Should I mention that I found a ring?
My fiance is going to be leaving for the Navy at the end of October. We informally decided to get married sometime (probably within a year) and therefore informally decided that we're engaged now. So there was no ring or actual proposal - he said he would "propose" to me later on when he had a ring.
Anyway, we were in his room and I went to look for chapstick. He keeps it on one of the shelves in his closet. Sometimes it gets pushed under a stack of shirts, so I lifted up his shirts and I found a really pretty engagement ring/wedding band set (it wasn't in a box). I didn't say anything to him. I'm really happy and excited, but at the same time I feel like a kid who found their Christmas presents! I want to wear the ring now, but I don't want to ruin any plans he had.
Should I say something to him? Or should I just pretend I didn't accidentally find it and then wait for him to give it to me?
@Diogenes - Wow, you don't have be like that. I was just asking for some advice because I'm excited and happy. Of course I feel like a little kid who found their Christmas presents and wants to play with them now! Who wouldn't feel like that? I wanted to see what other people thought before acting on my impulses. And of course the ring is for me. There is NO other explanation for him having it.

He was probably planning on the right moment to propose properly and give it you. If you tell him you found it, it would probably go towards a little awkward as his plans would be dashed and he would be pressured into feeling he should just give it to you then and now.
And that would defeat the purpose of his whole meaning behind trying to make it a surprise for you in the first place.
Be patient and wait for the time for him to officially give it to you. It'd be much more satisfying when you receive it the way he originally intended. I know you want to wear it, but resist the temptation for now and give him his time.
...And congrats! :)

Give him a chance to propose to you, Don't tell him anything about finding the ring, just try to forget about it, Give him a chance :) Only happens once! Even if you do have to wait it would be worth it :)

Don't say a word, it might not be his, but a friend of his. So just go about your life, and don't make plans, because you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch. I do hope it works out, but in case it doesn't it is better to be quiet.

Don't ruin the surprise he is probably planning something memorable and you will be stealing his thunder.

Seems like I just read this one the other day.........
Leave it alone. Let him do it. You just act like you don't know anything.

It is a hard one to answer
The answer is - it depends?
Do you trust him?
Is he serious?
Did anything happen between you to cause him to delay asking you?
Maybe- let things unfold as they will...
If he leaves with no ring being put on his finger
Then bring it up with him.
