Awesome. I think my favorite line is, "Diamonds are forever. Like roaches."

My father buys my mother jewels . . . in their natural forms.

She studied crystal physics in graduate school. The idea of cutting up perfectly good gemstones makes her furious.

Despite repeated conversations (that he claims too not remember) that I wanted a non-traditional engagement ring should we ever get engaged, my fiance proposed to me outside the freakin' jewelry store because he was so petrified about buying the wrong ring, then acted disappointed when I walked right past the diamonds and over to the much prettier (in my opinion) and much cheaper colored gems. In the end I selected a star sapphire (which turned out to be more romantic b/c sapphire is his birthstone) set in a one of a kind setting that despite it's originality ended up being only $600 dollars. And despite the fact that this ring means much more to me than some crap diamond ring, that he would have probably felt might never be big enough, when people ask to see my ring, and I proudly thrust my star reflecting blue ring with the one of a kind setting in their face, they still cringe and comment on how he was too cheap to buy me a diamond!

Ahhh, those videos were fantastic! My boy originally thought he HAD to buy me a ring, and he HAD to spend two thousand dollars, but that was because we'd never, ever discussed it. He's quite aware now that I would much rather he asks my dad for my grandmother's opal ring, if he must use a ring at all.

This does not stop my best friend from telling me I need a ring, and official engagement.

bwahahaha thanks for the laugh. I've been slowly building up annoyance at all the jewelry ads on tv these days, and I don't even watch that much.

Ragdoll – Here here!

I mean, isn't that the essence of Offbeat Bride-ery – bringing the wedding back to meaning something by making it about the two people getting married? Not Hallmark. Not the bridal magazines. Not what's trendy or attention-grabbing or meant to show up other weddings.

When I look at my ring, (and you probably feel the same thing,) I see a long history and a lot of meaning. It's not big, it doesn't get attention, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

(Oh, and my favorite video has got to be the birth control one!)

That ring is my baby , so glad to see someone else using an old family jewel. To me , letting it go to waste is the same as a blood diamond. Besides , If it has lasted all through the decades , and even made it through the Great Depression unscathed , it must be special.
