I agree, the size of a ring doesn't equate to a long standing relationship. But if they have the money then why not I guess. Hopefully there's insurance on that thing though.
Man, that 50k would be so awesome for our mortgage.
I love my engagement ring and wedding band. Even if I had the choice to upgrade and get bigger, I never would. Not that I think my diamond should be bigger, I think it's decent and perfect. I love it! Truly love it! The fact is when I was given the ring, I knew nothing about the size , clarity, colour and whatever other jazz. Even now with the knowledge of it, it makes little difference to me. Tbh, as pretty as I thought my ring looked, I was so caught up by the surprise proposal and the beauty that it was that I hardly was able to take notice of it initially. The ring was the bonus. The guy that gave it to me was my everything.
There's just too much pressure these days with getting the big ring I think the romance novelty is being forced in a material sense. So whilst I may say, why not spend big if the money is there, I can't help but feel why was there a reason to mention the size of the ring to begin with? I guess feeling pretty pleased and proud of it is a typical response. I guess for me I want to hear the proposal and listen to the reaction of the couple. There's just a little more beauty in that part for me
