In fact, that being the case, kyle, i think it'd be cool to get an other-than-diamond ring ... i.e., an aquamarine or a sapphire ... dark blue evening sky ... crystal clear waters ... I know I'd be thinking about the private time on the cruise every time I looked at it!

(and that could come in handy when you guys pi$$ us off!)

Most of the women I was ever hooked up with would have stared at it so much they'd have worn it out....They were always pi$$ed off about something! :lmao:

Never married or engaged. Now I'm a bit older and more inflexable, and never had a desire to have kids, so it just doesn't seem important. :ohwell:

Alright - I already mentioned that my marriage was spurred by pregnancy so the story is not TOTALLY romantic. He had very little time to plan - and I was a bit resistive.

When we first found out abour our potential spawn we briefly discussed marriage but never really came to an agreement. We were already living together and engaged but had been planning on a long-term engagement and certainly no kiddos just yet. We ended up getting into a huge fight over whether or not we should get married before the big birthing day (I was resisting being a pregnant bride and having people commend me for doing the "right thing" or thinking that our marriage was somehow <i>cheapened</i> because it was rushed).
Anyways - I left that night and went to my parents. At about 2 am I woke up to him at my bedroom window pleading me to "sneak out" to see him. (Background - our relationship was a wee bit forbidden when I first met him and we did a lot of sneaking around). So I did and we ran about a mile and a half to the beach laughing and pretending we were 16 again.
In the end he kneeled down and told me that he wanted to marry me because he loved me - not because of the baby - and I accepted. We got married about 3 weeks later with only our immediate family present. I still resisted a big wedding to send off the preggers girl.

Oh yeah - and my dress was blue - we had just found out that the little tyke was a boy 3 days before so we thought it was appropriate.

Bad Tater! :bonk: I'm not a very materialistic person at all. Well, I like nice things but am willing to buy them myself. I don't expect anyone else to take care of me. But I do believe that the ring is symbolic. I think buying a woman some piece of crap just because you can afford it rather then pinch here and there and save up enough to buy something nice doesn't say much for you. I think even applies to the wedding bands. When/if I get married for real I plan on having titanium wedding bands made. Titanium is the strongest metal in the world and I think that should be symbolic of the way a marriage should be. I didn't waste my time or money on it with my ex because I KNEW it would never last. Anyway, just my two cents worth, now you have 4 cents in your ring fund. :biggrin:

Ouch!! Stop with the hammer......sheeesh. I wasn't throwing all women that want a nice ring under the bus. I was just saying that, to me, the way a person SHOWS someone they love them is much more important than the rock on their finger. Take me and BCH, for example, I treat her like a queen and she treats me like a king............Rodney King. :scowl:

I was married in 1986. He wanted to buy a house together in 1985, and I told him I didn't want to "live in sin" (but all I REALLY wanted protection of the law in the event that the relationship failed!) so he said something like "I guess we gotta get married, then." Then we went to a jewelers to pick out the ring and he opened a credit account to pay for it on monthly installments. Guess who ended up making the payments 'cause he didn't have enough money?? :burning:

Divorced in 1996. The ring thing being just the tip of the iceberg...

And so noone has ever REALLY proposed to me...sniff sniff... :bawl:

IF, by some great stroke of temporary insanity I actually WANT to get married again, I don't want a fancy ring – I'd rather have a new saddle! (Hey, that's symbolic of a close relationship isn't it?) :biggrin:
