    I live in the southeast of the US and I see lots of married couples that do not have wedding rings, but rather something that looks like it came out of a cereal box. When did plastic rings become a thing for marriages? I have never understood people going in to debt for a wedding ring but this seems a bit overkill. What's going on? I'm tempted to get married again so I can figure out what they are all about. Is this happening in other countries?

        They're easier to remove than tattoo's.

                              A friend of mine bought wedding rings at a total $80 US, about 12 year's ago. I told him he was an idiot and I wished his marriage would last more than 5 years. He started cheating on his wife after 3 years. I haven't talked to him since. Is there a correlation between what you put into a wedding ring and a happy marriage? Probably not, but who the hell buys his wife a $40 dollar ring, and what kind of bride says that is Ok? :confused:

                                    I dunno - aren't there more important things to put into a marriage than an overpriced loop of a good conductor and a lump of squashed carbon? Maybe that's what the silicon bands are saying ...

                                          Although I think going in to debt to buy a wedding ring is not smart, spending $6 doesn't seem like it is being taken serious enough.

                                          Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.
