Shouldn't he be the one to get you the ring when he feels its time to pop the question? Besides you are way too young to be married trust me I got married when I was 18 and sometimes I wish I would have waited longer, not because I don't love my husband, I just really needed to have fun a little longer. Don't rush into anything. If you two are really meant for each other, it will most definitely be worth the wait.

Tell your parents you need psychiatric help. At 17, maybe a high school class ring, a cracker jack box symbol, but for GOD sake, DO NOT COMMIT TO MARRIAGE. He is simply trying to make sure you do not want to see other guys out of curiosity. IF he really wants to give you one in the first place. Secondly, if this is your idea totally, forget it, if he doesn't want to give it to you without it being suggested, it would never last anyway. Lastly, never associate things like engagements, weddings, etc with a holiday you love, when one of you ends up hating the other, the memory of that hatred will always haunt the holiday, or you'll find someone else you really love, and your family won't keep there big mouths shut about how you got engaged to someone else on x-mas, bet he would feel really special now huh.

Christmas is not the right time to spring it on the rest of your friends and family. Besides don't you want the day you get your rings to be very special..it won't be special, it'll just be Christmas.
And you know how it goes..you wanted the gift you got last xmas and now you don't even remember what it was. Trust me...
It'll be the same thing this year. You won't want the same things at 19 that you do now...and you won't want the same things at 21 either. Go slow, you've got the rest of your life to get hooked .
That, "I really, really love him" stuff wears thin fast. Then it's the baby, the dishes,the laundry, and the car payment. Just give yourself some time to live a little.

if you got a ring out of a box from under the tree and found a ring in it i think there could be some confusion as to what the ring was for. so i would not do it then as far as getting married at 17 goes if your both done with school all school and there is enough money coming in . along with the a practice before hand see if the too of you can both handle not going out to bars with your friends alone that is without the other.
see if both of you can manage to greatly limit the number of times you go to a bar down to about less then one time a month
i say this as i think some people think that there having a great time with the person going to bars and parties along with alone time but once the wild bars and parties are all gone they don't even like each other .

i was engaged when i was 19 married at 22. i'm only 23 now and love every bit of my marriage. a few suggestions: graduate high school. date aroundand have sex with other guys--so you can learn what is out there. take a road trip with your girlfriends to a party town. when you get engaged, don't have a long engagement, but most importantly, date him an entire year before you think of marriage. this way you can experience all 4 seasons, all the holidays, all the sporting events, etc. with him..that way you know what he's like with his friends, how the weather affects him, what his traditions are, etc.

Ah, you think you want honesty, but it will hurt.
No engagement ring, you're not even an adult, can't vote, can't drink the champagne at your own wedding toast.
You may love him, he may love you--but any married person will tell you it takes a great deal more than that. Maybe you'll marry him, when you're older.
For now, how about a sweetheart ring, a diamond pendant, or some other ice without committing your life to the fella, hmm?

you are way to young to be thinking about being married. Does he know you want this? This is not something you should put on your wish list. Get yourself well educated then think about his stuff. I know the wedding sounds nice but there is alot of things that come after that you are not ready for. Besides you should go have fun first!

oooooohhh weeee..at 17 i was bearly on number 25. What's up with you girl..Love of LUST? Come on' you know you dont want to because if you did you wouldn't be here on Yahoo questions asking about it. Married life is a very difficult task for two people to endure. at 17. I think you know the answer to your own question!

If you both each other then what the hurry. wait that's the best thing to do. your young still. if he's the right one thing will come with time. don't rush cuz you have your whole life a head I wish someone would have told me this at your age, cuz I rushed... and found myself years later wanting to take back time and enjoying my youth.
