Just the engagement ring. You usually shop for the wedding rings together.

How cute is this question?
What a great guy. Wanting to do it right and all!
I think it is super sweet that you have chosen a ring. In case it is not the exact style your soon to be wife likes, you might want to check with the store on the return policy. At least make sure you can exchange it for a ring of equal value.
At the time you propose, you only present the "big rock" to her. You sound like a really cool guy so at that time you might say to her that you chose that ring because you thought it would look beautiful on her hand, but if she likes, you can go together and exchange it for a ring she prefers.
That way she doesnt feel bad if it's not exactly what she likes.
Then at the wedding, you say your vows and you place the wedding band on her ring finger. The band goes on her finger first....so it is closest to her heart. Then that big ol' rock goes on after the band. Even though it will be worth more dollars, it is not worth the bond that the actual band brings to your life.
At least that's how it's supposed to be.
And at the wedding, she places a ring on your finger after saying her vows to you.
Good luck. Try to propose at a time that she's not stressed or really in a hurry, etc. that way you both will remember it better and appreciate it more.
Yay for you! What great news. That totally brightened my whole bad day! Thank you.

Just the engagement ring - the wedding ring is for that special day. May I make a suggestion? Propose without the ring and then the two of you can go to the jewelry store together and pick out the wedding set that you both like and that fits your budget.

You propose with the engagement ring (the big rock) the other is her wedding band. That is put upon her finger on the wedding day.
Congratulations!

Oh dear, do NOT invest in a set of rings without knowing if she'll accept your proposal. Then you both might want to look together for an engagement ring. It doesnt necessarily need to be a big rock. My preference was not a diamond at all, but rather a pearl.

As everyone else said, the big one first (engagement ring). The rest is for the wedding ceremony.
I surprised my wife (maybe "shocked" would be a better term :) with a ring. We didn't shop for it together, but you may want to consider just places that will allow you to exchange/return the ring... a GOOD jeweler will allow you to do that.
My wife loved the ring I chose (and said yes, obviously), which made me feel pretty good. She was happy because I knew her well enough to choose a ring she liked, and because I took the initiative to shop and buy without her "holding my hand" (speaking figuratively) through the process.

Just the engagement ring. You dont give her the wedding band until u get married. You can, however, purchase them together, the engagement ring and both (yours & hers) wedding band but you still only give her the engagement ring.

You just give her the big rock first and then on your wedding day you put the other part of the ring on her finger next to the big rock and then most people get them saudered together.
