[quote=davelj]I’m seeing answers of all kinds regarding how the engagement ring issue was handled. Go back and re-read the posts. No, there’s not a single woman who has said here that she wouldn’t marry a guy without an engagement ring – despite this site’s anonymity, it would be naive to expect that level of honesty from many folks (if, in fact, that’s how they feel).

For the record. I would have married my husband without an engagement ring. He gave me one – which I am sappy about and cherish because it’s from him… but it wasn’t a deal breaker in any way. I absolutely would have accepted his proposal without the ring.
but he would have had to change his proposal. He proposed with a 3-d viewmaster reel – I was looking through it at pictures of his trip to Istanbul and the last picture was a stereo picture of the ring with my first name and his last name and a question mark captioned below the picture. I guess he could have done just the caption… The answer would have been the same.
