Nah.

The muslims have no guilty conscience about that kind of stuff. Did you hear what the Saudi Minister of Stonings or whatever his title is had to say?

"We took proper precautions, but it was Allah's will that they were trampled."

****. I could get away with a whole bunch of stuff with a generic excuse like that! "Well, officer, it's like this. It is god's will that I ran that stop sign. What could I have done?" He replies, "Yeah, you're right. You had no choice. you're free to go."

It's the same twisted line of reasoning which allows them to blow themselves and innocents up in shopping malls and bus stops, run planes into skyscrapers, gas their neighbors, and use little boys as sex toys since Allah won't let them look at a woman's ankle.

In a nutshell, this is what is so wrong with Arabic/Muslim culture. They can't be held responsible for anything they do, it's all god's fault...

Sheesh.

That WAS kinder and gentler. Hey, I said "congratulations".

Totem, that was a positively poetic post!

Gratz Katie. Best marriage advise I ever received is do not go to bed mad (mind you there is the occasional all nighter) but I've always thought the advise was excellent, and the person that offered it was married over 50 years. So I pass it on sometimes.

Oh, and next time you need fun and some a$$ asks about a diamond scream OMG MY DIAMOND, extra points if you can get them to crawl around the floor looking. I love puzzle rings, I have one too, it's two pieces that do a weird connect.

There is only one diamond in her town, and it's owned by their one and only gangster. He wears it on his tooth, it's his "bling".

What the hell is up with these women and their damn rings ?

My ex Mother In Law told my ex specifically, in no uncertain terms, in front of me no less, that my engagement ring should be "upgraded." Of course, I should probably also mention that she was married for the head she gave, while her husband (my ex's dad) was married for the check he pulled.

The most beautiful ring I've ever seen was also the simplest. It was silver, not even gold, and was two threads intertwined. The man who wore it lit up when I asked him about it. Yes, it was his wedding ring. But what made it special was its symbolism. It wasn't one single band, but two. They were intertwined so closely so that, although there were two separate entities, there was one union with no separation.

It was simply stunning, but really couldn't compare to his face when he talked about his wife.

People that measure their rings by the diamonds, or by the metal they're made with are fools.

There's more to a wedding ring than a price tag or receipt.

I collect rocks. Most of what I've found is Agates and amythists and the like, but I do have a small gem quality saphire that I found. I plan on someday getting it faceted and mounted, probably next to a diamond or something. I have done web pages for several jewelry designers, so getting a ring made probably wouldn't be a big problem. It may not be the biggest or best saphire in the world, but it is something I hope would be more special than some impersonal chunk of carbon randomly picked out of the store.

That's really, really sweet Kaolian, and anyone who didn't appreciate that wouldn't deserve it.

My husband and I don't have rings. We will at some point, but it wasn't our number one priority when all we wanted was to be together. Neither of us had (or has) any money really and we're still recovering from the expense of the INS paperwork, the plane tickets, etc. It seems that every time I think about getting rings, we need to start planning the next trip. Seeing family and friends is far more important to both of us so they keep getting put on the back burner, but we'll get some eventually :)

I never got an engagement ring, and all I wear is a plain gold band as my wedding ring. Like Nexa, the hubby and I just don't have the money for anything more right now. I don't care if I ever get a more extravegant ring, either. It's just not that important.

The 'discussion' about my wife's engagement ring was one of the few arguments I ever actually won. We discussed it long before I went and got the ring and asked the question, and she said that she wanted to go with me to pick it out. I wanted to go alone.

So I stole a line I'd heard or read somewhere before and told her: "I'll go get the ring that I think you should wear. It's obvious I have better taste than you. After all, look who I'm marrying and look who you're marrying."

I still bring that up from time to time whenever I don't feel like having sex for a couple of months.

I won the argument. She doesn't especially appreciate that. Nor does she appreciate me bringing it up. Again. And again. So she gets her revenge that way.

FWIW, I ended up getting her a 1/2 carat marquis-cut solitare, which is exactly what she wanted.

Went a long way to making up for winning an argument.

Just an FYI about the ring. This is from a traditional christian wedding vow.

Quote:
The Blessing of the Rings;
The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows [Groom's name] and [Bride's name] have made to one another. Bless O God these rings, that [Bride's name] and [Groom's name], who give them, and who wear them, may ever abide in thy peace. Living together in unity, love and happiness for the rest of their lives

The Exchange of rings:
[Bride's name] I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, With this ring, I thee wed.

[Groom's name], I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, With this ring, I thee wed.


The style of a wedding ring is not significant. The finger on which it's worn is simply a matter of custom, not religious import.

I made the assumption that Katie and her husband are christians. I simply can't imagine this prase

Anyway. I extend my best wishes for your new marriage.
