Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend
What do we think about engagement rings? Overrated, archaic, outdated symbol of commitment? Or pretty, pretty, sparkly rock of love to be admired and envied by all who shall lay eyes on it?
The boyfriend and I engage in various odd topics prior to drifting off to dreamland. The other night we were discussing engagement rings. Not that we’re getting hitched or anything but somehow the topic came up. A close friend of mine has a two carat engagement ring that I absolutely ADORE. She also received another two carats (two one carat side stones) on her second wedding anniversary. The boyfriend just thought the entire concept of spending so much money on diamonds was ridiculous. I argue that it’s a symbol of love and anything less than one carat is just <shudder> unthinkable!
I do believe I am slowly morphing into someone I used to despise.
