yup, it compliments the engagement. Imagine wat it'll look like when u tell pple that u're engaged and they see no ring on ur finger, they might prolly think u're faking it or desperate.

well, itz the culture
for the couple to be engaged before getting married and prresentation of rings is one of the things that goes with engagement

Re: Must A Man Have An Engagement Ring Before He Proposes? by iice(f): 3:54am On Sep 12, 2006
Sure a ring goes with engagement, but what if the proposal was spontenous and the guy ddnt have a ring on him but he really meant his proposal, would the girl refuse on the basis of no ring in sight? So long as he produces one later its all good.

eeeeh yes he should, as a way of preserving the culture. But I guess if there
is money issues, he can propose without one.

God go provide money for me when my time comes smiley

My fiancee didn't mind buying one, i think she shares the same opinion with u.It wasn't really money problem,t'was just that i didn't see it as compulsory.
Re: Must A Man Have An Engagement Ring Before He Proposes? by Busta(f): 4:28am On Sep 13, 2006

ohhh now THAT maks her a lady?? because you are too stingy to provide a ring for your LADY .shame on you hahahahaha
proposing is not just a thing you do every day,like asking a lady out or so.

that moment should be in a ladies mind FOREVER,so be a gentleman.

of course a desperated woman takes any men ,ring or no ring,they might be happy someone is asking them.

a real lady want to be asked the RIGHT way and therefore a ring is a must.

if you want to pop the question THINK before you ask her,and be at least prepared for that big moment.just don't ask your lady out of the blue moon.so that way you will have enough time to get a ring.

ps: it does not have to be an expensive ring,just for gods sake let him have a ring when he is asking ME smiley
