The Engagement Ring

[Compry]

Personally I don't see the need to wear a mortgage on my finger as "a ring does not a marriage makes" but there are those who measure a man's love by the size of the diamond he buys.

In today's society of having so many other responsibilities to consider is an expensive diamond still desired by singles? Would you accept cubic zirconia, moissanite or other gems instead? Does the size or gem really determines his love?

Not that I am not appreciated of his "effort" to show how much he loves me, but I would rather settle for even grass straw tie up roun mi finga more dan knowing sey him haffi pay notes fi di ring whey mi a pallawb wid pan mi finga. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So the answer to your question, it's only depending on our (his) affordability and no the size of the diemann, moissanite (wat eva dat is) doesn't determine how much love he have for me.

Re: The Engagement Ring

Funny you said that Arjen, my boss and her hubby exchange pendants when they got engaged. I thought it was sweet and unique.

Nedder question, in some cultures the man receives an engagement ring, would you give one?
