Hubby got me a very, very nice engagement ring when he proposed, I'm lucky. I told him that I didn't care if he gave me a cubic zirconia from Walmart, because honestly I don't like wearing rings!!!!
He bought it anyways. I don't wear it often and he realized that, but he also realized that the ring is not what counts what counts is the relationship and the love that the two of you have for each other.
Did I sound too corny? Probably, I don't like to say things like this, but I wanted you to see my point.
