Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?
I happen to love my ring! And to be honest, its not what i pictured myself wearing. When we went shopping i always looked at something completely different. However, now that i have this ring, i couldnt imagine having anything else. It fits me and more important, it is from him and something he picked out all on his own.
I dont think that it matters where its from! Mine is from Tiffanys, but i would be just as happy if it was from Walmart because it was from my FH. Maybe he couldnt afford what you want, but im sure he did the best that he could. Dont take that away from him. By complaining and refusing to wear it, do you think he's going to want to buy you another one?

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?
Posted by FUTUREBRIDETOKEITH
I was just curious if everyone likes their engagement ring. I am not to fond of it. It's cute It is a heart shape diamond and silver but I know it is from Walmart. I just feel like he should have saved up alittle while and got something else. All of his other friends have rings that cost in the thousands. Then when I come with my walmart special it just doesn't look right.
Also I feel we have broken engagements before. So Many fights I think a fresh start which what we are having with the new date maybe a new ring
I want everything right this time.
Maybe he could not afford anything else. 2 years ago fh gave me a promise ring, from kmart, it was 1/4 ct, and yellow gold, and I showed that ring off like nobodys business. I always thought when we got engaged I would get this HUGE 2 ct at least diamond, fh comes from a super wealthy family, and everyone I know was expecting it, but I didnt. my center stone isnt even 1 ct..its .96(close to 1 ct, but not quite) and truthfully, I couldnt love anything more. He told me for our 10th wedding anniversary, we would upgrade, to any size stone I want, but I dont think I am going to do that. It means the world to me that he went out, with me in mind, and came back with a ring truely from his heart. It is a symbol of his love for you, it isnt about how big it is, or how much money it cost, its about spending the rest of your lives together. I think its very selfish to be upset over this, there are lots of girls who never get an engagement ring.

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?
WIth time I think you will get the ring you want. Maybe for an anniversary gift
I love my ring!! I was shocked because FH picked it out without me ever saying what I wanted. He has a hard time picking out his own jeans. But my ring is perfect for me!!

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?
In the end, your love for each other and the commitment he asked you to share with him forever are 100% more important than a ring and obviously you know that. On the other hand, an engagement ring is a big part of your engagement period. I've noticed everytime someone congratulates me, it is the absolute next statement, "so, let's see the ring!" It must be hard to show off a ring that deep down you are unhappy with. My suggestion is that you speak with him about it before any more time passes. Maybe you can get another one when you go for your wedding bands, or perhaps wait till you are married for a year, but i think it will hurt his feelings more if so much time passes w/out u saying anything....

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?
From a man's point of view. I was quite disheartened while my fiance was telling me about this post, and felt that this post really needed a mans touch. While I understand that you would have liked a ring from some crazy expensive jewelry store, I think you should be a little more sympathetic.
A ring is a symbol of everlasting love, and the reason he did not take the time to save the money is because of his crazy love for you and probably because of his fear of losing you.
It shouldn't matter where he got the ring from, rings can always be improved. The fact that he wants to marry you, and spend the rest of his life with you is what matters. Not the size of the diamond, and not even the ring in general. Hell the first time I asked my fiance to marry me, I didn't have a pocket to piss in, and I gave her a piece of chewing gum. That still did not stop her from shedding a tear and saying yes.
If I were you and I want to sound the least offensive when I say this! I would take what I can get because with an attitude such as yours, it is going to be hard to find another man. Material things shouldn't matter. Try to prioritize! What is really important? A ring? or Undying Devotion of a loved one? Food on the table? or a late night at the local pub? Clothes, and a roof over your head? or a poker game with 500 of your best friends?
Look at what you have and don't take it for granted. Again I don't mean to be offensive, I just think someone needed to open your eyes, and maybe all of your eyes. Please dont' take offense, just think about what you are complaining about!

Agree! How could anyone "refuse" to wear a ring given to them by someone they love? My FH and I are very young and he saved and saved to get me a ring that he thought I would love. He was still paying it off months after he proposed. To be honest with you, he could have given me a ring from a machine at Waldbaums and I would have been happy. I love my ring and it is not 2 or 3 cts. I don't want to upgrade it because this is what he picked for me. This is the ring that when he saw it, he thought it would be the perfect ring to ask me to be his wife. Marriage is not about your ring. I know its easy to start thinking about material things, especially when planning a wedding, but think about your FH. He's obviously a good guy. Don't hurt his feelings.

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?
I did not mean to offend anyone. It is a matter of the promises that were broken with the ring. Your guys make promises to you when you get the ring. When I got this ring he made promises that are broken. Engagements that are broken.
I thought if something was new maybe all the bad luck would go away.

One of thing you should not do is compare your FH to anyone else. Just be happy and appreciative of him and the things he does for you. It is only a ring and it cannot compare to true love.

It is a symbol of his love for you, it isnt about how big it is, or how much money it cost, its about spending the rest of your lives together. I think its very selfish to be upset over this, there are lots of girls who never get an engagement ring.
I am not being selfish. The promises were broken. All his friends are broke to. But they can afford a better ring.
One of thing you should not do is compare your FH to anyone else. Just be happy and appreciative of him and the things he does for you. It is only a ring and it cannot compare to true love.
you all talk about your FH wanting to upgrade later. Mine never talks about that. Maybe I am doing the wrong thing. But is sure has become a heated subject on this site. Makes me feel like not wanting to come on here. I just dont know anymore. I really wanted to get the teeshirt but I do not know!
I for one is not trying to knock you but only to let you know that you have more going on than this ring. He loves and cherishes you and nothing can compare to that.
I feel like everyone doesn't understand how I feel.
I am trying to understand your feelings but at the same time I am trying to let you know do not let such trivial matter get between a good relationship especially you are about to marry to the love of your life.
I agree with you he is the love of my life. And yes i know i handled this whole ring thing wrong.

Re: Does everyone like their engagement ring?
I agree isn't it more about staring a life together, creating your own family, and spending the rest of your life with your best friend?!? I love my ring even though it is the complete oppisite of what I picked out lol. He put time into getting it made and the proposal was over the top! I am just very happy to being spending the rest of my life with someone who loves me the same as I love him. It is like the others said..you can always upgrade later on. Just enjoy the relationship.

I was just curious if everyone likes their engagement ring. I am not to fond of it. It's cute It is a heart shape diamond and silver but I know it is from Walmart. I just feel like he should have saved up alittle while and got something else. All of his other friends have rings that cost in the thousands. Then when I come with my walmart special it just doesn't look right.
Also I feel we have broken engagements before. So Many fights I think a fresh start which what we are having with the new date maybe a new ring
I want everything right this time.
Wow, this post shocked me. If the ring is that important to you then you should say something. BUT, I think it is kinda mean what you said. A ring is no indication of whether your FH loves you or not. A happy marriage does NOT need a fancy, expensive eng. ring
JMHO
Good luck

Mean?
You do not know what I have been through in the last nine in a half years. To love someone so much and to keep that love in your heart every time you want to run out the door.
I am tired of people judging me on this internet. I even got yelled at by a man. Try living with you MIL and she can yell at you wish you die, then when she needs you she is your best friend. SIL's that never call when their mother says bad things about you to hear your side. They only hear a part of the truth.
What is wrong with me wanting to do things right? I am sure all of your relationships are not that perfect and you are not willing to open up like i did
