The Wedding Ring

[GiveawayGirl]

My type?


Would that be a psychological analysis of someone based on a typo, sort of like a Myers-Briggs test for the terminally literate?

Yank, has anyone ever told you how cute you are when you start making absolutely no sense whatsoever?

 

[bobsgirl]

I'll respond, if only to quote your typo

I hate to see you devote any time at all to this since it is a lost cause. You and I both know that I'll never laugh at one of your puns....they are just too bad.

Sorry, friend...but I like you for other reasons and despite your inability to create a good pun.

Sorry, GG, but I have to put my money on Yank on this one.

Lean in a lttle closer then, and let me babble nonsense into your ear.

I'd take him up on this, if I were you, GG.

Yank...


To put this thread back on track (my apologies for my previous off-track posts), one does not need to have an expensive ring in order to get married. At the time that my husband and I decided to become engaged, he was a grad student and I worked part-time and went to school part-time. A ring wasn't in the equation at that time and never became a priority in the years that followed. My husband didn't give me an engagement ring until our twentieth anniversary. We shared all those years quite happily without a flashy rock.

At our wedding we exchanged the most inexpensive and simple wedding rings we could find because it was all that we could afford at the time. All these years later, I am still wearing that same ring and I wouldn't even consider trading it in for an expensive one.

Ordinarily, I'd agree. Unfortunately, he keeps whispering about how to stop his participles from dangling and his propositions are really prepositions.

And there I was hoping that you'd see my prepositions for propositions...to do something about those no-longer-dangling participles.

Bah... I think diamonds are too plain.

I would have to agree with this. My personality makes me out to be one of those people that likes to blend into the crowd while wearing bright orange. So for me, I'd prefer something that is not a diamond as the main stone. Diamonds to accent are different. I would prefer an emerald, sapphire, ruby, or something else.

Does a huge ring come with the deal if I do?

I'm afraid not (hoping it wouldn't be a deal breaker). I'm much more partial to stones that have value in the wearer's eyes because of their color or that bear meaning for their place of origin rather than their size.

The stone in my engagement ring was a diamond that was in a ring MrB's grandmother gave him. The ring I wear now for a wedding band is a diamond anniversary ring that I received for our tenth wedding anniversary. It's very plain and sits very close to my finger so I don't catch it on the wheelchair rim.
