OT: Engagement Rings

[davelj]

[quote=CBad][quote=davelj]it would be naive to expect that level of honesty from many folks[/quote]

Agreed. That was why I asked what your expectations were. Seems a y/n question like this with some emotional baggage attached to it would be best suited as a poll. That is if you are truly interested in the answer and not just the banter.[/quote]

Apparently the polls have been conducted on a larger scale:

Which I wouldn’t have bothered looking up had I not started this thread.

So, a poll is unnecessary – apparently there have already been plenty of them conducted outside of Piggington.

So, I guess that leaves the banter. Which I’m enjoying.

Ok, how cute is that?! 🙂 BTW, I didn’t want to drag out the old thread but we are fellow AP parents as well.

Well, as long as you’re honest about it….

[quote=UCGal]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.[/quote]

Definitely a keeper! 🙂 What a sweet way to propose.

[quote=pri_dk]Some trivia:

The diamond engagement ring “tradition” really isn’t that old. And of course if was created by corporate marketing.

If you are over 40 or so, there’s a good chance your grandmother did not get one because she didn’t know she was supposed to want one.

The engagement ring is certainly a stupid tradition which isn’t.

However, I think that the tradition of a dowry should be preserved and resurrected.

If a woman wants to marry well, she or her family better have a dowry at the ready. 😉
