We don't even wear wedding bands. Definitely didn't want to piss away thousands of dollars on stupid carbon that's the same thing as in charcoal and pencil lead. Really stupid brainwashing. Much better using that money to buy a house or invest.

Americans are so dumb. Blowing tens of thousands in debt to buy a ring and have a big wedding. Nothing like staring out life in massive amounts of debt on top of studentoans all because you both got into the studios wedding industry's propaganda that you need engagement rings and weddings.

This is so comically pathetic. Tell us how very much you care about this without actually telling us...

PP needs to state their case in short declarative sentences and not repeat the use of a certain word like "dumb" because this shows their are not educated.

besides no one cares what she thinks. She can say "Americans are dumb" as long as she wants.

My 20 year anniversary gift is a 4.7 emerald cut diamond with large emerald cut side stones. VVS. F. Yes, my husband loves me a lot

You do you, sweetheart. I mean, you do him...because clearly you're very good at it.

She is one of the smarter women I know.

fake story. no one uses that term. no one

Actually, you are quite wrong. You should read some history

I judge ridiculously large rings. Been married 27 years and still love my 1.52ct pear shaped diamond. I’ve been offered an upgrade but don’t see the point. I’m fine with what I have and half the time, I just wear a diamond and sapphire band.

I judge fat sausage fingers and claw like nails.

+1. Likely significantly more.

I don’t judge by size and rarely notice a ring unless it’s a unique stone or has a really eye catching (in a good or bad way) design. I do also tend to notice emeralds as I absolutely love a simple emerald solitaire ering.

My engagement ring is a Tiffany’s solitaire, a bit over one carat. I did not care about having any certain kind of ring, I’m just not into diamonds and cannot tell one from a CZ. I wanted to kill my husband for spending the money.

My friend’s ring is twice the size and really eye catching but was significantly less expensive then my mine. Her ring is dazzling and eye catching, much more so than mine.

I judge people for even wearing a diamond engagement ring. Antiquated, patriarchial, showy, dumb, and not ethical. There are so many better ways to spend money. Pay off debts, buy a house, use it for education- your life.

Nope. I don’t judge. Sometimes I admire a nice ring, but I don’t negatively judge any rings.

I assume anyone engaged in the last 2 years has a lab stone. Also, the upgrades of some friends and colleagues I also assume are labs.

No, but if you do, you might be making wrong assumptions. A real 1 carat that was popular in the 90s cost more than the now popular 2 carat lab-created stone.

Wow, 16:20 and 16:22 (obviously the same sad person) is incredibly bitter and it shows!
