AWWWW! As a Harry Potter fan, I would definitely say yes! I grew up with the books and they're a big part of my childhood. Also, the selection of the chapter is very clever.  |

Now give me one good reason (I'm sure you will) for being such an offensive a$$hole!
I can give you two:
i) Domestic violence.
ii) Requirement of valuables in exchange for "marital services". |

Um, because the penalty of breaking the vow is death? Like I said before I joined the tangent team, which one would die if they divorced? What about infidelity? would a separation be enough to do them in or would it just give them a really bad illness? I'm overthinking it. Also, the game. |

I'd be unhappy that they wasted hundreds on a very small piece of rock obtained by extremely unethical methods and sold at vastly inflated prices by a cartel.
I like the way you think. I've never thought about it, because I've never proposed... but I agree.
I will demonstrate my affections in a much more grand and honest fashion! I will build my future fiancee a gazebo, or hot tub, or a piece of art. ... I could climb a mountain or some symbolic gesture...
Screw this diamond ring thing. I will not marry anyone who overemphasizes the value of a diamond beyond that of an excellent cutting tool. |

Also, it's bad business for prostitutes to hit their customers.

Angillion, I'll remeber that the next time the wife is after a new ring. I'll get her a peice of gypsum and tell her you said it was ok. :)
I'll be sure to post pictures of the bruises.
I suggest granite instead - it's usually very long-lasting, which is supposed to be the symbolism people are after. Nothing is eternal, but granite was around 4 billion years ago and could be around in another 4 billion years, which is about as good as you're going to get for rock from Earth.
Tell your wife from me she should be after cash instead - it's much more useful and it's a much more honest business transaction. Also, it's bad business for prostitutes to hit their customers. |

nubblins, you could always pretend that a friend of yours got engaged and that the stone on the ring had been that friend's favourite stone, and that you thought this was a sweet gesture. Something like that should stick in his mind if he is thinking he might propose one day.
Or, more sensibly, tell your friends that you want an opal ring. He will most likely ask your friends what kind of ring you want before buying it. |

@hand
I think it's less because it's shiny and more because the gem is expensive.
I think the thought process would be something like, "obviously you only care enough about me to get me a 100 dollar ring.. clearly I'm not worth that much to you." A less self-absorbed woman would appreciate the gesture not because of the stone, but what it symbolizes.
Now, I'm quite fond of opals and I'd prefer one, but diamonds are what is "expected" for an engagement.. So when (if ever) my man pops the question, I have a feeling it would be a diamond. There's just no easy way of saying, "baby, if you ever propose, I want an opal ring..." without being too presumptuous that he would even ask me to marry him to begin with.. heh. The best I can do is mention in passing my love of opals and hope he gets the hint... xD

Aww. I quite love it when people get creative. Although I also loved it when my fiance went the traditional route, down on one knee in front of our friends. The ring he gave me was worth 50$, but it was really just meant for the proposal (because he wanted me to get to choose the actual engagement ring). I was fine with keeping the 50$ ring though, but it ended up breaking, so we bought a diamond ring.
If I had looked into this moissanite stuff though, I think I would have gone that route. |

How did this post turn from a grin-inducing proposal to a debate on the size and legitimacy of certain gemstones over others? Who cares? Wedding rings don't really matter anyway. If a person can't remember they're married on their own, the size or type of rock isn't going to make any difference.
The post is about a creative, clever, nerdy way to propose. It was cute. Next. |

I knew what you meant, but I was in dick-mode I suppose. Personally, I like corundum (sapphires and rubies.) They're almost as hard as diamonds and come in a rainbow of colors. |
