How do I get the right size of wedding ring as a surprise for my fiancee?
Other scenario is for someone to nudge her into trying on their own rings to see how they fit. My sister did this when she wanted to know my size to buy me a ring as a gift. “I want to see how my ring looks on you. Try it on.” I thought it was kinda weird, but I did it. “Now this one.” (It was a size bigger.) She got it dead on. I’ve heard ring size and shoe size can be related, but that doesn’t always pan out: I think most people’s ring size are proportionate to the rest of their body. My ring size is about average 5.5, my height is pretty average 5’7″ and my weight is average for my height, and my shoe size is 7.5….right at average. I guess I’m just an average person.

To explain (not that there’s a great deal of nuance in anything I ever do but..) Girls know this kind of thing. And when they don’t know, they’ve got a damn sight more of an insight than you have because they wear rings. And have ovaries. The reason that you want to buy one that’s deliberately bigger is a) Its easier to make a ring smaller than it is to make
