nicely put

I stumbled on a website that was basically a blog about weddings. about how when someone gets engaged the first thing girls say is 'OMG WHERE IS THE RING' like getting an engagement ring is the initiation rite into girl-dom...'yup girls, I finally suckered a poor hapless sap to walk down the aisle with me...' shouldn't the focus be on the couple, and not on the materialistic object that society has determined is the focus of this whole shindig? If I ever get engaged/married/whatever, I dont want a stupid diamond. The have no color. Give me something pretty and blue, with a little bit of color. and nothing too expensive either, I'd be afraid of losing it. my mom gave me a 300 ring for my 18th birthday, I'm scared to wear it though cuz I dont want to lose it. also, shortly after my mom bought the ring, the place she bought it from was shut down for money laundering...in podunk bangor maine...so its kind of cool that way too. anyways, marriage is about the people, not about how much you spend, where you have it, or any of that crap. Like how people put pictures of their engagement rings on facebook...how about a picture of your fiancee?? Stupid.
