          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?

          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 ...

                            More money for burgers and fries and the ring grows with you. Perfect

                              I got engaged to the missus about 30 yrs ago and neither of us thought there was any point in a wedding. Still happily together. Our laws treat married and defacto people the same, so a wedding served absolutely no point or relevance what-so-ever... (and no I don't care what peoples pixies might think :) ) So don't like and don't wear any rings. The missus has a collection of rings she wears as she pleases.

                                      They are rubberized rings. They are getting more and more common with people who work with their hands, especially using power tools. The thinking behind it is if the ring gets snagged, it breaks the ring off instead of the ring tearing your finger off. But, of course, other people just use them because they're cheap.

                                        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?

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

                                        We favor the paper bands from cigars.

                                        If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

                                          plain gold band: wife's got skinny fingers only cost about $100 when bought. my fingers a bit fatter, almost an oz, paid around $300 ... worth a wee bit more now (but not a profit, kids have negative geared that way below zero.)
