COOPER&BURNETT Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I absolutely don't want a man to feel inadequate just because he can't buy me one of those rings. Whatever ring he gives to me I'll be on cloud 9!It could be just like in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" where Paul gives Holly a ring he found in crisps and he has it engraved in the store.In any case Tiffany has beautiful sterling silver rings at $200 and they're perfect because they'd match the things I already own.All of my Tiffany & Co. jewellery are in this material' date=' since I can't afford anything more.But if he REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to buy me one, and I say "No darling, don't worry, I'll do without it, our love is what counts" but he doesn't listen to me and he INSISTS that he REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to buy me one.......Tiffany & Co. makes payment plans!

Pandina Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yikes!My brain hurts!Somebody hand me an extra large Mojito. Or a Margarita. Or just hit me in the head with a hammer. Are you ok now Richie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandina Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 No offense' date=' but a ring does not a marriage make.[/quote']Sure, Stinger, no offense, I just don’t know the meaning of your sentence so what I’m writing next won’t probably make sense. My mum got a small and cheap ring cause my dad couldn’t afford more and after 43 years of marriage they’re the perfect couple to me.I reckon that dreaming about a $16,500 Tiffany’s engagement ring is not something people would expect from a grown up woman but dreams cost nothing and, besides this, life has slapped me in the face many times that once in a while going back to teenage dreams works. The whole thing about the rings was after Richie’s definition of “high maintenance GFâ€. I don’t give importance to pricey things and surely I don’t choose a man because of his bank account. I got a golden Claddagh as engagement ring, it wasn’t big, not that bright, not branded at all but it was 100% perfect because that ring meant love, nothing more and nothing less. If you do decide to get married' date=' are you willing to relocate to a different country, or is that a deal breaker because you won't leave Italy?[/quote']That’s about turning my whole life upside down, so I’d be extremely cautious before making a decision because if things go wrong it’d be a disaster!It’s not like when you split up with someone in your town, you go left, the other goes right and if paths cross you can always switch the street you’re walking down.

Murphy's Law Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well said, Pandina!Every woman I know has a dream of her perfect engagement ring - it's the most treasured piece of jewelry we'll ever own, because of it's symbolism. And yes, my friends who are married often didn't receive the "dream" version but are even happier with the ring they did get, even if it's a plain gold band.

Pandina Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 And yes' date=' my friends who are married often didn't receive the "dream" version but are even happier with the ring they did get, even if it's a plain gold band.[/quote']I agree Murphy!In teenage years I thought and dreamt of my engagement ring, but when I actually got one, it made me feel like I was thinking about it for the very first time in my life. Probably because I got a Claddagh and didn't remember how to wear it... so embarassing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
