Of Rings & more rings~
A post i forgot to post almost half a year ago in randomness reads like this:
(if you are easily offended and cannot take humor,
please skip to the next post above,
otherwise, i hope this offers a few laughs ;p)
Why should men splurge on their proposal rings?
Ans: Because the proposal ring is used to show off to her parents,
relatives, best friends, colleagues, secret lover/admirers.
1) If the proposal ring is huge and expensive;
Her mum & dad will be happier and more willing to marry their daughter to you.
In the event of a future quarrel, they might just add that lil something
to bring her home to you due to that ring ;p
Think about it, which other higher power would she yield to other than God?
Her parents of course.
This is important because as JRR Tolkien would say, that ONE RING
will grant you a second chance, like a REVIVE button just in case
you screw it up in the future.
2) Her best friends and colleagues will be so envious of her
i.e. She will be so happy that you actually cared to give her face
in front of her best friends and colleagues.
With reference to point 1 above, her best friends and colleagues
might give you some help to reduce the magnitude of your
future screw up (again) and you can be assured that
they will be reminding her of the ONE RING that you have given her.
Free marketing that you can never buy.
3) If the proposal ring is extremely expensive;
All her secret lovers/admirers will not just walk,
they will run far far away from your insignia and never come back.
Simply put, if the price of the ring puts you off (no pun intended),
it would also put them off.
and they won't come back cause they can't afford it ;p
Those losers will most probably flood the Uncle Agony forum
with all their kns topics.
You can then be worry-free and can confidently tell her
you have faith in her even in bad times ;p.
Unless there's really such stiff competition out there who would
want to splurge to win someone else's wife's attention,
its unlikely to happen.
Disclaimer for pt 3:
The above most probably would not happen unless all your
neighbours are gay,
and they also happen to have more than just a liking for you.
The bottom line?
At least $30k for a proposal ring please.
If not; we can resort to the next suggestion/alternative;
4) The ring is just a symbolic thing.
Substitute it with an Onion ring,
tell her its biodegradable,
serves the same purpose. and best of all.
you can eat the onion ring when you are hungry.
Period.
