Ok, so when Joel proposed, he gave me beautiful engagement ring and with it came a wedding band. This made me wonder why brides typically wear two rings? Do we really need two super expensive rings?
As I suspected, it is all a tramp from jewelers that own this idea of style,luxury and “tradition”. The book says you do NOT need to wear or have both. The wedding ring is the important one. The engagement ring is typically just there to look pretty, flashy, and “stylish”. Apparently in the old days, the engagement ring was used as a sort of exchange of property, because you know, marrying a woman meant you owned her. Does this mean women would become slaves to man only for a ring?
I can not help feel Joel was ripped out of thousand of dollars for an engagement ring… but Oh well, it is pretty :)
Nothing that says “I love you” more than wasting a ridiculous amount of money on a blood diamond that will mark a man’s “property”, right?
