<human>: I have a diamond in my family that I was planning on using to propose to my girlfriend in a little over a week. I have a ring picked out, and I put the deposit down. I ordered the ring four week ago, and it was supposed to take about four weeks to make and ship it. I called the jewelry store today, and apparently the jeweler I talked to never actually put in the order. 

Now, before I go any further, I really do think that this was an honest mistake. They were incredibly helpful, and apparently it wasn't ordered because the company that was supposed to send the ring sent a follow-up question that was never answered. Of course I'm angry at the situation, but it is what it is, and there isn't a whole lot I can do about that.

That being said, I was planning on proposing in a little over a week, and, at this point, am wondering what the best course of action is. I've been doing a really good job of pretending that the engagement is a ways off, all so that when I do propose it will be that much more of a surprise. I've done pretty much everything I can to prepare, but this obviously throws a pretty big wrench in the plan.

On the logistical end, I have this whole plan - my parents have made hotel reservations, friends have requested off work, etc. - that is taking place on a specific date, and I don't know if I should postpone it. 

The real issue comes down to whether I should propose with my grandma's ring (If this is relevant, it's pretty much exactly the opposite of what my girlfriend wants in a ring) on the planned date, or whether I should wait and propose with the actual ring. My two lines of reasoning are that a) she may just be happy enough - after I explain the story - that I'm proposing, or that b) it may be important to her to show everyone the *actual* ring. I'm leaning toward keeping the engagement on scedule as of right now. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Jeweler messed up my ring order, and I don't know whether to keep the engagement on schedule or not. Any insight would be incredibly helpful.
