the jewelry is the least important thing about being married.
We didn’t do rings. I worked in a chemistry lab, husband has a skin issue and wearing a ring would probably mean nonstop doctor visits.
So we just didn’t have rings. It’s really very simple.
I think my spouse and I spent… $80 total on our rings. Seemed like a waste of money to both of us.
That was us. Our wedding bands were about that all in, and I got their engagement ring for about $125.
I think everything we did for our wedding, rings included, was around $1500. The majority of that was booze.
Good on you, when I hear how much people are spending on weddings man. Over 50k is “normal” to them? We put our money to a down payment. Much better use for it.
I agree, but also, if you can’t afford a cheap ass ring, you probably can’t afford a pet. It doesn’t need to be something fancy. If you care about that tradition (not implying the person in the image does), you can get rings pretty cheap if you don’t need the whole diamond thing, and even cheaper if you’re willing to buy second-hand.
Surely a second hand wedding ring must be cursed or something right? Why was it available in the first place? Did they die? Get divorced? Lose their hands and or fingers in some fetish play gone horribly wrong?
Better to just avoid the whole situation and get a cat.
Huh. I don’t think I’ve seen a band where the drummer was the singer before.
That’s very close to what my wife said when I sent the same link to her.
On the internet, nobody knows that you’re
a dogtheir wife. (Joking. Or am I? :P)
22 years of marriage here. Never bought, given, or worn a diamond in my life.
Marriage rings are a marketing campaign created to sell you a piece of carbon that is so “rare” they put them on $12 drill bit sets.
Yep. Yep. Different quality stones. Gotcha. Interested in buying a bridge by chance?
Silicone band to not interfere in workouts

Carbon is the 4th most abundant element in the galaxy. Silicon is twice as rare, so maybe spend 6 month’s salary on a quartz ring instead? Either that, or save up for a down payment on a house. Nah, who needs a place to live when you can have a hunk of mineral, right?
If I’m spending 6 months salary on silicon, it better at least run Doom.
Smart. Easier to say ‘no’ to a shiny rock, hard to say it to a kitten.
She could say no, but she won’t. Because of the implication.
Nah, unless you’re as dumb as a rock, no matter how shiny, this is not a question you ask unless you’re 100% sure of the answer.
The circumstances of the proposal are meant to be the surprise, not the answer.
That is going to be one very very rough pet passing in 1-2 decades
And likely a treasure trove of memories that both celebrate their cat and symbolize their relationship once they deal with the worst of their grief and can enjoy the positive feelings again.
It’s weird to fixate on the eventual death of an elderly cat when you’ve fully neglected to mourn all the furniture that kitten is going to massacre
A ring is cheaper than vet bills.
Normalize not buying useless $2000 USD pieces of junk that starved children in Congo had to dig with bare hands, just to marry your soul mate.
Could you imagine being so shallow that the only thing that’s important is spending a lot of money and not having genuine love…
It’s not shallow, marriage is a government sanctioned contract. If you two have genuine love then the government sanctioned marriage doesn’t matter.
