Congrats to both Zara and Mike. May they have many happy and blissful years together.
Agreed. Glad it is something new. Wonder if she had any input in the selection of the ring. It also looks sturdy enough for her to wear while riding her horses if she chose to do so.
I believe they also posed for photographers outside their house rather than at a palace. The engagements pictures looked very fitting for their personalities. ( low-key and sporty)
I am personally more excited to see what she will wear to her wedding than Kate just because her fashion choice are far more interesting.
If he only proposed yesterday he already must have had the ring. But maybe he has tried to find out what kind of ring she likes: "hey Zara, that is quite a ring your cousin gave Kate...ah, really, you prefer diamond rings?... something like your friend X?... oh, you liked the shape but not the yellow gold?...." After such a conversation he would have some clues.Since she says she was "shocked" when Mike asked I think she didn't have an influence on the ring choice. He did a good job.
They may even have looked at rings together and she might have said - that is the sort of ring I would like - and he then buys that ring.
There are ways for the girl to choose the ring without actually knowing that he is about to 'pop the question'.
You are right, but some guys are just not sensitive enough to get the intentions of their girl. (Sorry guys, but that is the cruel truth. A friend of mine once was asked by her boyfriend if she would like to do a special driving training. She said flatout: "NO, not my cup of tea!" She got it for her birthday anyway) So I think it still says a lot for Mike that he got her the right kind of ring.They may even have looked at rings together and she might have said - that is the sort of ring I would like - and he then buys that ring.

And if you marry a commoner you have more chance of a long term marriage?
There have been plenty of royal to non-commoner marraiges that have worked out perfectly. There have also been royal to commoner marraiges that have worked out.
They may marry for love, but the royals are loosing their spark.
Just FYI...I'm a "he" LOL!!! glad you understand what I was trying to say though!!... the poster made what she meant pretty clear in her first post...
Congratulations to both of them!!! And they probably waited as royal protocol dictates William announces first.
I can't see Mike and Zara getting married before November or December of next year. I doubt they'd want to get married anytime close to William and Catherine's wedding, even if their wedding will be much more private.
