Does Size Matter ;-)

[kvalidir]

Would you be disappointed in the size of engagement ring your man had chosen or would you just be happy that the man you love wants to marry you? Personally mine could propose to me with a hula hoop and I'd be happy. Why are people so rude and catty?

[ummmm]

My ring is pretty small but he knew I wouldn't want anything big or flashy. Wasn't cheap though.

Like you, I'd be happy with just the proposal. His proposal was crap though :-)

"Why are people so rude and catty?"

I'm guessing of course but I'd say it's because they're ill-bred scum with not an ounce of decency or even common sense in their bodies.

[andy-hughes]

People are rude because they can be - that's the downside of 'social' media.

If people could only make their observations to the recipient in person, they simply wouldn't - because they would not have the distance and anonymity that Twitter provides.

The couple quite rightly shrug off the uninvited and unrequired opinions of pointless strangers.

As long as the circumference is correct, you shouldn't worry about whether it flashes in sunlight ...

I bought my wife's engagement ring when I did not have much money.Some years later when I was a lot better off I asked her if she would like a larger ring.She said no it was its significance that had mattered to her.

Well buy a bloody ring or don't.......that is neither one thing or another.
I thought that our modern couples are not keen on engagements or marriages.

[kvalidir]

Would you not question the authenticity of feeling in a woman who only wanted a huge flaming diamond though Sqad, and I'd get married to this one given half a chance, despite not being particularly pro getting married previously. I think when it's right it's right and you sometimes change your mind about things you thought you knew about yourself.

[ummmm]

Why on earth not, Sqad, the amount people spend on weddings are through the roof.

[Sqad]

Kvali...can you precis your post please........

[anneasquith]

The ring appears too tight,

[kvalidir]

Sqad No ;-)

[Sqad]

Kvali.......let me try........"it is just a storm in a teacup"...:_)

ummmm......I agree, but we are talking about a ring, not the wedding, the ring being for life. if she becomes pregnant, her fat hands will swell and the ring will disappear.
I re-iterate.....bloody stupid.

[ummmm]

Lol...not all pregnant women swell up :-)

It does look too small on her finger.

[Old_Geezer]

I can't think why anyone would conclude I'd want to be married.
They couldn't know me very well.
(Although unequal treatment, by government, of the non-married does make one wonder sometimes.)

[Old_Geezer]

Rings can be expanded. Seems wrong to laugh at someone because of the size of their ring.

[woofgang]

its nobody's business but theirs.

[Sqad]

Woofgang.......you are correct, but when you announce it to the world.....then it's all to play for.

[woofgang]

I disagree sqad....people have always announced their engagement to the public, albeit a smaller public and the polite response is congratulations, not catty and mean spirited criticism.

[gness]

Don't they look a lovely, happy couple......just happy being with each other I think.....the sort of folk I'd love to spend an evening with......

Well, unless they talked about food all the time.... :-)

I think those so bothered about the size of the ring are perhaps missing what this couple seem to have.....x
