chevysoldier Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I got my wife's engagement ring and wedding ring at Zales. They were priced well and very nice. Service was great also.This is her engagement ring. There are actually 3 diamonds on the inside of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I was skeptical, but I was hoping it you meant piston rings. Sadly, you mean the 'turn your girlfriend into a filthy prostitute' rings. I mean, breaking it own to brass tacks: Money for sex.It's not too late to turn your failboat around... don't do it!

I've held off for almost 10 yrs now... and I'm not changing my outlook anytime soon.Look, think about it. What is marriage? There are 3 components:1) Religious2) Legal3) Emotion1) Religious -- that's fine if that's what you believe in. You make a promise to one single lady for the rest of your mortal life in front of your friends/family because whatever faith you practice says that's how things are done, to properly to start a family, bear children, etc... Well, guess what? I can pee in a girls vag and she can pop out a kid without making a pledge to God. If the religious aspect was so important, God would've made us barren until we got married, or sacrificed goats, or whatever.2) Government/Legal -- With the way the laws are written to favor women in a divorce situation, I don't need the government involved to tell me I have to support some crazy bitch if I realized too late she was a crazy bitch, or turned into one sometime in the future. More often than not, it will end bitterly, and you will be taken to the cleaners.3) Emotion -- This is the only valid ground to be with someone. You "love them", which can be done on a day-to-day basis. I don't know anyone that can predict the future and with the divorce rates now, people fall out of love all the time. So be it, separate, no harm no foul -- I don't need the government and courts involved with my decisions at that point.Not that there aren't advantages to being married, but the cons outweigh the pros for me.Don't even get me started on the ring thing. That's for gold diggers. And until someone can explain to me how some shiny piece of metal, some TANGIBLE item is equivalent to an INTANGIBLE emotional feeling or connection -- I don't plan on buying a ring.Now, I would rethink my whole stance on all of this, if they outlawed divorce and made adultery a criminal offense. But at present, marriage is a sham and mockery just for the simple fact that you can pledge someone a lifetime, and take back that pledge.

redrocket04 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Diamond Cellar. When the marriage doesn't work out, you can take the diamond back, trade it in, get the same amount that you spent on it originally toward something else, and buy a Tag Heuer Carrera for yourself, and a nice gift for your mom and sister. Not that I'd know this from personal experience, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
