i am in no rush to get married.. and i want my ring to be be picked out for me.. the ring is what symbolized the commitment/marriage.. to a woman at least.. thats the first thing they show their friends when they ask.. not omg how did he do it.. thats always the next question!!
Exactly! Paul you are looking at it as we are so obsessed with the price and size of the ring when that is not the case. We as women just want to feel special. If you can't afford a big fancy ring, FINE! I will help you pay for it because I know that it was just meant for me and me alone. Jesse will tell you, I am no high class bitch. We are both broke and I like it that way. We lean on each other and that's all I ask for. Money and material things mean nothing to me when you have someone that loves you and only you by not holding on to the past!
