input to the design) and know the proposal day as parents and camera crew are in place. Maybe their script just needs to be adjusted to have a more truthful representation of events. Anyway, happy for all of them.

Tori doesnt seem to fuss so much with styling her hair, makeup, etc like some of the other sisters, like Erin. When I saw the nails I thought she knew the ring was coming any day. Best of luck to them! Back when I got engaged eons ago I was blessed with a beautiful ring but it wasnt a carat. I like how he went to the family jeweler. It also shows a lot about him to make that move for her. A lot of guys would say your moving to my state.
