[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An engagement ring and a wedding.  I've told my SO that he is NOT to get me an engagement ring and that if he does, it means he doesn't know me and we need to go our separate ways.[/quote]

You're the first person I've heard express this--I thought I was the only one![/quote]

I didn't get/want one either. I hate solitaire rings catching on everything.[/quote]

2nd PP here. I didn't just not want an engagement ring--the OP and I also don't/didn't want a wedding. I will admit I caved on that one because I realized that my mother really wanted the wedding (I was her only child) and it would just sit better with my conservative ILs and others if there were both a church wedding and reception afterwards--even though we had already gotten married by a justice of the peace. But I've told my own daughter that I'd rather just give her the money than pay for a big wedding reception--it will be enough for a downpayment for a home. In my own case, I would have settled for a low-key backyard party or the like to bring friends and loved ones together but not the usual costly wedding reception that so many people have. Too many cultures, including ours, spend way too much on what is effectively a very costly party that lasts only a few hours (or days, in some cultures). [/quote]
