It’s never too early to start planning a special Valentines Day engagement proposal to the one you love. Choosing the perfect rings that your girlfriend or partner will want to wear every day is no easy task.
At Rings.org.uk we make choosing romantic rings easy with our helpful Ring Finder and Ring Size Chart as well as a guide to Gemstones By Birth Month for those of you who want to choose that extra special gift that relates to your girlfriend or partner’s month of their birthday.
Valentines Day 2011 will take place on Monday the 14th of February and the tradition of exchanging rings, flowers, heart shaped gifts and handwritten poems dates back to 500AD when Valentines Day was named after Christian martyrs called Valentine.
The Valentines poem, “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue” from the 1784 Gammer Gurton’s Garland collection of English nursery rhymes and poems is very popular as the words are sweet and easy to remember, especially for those who would rather write their feelings down than make a display of affection.
The rose is red, the violet’s blue
The honey’s sweet, and so are you
Thou are my love and I am thine
I drew thee to my Valentine
The lot was cast and then I drew
And Fortune said it shou’d be you.
So this month, choose the rings for your engagement proposal from Rings.org.uk and write the words from the poem inside the box to share them with the one you love as you ask for their hand in marriage.
