Had your husband proposed to you and said that he thought the idea of an engagement ring was silly and a waste of money, would you still have married him? If not, why?[/quote]
Are you kidding? I would have proudly married my husband with a cigar band. Why? Because he is freaking awesome. He’s the precious one; not some silly metal and jewel trinket.
Dave, what are you expecting from this thread? These are piggington women you are addressing here. I know several women here share my detest for shopping, are not materialistic, live frugally, and are good with money. We’d buy our own damn ring if we wanted one. Clearly you don’t know your target audience.
