    Some people never even get “wedding rings” and just wear the fancy looking engagement rings forever.

    That being said, wedding rings make use of the wed/wedded connotations. :shrug:

      While I don’t see the necessity in wearing a ring in the first place - yet I am a sucker for rings - what always gets me is having a fancy overpriced engagement ring that you’re supposed to wear for a short period of time and then a simple wedding ring that you’re supposed to wear forever.

        You can blame the debeers company for the engagement ring. Just like you can blame Kellogg’s for the slogan “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”.
