Abee79: I proposed marriage to my wife over the phone because of the distance between us. yes, WITHOUT A RING. We've been HAPPILY married for three years....Hum,I was also proposed to over the phone with the words of his mouth,we have planned our wedding ceremony.Hum,ladies should think more of what they can put into the marriage to make it work,the ceremony u are anxious about would only last for minutes and the rest wld be story,it seems to be like ceremonial competion thses days.What then should be said about the deeperlife members who do not use rings for wedding ceremony let alone engagement.For christ sake,giving of ring is a borrowed culture. |

pkween: And for how long should the engagement ring be worn?I think that should be a question for another day. Normally, it should be worn along with the wedding band. So, "forever" will be the answer to that question. |

HisRib: The reason is not far fetched, ur views are not on point, in this particular thread u sound like someone raised based on the western culture, which by the way is foolishness to us here, with few exceptions though You're supporting something that is alien to us, & not just supporting it but advising someone to flee just because there is no ring, that is foolishness dearie!! |
Re: Marriage Proposal Without A Ring by HisRib(f): 6:34pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
therealMcCain: If the whole engagement ring was so "alien" to Africans, why would this young lady find it odd that her man proposed ringless? If proposing ringless was a common thing in Africa, this topic would've never been a discussion in the first place. Stop trying to look for reasons to justify your cheapness. If the girl wants a ring, get her a ring. That simple. |

Well, my husband asked me 2 marry him last year Dec "without" a ring. February, he finished the traditional requirements and now we are legally married. He told me engagement ring is not promising. And I have a school mate(secondary) that was proposed to and she wore d ring 4 like 2years, now they are nt 2geda again. Also my coursemate was proposed to and after a while she stopped wearing d ring and she got married immediately 2 some1 else. My POINT is that with or without a ring, once ur man is serious and sincere the marriage will be a reality. 1 Like |

gcfr.com:Please what is the difference?? |
Re: Marriage Proposal Without A Ring by Nobody: 9:46pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
anitank:Ask is seen as a recommendation and an order. "I ask you to do this" Proposal is the most formal. You propose to your girlfriend that the pair of you get married; it's unlikely that you would "ask" the same thing. This is why researchers write proposals for research. You can also ask google too. |
Re: Marriage Proposal Without A Ring by anitank(f): 11:27pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
gcfr.com:Well IMO... When a man proposes to a lady, it means he is "asking" her to marry him OR "asking" for her hand in marriage, either way she can choose to accept or decline. I don't have to google, it's just pure common sense 2 Likes |

HisRib: I really now see why some of you girls get more broken hearted, because you were thinking so much on ring. HisRib, this love issue streams from the heart, not from ring. If I were you, I would want to deal more with the genuineness of the heart, than a pretentious passionate prostrate proposal! |

HisRib: I'm sorry, I never knew that the OP's lifestyle was an epitome of the african culture!! Truth be told, both of you belong to the same boat, I pasted an excerpt from Wikipedia on the origin of the engagement ring, yet u have refuse to see that it's not an African thing Pls I'm not cheap, I know what I have done for my partner & what i still plan to do, even if the ring was free or N500, I won't buy it for her Why should my partner place such importance on something so trivial when there are serious issues to deal with Funnily, I told her about this thread and ur Views, her question was will the engagement ring guaranty security or happiness?? bottom line: whatever rocks ur boat dearie |

Do men wear engagement rings? |
Re: Marriage Proposal Without A Ring by therealMcCain: 9:42am On Nov 20, 2013 |
ngozievergreen: Do men wear engagement rings? In Nordic countries, engagement rings are worn by both men and women. In some countries it is common for both men and women wear engagement rings. In many Lutheran sects often the man wears an engagement ring. Sometimes, the engagement ring eventually serves as the wedding ring for the man. In Brazil, for example, the groom and bride-to-be usually wear a plain wedding band on the right hand during the course of their engagement. After the wedding, the band is moved to the left hand. In Argentina, it is also known for the groom and bride-to-be to wear a plain silver band on the left hand while engaged. Then, after the wedding a silver band is either replaced with the wedding ring or moved to the right hand. Source:wikipedia |

Re: Marriage Proposal Without A Ring by Tinkybabe(f): 10:53am On Nov 20, 2013 |
Just like many have said,an engagement ring is significant.It is the evidence or proof of a proposal..We know how signicant proofs are these days to establish or confirm a worded agreement or claim.It has to be physical,something that can be seen. Now why a ring?A ring is a round object having no start or end point and this symbolises life eternal.When a man extends a ring to the woman he purposes to spend the rest of his life with,he's assuring her of his eternal love for..a love that has no end(whether he stays true to this is subjective) Why it is given by the man and not exchanged by both parties?proposal is the prelim stage,an introductory stage.He is the one doing the proposal-all he requires from the woman is a positive reply,her acceptance.He brought up the deal,he has to prove the seriousness or sincerity of his proposal with something physical ,a ring. The deal is then completely sealed by both parties when they exchange wedding rings But really,this was started by someone and has been practised over generations so it's a tradition..if you ask me though,I think it's logical. |

I would never wear a 1K ring. I deserve a lot more than that. If my supposed future husband shows up with a ring less than 10K, I don't think he knows me well, therefore us getting engaged is probably not a great option. I have all the qualities required to be an exceptional wife. I'm worth every penny. |
