Comment I didn't buy a ring and my wife LOVES me (Score 1) 2388
Finally a thread that made me comment (even worse, made me read the comments).
I knew this was marketing BS right from the start. What if I told you that in order to prove your love to your wife you needed to spend two months salary on my consulting services? Would seem a little self-serving, huh? And everyone thinks it's a tradition when in reality this 'tradition' is less than 100 years old. Similar social marketing schemes today have convinced everyone they 'need' a new car (finance it of course), and that borrowing money up to their necks is a good way to live.
When we got engaged, I bought my wife a used car instead to replace the jalopy she drove. And we bought our wedding rings very cheap and used at an estate store.
A marriage is made by two loving adults, not by rings or rocks or anything else.
The only ring I'd pay 2 months salary for is the one Bilbo found...
