How Important is the Ring?

I get that for some the ring is the most important part of the proposal; however, not for me. Earlier in life I always thought I would only marry a man that proposed with a huge diamond rock; however, now well into adulthood I prefer the man that proposed to me with a gold ring and a huge heart. Now...

Now thinking about what wedding band to get him - I want to ensure it symbolizes our unity and not our wallets. While he promised a diamond ring for the wedding - he doesn't know that he is my diamond (along with my children).

What are your thoughts about rings and what they symbolize?

Rosie, I feel the same about my ring. The only thing I cared about was that I had something that fit my lifestyle and I could wear every day. My FH made sure to find one with a sturdy enough setting that I am not paranoid about loosing the stone and small enough that I am not constantly hitting it against things. The only thing I specifically asked for was that there was some type of filagree design (just because that is a style I adore). He picked it out on his own and it is perfect for me. ❤

The thing my ring symbolizes is a constant reminder that he is there supporting me even when we are physically apart. I catch sight of it durring a long day at work and it makes me think of him and how much he cares. It isn't about the price tag but as a physical reminder of our love.

I’ve been pretty clear about what I want in a ring. And for me, it represents not only our engagement, but also that I feel safe expressing my wants to him, that I feel worthy of having money spent on me. I was in a financially abusive marriage for 20 years and felt guilty buying underwear for myself, let alone asking for a piece of jewelry.
I will show that baby off to all my friends with no shame LOL
