Wedding-Rings-Thoughts?

[onyxfemme]

Maybe it's a Nap thing?

I told my girl my ring should look like Kobe's shit.... Be cheap if you want to!

It's actually not that big-here is another view-
Regardless I love diamonds I'd buy it for my dude if he was into it. But he's a simple guy....thats my baby..

is that a wedding band or a pinkie ring?

Some like it Some dont-I hate that they modeled it on a womans hand though-oh well...

it actually doesn't look that bad in that pic.

 

[onyxfemme]

Exactly

it actually doesn't look that bad in that pic.

See boys and girl we learned a lesson-what looks one way in one picture can look another way in another picture....


I remember once when some pics were posted and everyone was like...
Oooooooh and ahhhhhh then......and then.........
If I was you I would hate me too

 

[!!*10der*!!]

Who cares about the ring? Fuck an expensive ring, splurge on the honeymoon.

 

[LoneStar29]

correct me if i'm wrong but i thought he picked out the ring as a sentiment to her...not she flat out picks it outs and he buys it.

I mean I thought that he is supposed to ask your friends and family to go with him to pick out rings to see what you might like and it's supposed to be a surprise.

besides...he's buying it and if I was a dude and the woman I'm supposed to marry is flippin over the ring or being mad ungrateful (unless the thing is horrible) I would be really hurt.

I mean he might not be able to afford your "dream ring" so you might get something "less"...hell, upgrade every 5 or 10 yr anniversary...iono

On the flip side, if my husband was into that, I would buy him some bling lol

C/S everything

Cant we spurge on both?

 

[SWATLANTA]

Thank God for women who know what's important in a marriage ! Any chick that insists on a gaudy wedding ring clearly has no idea what really matters...

 

[onyxfemme]

What is important in a marriage and the preference on jewelry is 2 different things.

It should be two different things, but the fact that a person would have issues with whatever ring is presented to them seems to say something different...

 

[DV8ed]

So if you are going to wear a ring for the rest of your life (supposedly) shouldn't the woman have a part in picking her wedding ring?

Understanding that a marriage/union is a beautiful thing that a ring symbolizes, so why not make it a symbol that both of you like?


Discuss

If she's gonna break out her checkbook and pay for half of the ring, then by all means, give me your opinion of which one you like. Otherwise, be happy that you got a fucking ring. Or better yet, be happy a man loves yo enough that he wants to give you his heart for the rest of his life.

Just my opinion.

 

[PrincessC]

While I have an extreme appreciation for big diamonds and things that sparkle, I wouldn't mind having a simple silver or platinum band. I would much rather focus on the marriage and our life together than a ring, especially if we have other things to pay for.

Now, if he can afford the ring I want...I would throw subtle hints out as to what I like, but I wouldn't want to go with him to get it. That is one surprise I would like.

And I hate diamonds on men, period. What a waste.

 

[onyxfemme]

Who said she would have problems w/ it?
The question was regarding being able to select the wedding ring-NOT THE ENGAGEMENT ring.

[onyxfemme]

I agree w/ this and in this day and age I believe it should be 50/50 on the wedding ring. Personally I would buy both my wedding ring and his-especially if he brought the engagement ring. Then let him pay for like the honeymoon or reception.

If she's gonna break out her checkbook and pay for half of the ring, then by all means, give me your opinion of which one you like. Otherwise, be happy that you got a fucking ring. Or better yet, be happy a man loves yo enough that he wants to give you his heart for the rest of his life.

I can respect this....

You asked...

...why not make it a symbol that both of you like?

This implies that if he picks a ring you don't like that you would have a problem with it...

 

[onyxfemme]

I am not sure how one could mean the other-
But if this was about me I would still stand by my beliefs I would want some say on my wedding ring. I dont know if many can differentiate between wedding and engagement ring-so for the umpteenth time I must stress I mean the wedding ring.

For some reason, you keep insisting that people don't know the difference between an engagement or a wedding ring...If I am buying it for you, you should be happy with the thought behind the purchase. My focus however, will be more on setting up a home and building our future financially instead of wasting money on something that you can parade around for your friends benefit...

 

[onyxfemme]

If it were to parade for my friends benefit-I would just wear the diamonds I already have. Setting up a home I could see, if I didnt already have one.

My point was made best on the previous page by Mo-Better.

But people get caught up in what the believe thus what the topic is really about.

Typically an engagement ring is bought w/o knowledge of the woman so he can present it to her to ask for her hand in marriage.
Then the wedding ring/wrap is purchase for the ceremony to "seal the deal".

My thought is why not have a say in what you will be wearing for the rest of your life.

I guess different strokes for different folks. No wrong or right here. I say do what makes you happy...Diamonds make me ecstatic!

For some reason, you keep going back to the engagement ring...move on, nobody is discussing that and we all know the difference. If you are a materialistic person, that is fine, insist on your husband buying you whatever it is you want. I am sure there are some dudes that would bend over backwards for that type of chick, i'm just not one...

 

[onyxfemme]

Wow I guess you told me.......Materialistic? Yeah somewhat-but you missed my point-again it was already made. No wrong or right here as different stokes for different folks (de ja vu).
Gotta go get some porn now.

[onyxfemme]

re quoting because as for me this is where the thread shouldve ended

Since your talking about "wedding rings" I can see your point. That really should be a mutual selection. But the engagement ring however should be the man's choice alone.

No personal attack from me at all. I never missed your point, I disagree with it. My point is that I don't want a woman who even cares about frivolous (my opinion only) stuff like that...

re quoting because as for me this is where the thread shouldve ended

Mo-Better agreed with you, that is his choice, I just have a difference of opinion...No biggie, i'm not into the whole internet beef bs or unnecessary hating. Reasonable people can reasonably disagree.

 

[onyxfemme]

Dang thought we were done.....I reasonably disagreed a day or two ago...Hugz???

[Louis Koo]

I feel you on that. The ring a woman wears should symbolize the love between her and her husband, it's not about making other women jealous. Also, I think at some point the ring will come off my finger as well. I think at that point I'll put it on a necklace and rock it like that. Whatever the case, my wife and I will wear our rings for the reasons they're intended for, not to show off. In that case, we'll be all good...

@5:02

 

[code_pirahna]

I thought the proposal was a surprise....couldn t he take your best girlfriend and she can help him pick since she will really know your taste.....

Hell she can go with you to the jewelry store and you all could play "that s my ring" and she can take a mental note to relay to your man. Just to keep it a surprise....

 

[4North1Side2]

SMH...Maybe it's because I'm more of "Hey babe what you like, go get it" I find all this dropping hints and surprise shit just bullshit. If we can't afford it at the time, she understands but I'm going to find a way to get it in her possession ASAP. I'm the same way, I ain't settling for something else if I see something I really want.

On another note, I just passed the half decade mark with my Woman.
