I dont have an "engagement ring" ... only a wedding ring. Why is this so shocking?

question of compassflygirl : I dont have an "engagement ring" ... only a wedding ring. Why is this so shocking? My husband and I went through when we got married. And I mean "really" blown ... not "have a destination wedding with 50 of our closest friends and family" blown. He asked me to him on the 27th May married while we were in the redwoods in California camping. on 2 June we flew back to Cali, rented a car and drove to the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and on the 4th June, on a secluded beach in the rain, .. our only witnesses said the judge married woman and two geese, which wandered on the beach, we knew even before we got "engaged", that we marry us in this way. There was never any "engagement ring". We both work for an airline (he's a captain and I work in flight operations planning and monitoring flights) we are just couldnt justify the cost and to be honest, I find clunky, fussy jewelry to be a pain in the hiney, especially when I pick on a computer all day. I have an incredible wedding ring .... TIFFANY & CO. wedding ring ... a rose gold Elsa Peretti fit band with a small diamond embedded in it. It makes me smile every time I look at it, and anyone who knows me always noticed that it said to me perfekt.Also someone PLEASE why are people so up to the fact that i dont some huge rock on my hand have hanged? Im getting really sick of women comment on how my husband is not really committed because he or she will not buy me an engagement ring $ 10000000000000000000. (Um. .. he bought me a car when we were still better than a ring .... ... sorry!) Or that he is cheap (Um. .. hello ... my wedding ring is from Tiffany's! ) Ive had people ask me if my husband is planning to buy me a "real set" or if we "saving up for an engagement ring" None of my grandparents had diamond rings and they were all happy, 50 + years of marriage. They did not elaborate weddings and receptions $ 20K ..... they were the people who taught me how to love and be a good wife. If they could do this without an expensive piece of jewelry, I knew I did not need to prove that my husband is my world! Please tell me that I was not the only person who has a wedding ring prefers diamonds! Dont get me wrong ... Diamonds are considered very beautiful and I think they look nice on other people, but honestly, if I tried, I thought they looked ridiculous on me .... They certainly looked better than in the case on my hand! If a piece of jewelry looks pretty on you and you want it and your husband or wife can afford it, you should never .... I did it! Any other "wedding ring only" women out there? How do you go to do with superficial people? What were your reasons for chosing only wear a wedding ring Best Answer: Wed response from Elizabeth Berry
people are fucking haters. I got married after working in the last month for a month and everyone has spoken of shit too. Most of them are single losers though. Fuck them, enjoy your wedding reception or a big expensive ring DONT guarantee a happy marriage.
