I'm almost a year into marriage, still pretty clearly remember sweating over the ring haha. Only advice I can give is don't buy into the "you need to spend x percentage of your income" BS. That was all developed by guess who...the diamond companies!
Get a feel for what style she'd like (good to ask her mom, her friends you trust, even her if she may be expecting it. Don't need to say I'm going to buy you a ring, but if its obvious it'll happen sooner than later then no harm in stopping in to loosely check them out next trip to the mall)
Anyway, don't spend a million dollars that you'll have to finance for 5 years. Remember, you'll be married and then shes now sharing that debt. Woohoo! In a year or 2 she'll want to upgrade anyway, get her a big f'n rock then!
