Tinyemeka:
It's an engagement ring.
Not a wedding ring.
Are you supposed to be engaged forever?

Lol no.

Wait, so after the engagement y'all stop wearing the ring?

Buoyantic: with your kpomo mouth? Na expensive ring you dey find,u go old

Who r u n y should I care about your opinion?

MrsBreezy:

Lol no.

Wait, so after the engagement y'all stop wearing the ring?

Nope.
Some ladies start afresh with the new wedding ring, while others just add the new wedding ring (which may now be EXPENSIVE if the dude values his wife) in front of the engagement ring. I get your point. If the engagement ring was cheap (or appeared so), they could use it less frequently. It's the wedding ring which has the greater value.

My point is that the engagement ring doesn't have to be Kim Kardashiatic. If you get my drift.

Ishilove:
Well it happens very often here. You tie the lady down with a ring but refuse to do the needful because of different flimsy reasons.

I guess that's one mentality we have to get out of our heads... the "tied down" mentality. no1 used rope to put any1 in a dungeon(that's kidnap btw) and as far as you aint married? Girl u as single as the next sister without a boyfriend!

Although these things aint always black n white, some peeps actually get married after years n years of engagement n some don't. Guess we all gotta be careful as not to rush into misery or waste years waiting...

Lol. You got that right

jashar: Choi OP. You just reminded me. I don't care if my gown is #2000 or if the whole ceremony costs #3000,but that ring ehn must come from only 3 jewellers.
1.Tacori.
2.Cartier.
3.Tiffany.
That's all.

Ahh....you? Wan? Kill? Ham?

As the Pussycat Dolls'd say, "Be careful what you wish for, cos you just might get it".

Fork engagement ring !!!

When my father married my mother he didn't gave her an engagement sh*t.
Love is what matters not buying a $40,000 engagement like kanye west.

even if he gives u a rubber ring
wt matters most,
is, u're spending d rest of ur life wt the man of ur dream.
an expensive ring does not guarantee safety marriage nor a happy home.
he could propose to u wt a diamond ring, yet ur marriage won't be expensive.
by expensive, i don't mean money. i mean no marriage would ever
be as interesting as urs.

MrCork:


^^^^ guys,u see how they lie?...ask her wot bus goes to Peckam and she suddenly change topic and started talkin about train....so u own a train at home? ..abi?.. Black women!!!

She's on drugs! Due to that statement people would b of the opinion house rent anywhere in London is pocket change!

MrCork:


^^^^^ typical black woman...they lie tryin to impress u..u catch them out and guess what?.. They start cussing u like witch doctor.

..ok..u been to London,right?... What bus goes to Peckam?

for educational purposes let me highlight this girls foolishness! Why am annoyed is cause I was born and raised there! And don't like people talking nonsense! If this girl has stepped into London! She should have compared peckham with a higher class area in that SAME london. Such as MAYFAIR or PARK LANE or KENSINGTON or CANARY WHARF ! In her foolishness she compared it to a whole different city(state as it would be in niaja)

And he likes you too ma

MrsBreezy:


I like you.

MrsBreezy:

God Forbid!!!

breezy why?

MrsBreezy:

And what if your hubby detests the idea of buying something so extravagant but something relative cheap, you gonna call off the marriage? or tell him you don't want?

lol I now know the reason the divorce rate increases day by day.

I just dey laugh In ma opinion though, a man should propose with something special, within his means I.e. what he can afford without soaking garri without groundnut in future It doesn't have to be a ring. That's ma opinion though

Adaeze003: Hmm... I think I'm logical in my dealings so it depends. So you gave me a cheap ring coz its love that matters? I hope you won't mind if I don't use it after that night? It's the love that matters rii? If you won't mind then I guess I'll consider... But then again, to get married, one must be financially stable ie, have a steady source of income(doesn't matter how much) so, if you do have a source of income, what's your excuse 4 getting me something that'll wash out in a month?

If you don't believe you must give me a ring to prove anything then don't! Carry on with marriage rights without it after all its not our culture.

So yes, I care 4 the type of ring. It must be worth something or none at all...

The fact that a man gives you a cheap ring does not mean he is not financially stable. One secret to prolonged and an exciting relationship is contentment and appreciation. What if he uses the money to plan for something better for you? You never can tell. I know a lot of couples who after spending a lot on engagement ring, do not share anything else valuable.

Just to let you know, if you aren't contented with the cheap ring he gives you, it may cause a lot of havoc in that relationship unknowingly because he surely b would never be happy with you.

A lot of marriage that has been successful is mainly as a result of contentment on the part of the couples.

Shouldn't worship money or material things...anything he can afford. Just decent would do

I would care more about the quality of the man.

MsSteph: my engagement ring can cost N100 but my wedding ring must be expensive because u wear it for a long time and if it not original after some time the ring will start looking as if it was made by a panel beater. looking Rusty and Ugly

At least you have a good point which is reasonable, unlike MrsBreezy . Truly something of quality is needed but not necessarily extravagant right?

katzz: Shouldn't worship money or material things...anything he can afford. Just decent would do

Welcome to Nairaland

The bride shouldnt really expect much if she is marrying a scrooge.

priscaoge:
U are right my dear. Some places present a wicked list as if they wanna sell their daughter. After d marriage ceremony,the guy will go into hiding because of the money he borrowed. The bride price in my place is 25Naira(With few items)if u like be a multi millionaire is not their business,just pay d bride price,what they want is for u to take proper care of their daughter....#Thatsall

Is true. I saw one list that would stock a market stall. Tinned milks, biscuits, bags of rice, sugar, salt, noodle, goats, chicken, etc. It is nonsense. As long as the boy is bringing pepper, honey, salt, yam, etc for a traditional meeting with the family, that is what is important, respect and willingness to sit down and consummate the deal by lowering head to the man of the house and father of the bride, both sides offering in good faith and wishes for a sweet union.

MrsBreezy:

Watch out. Ladies with your mindset are the easiest to game.

Buy expensive ring. You are happy. Then switch it out with a good knock-off. You are still happy. Free osho for guy man. Then 6 months later, you start emailing bloggers looking for advice.

As some gwongworo have it -- be careful. many have gone.

avuekwe: I don't want any again, just go and see my parents finish. Do the right thing , that's my own.

Gals on rampage... #LOL

MrsBreezy:

Loooool wow. The way you jump into conclusions. Lol my choice of ring doesn't define how I am...

Lol I'm not even looking for advice.. if you knew me I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have stated the above.

1. I do not live in Peckham.
2. We all know Peckham is equivalent to Harlem.
3. Lol I do not care if u think I've stepped into London or not. It is only 30 minutes away.
4. Lol that was with MrCork not with you. I would have proposed a highly different comparison.
5. Foolishness lol.
