I'm pretty sure the Kimye wedding has broken part of my brain, so I'm going to try to ease us all back into reality with some gorgeous real-girl engagement rings. Five bling-y rings and a good night's sleep and we should all feel better soon.
Engagement Ring 1
Kait and her guy—they're junior high sweethearts—got engaged at her family's cabin after almost eight years together. "It was really special and exciting," she says.
Engagement Ring 2
Emily says her pear-shaped light-pink diamond ring has gotten tons of compliments from people on the street. "It's so sparkly, and pink is my favorite color!" she says.
Engagement Ring 3
Vanessa's guy proposed at their home with fireworks in the background. They're getting married August 16! (So soon! Congrats! )
Engagement Ring 4
Laurie's boyfriend proposed with her grandmother's ring, because "he knows I'm sentimental." When she was a kid, she says she thought the ring was too big, but now she loves how unique it is.
Engagement Ring 5
Jeff proposed on a rainy night (a few months after Monica made Engagement Chicken!) with this custom ring. "It's perfect!" she says.
Which of these engagement rings is your favorite?
