Can't get married unless you are both very sure.

To add a male twist to that female perspective:

Don't take the ring back because if she changes her mind and you have to go get a ring it had better be the exact same one. She has every flaw in that diamond and every streak on that gold memorized so you had better have it for her if she wants it. Even a bigger one wont do at this point.
