    i will never understand that stupid craze about expensive engagement rings… i engaged to my wife without a ring. It was just a very emotional situation, i was sure that i wanted to ask her… and then i just asked. No ring, no special event planned out or something… just asked her, and she said yes.

    People paying cars worth of money for a ring is so unbelievable for me.

      “Once upon a time” an expensive engagement ring worked as a sort of bride price and was a hedge against the risk of premarital sex.
