Funny

I was just watching Sex and the City. I know, very healthy for a single girl living in the city to be watching a show encouraging promiscuity. ANYWAY... this is the episode where Carrie saw that Aidan had bought an ugly ring and she freaked out because the ring was ugly and how could she marry a guy who would not know what ring she would like.

AND... it's funny, because I know someone who exactly did that. The guy actually took her to the country side in California for her birthday, for the whole weekend. He proposed to her with the wrong ring. She said no, and broke up with him right then and there. Later she said that the ring was so ugly that she didn't think that someone who loved her would get the ring wrong. I can't even make this up if I wanted to!

A guy picking up the wrong ring? Yeah, that's unheard of!

The sad part is that someone who knows me would actually say that to me. Because someone who actually knows me would know that I'm the kind of person who would be happy with a paper wedding band.

I just watched that episode a few days ago! Weird...

And yeah, I'm with you on the jewelry front. I would have been so mad if my husband had spent a lot of money on a ring.

I can not believe how materialistic and shallow people are. That girl (the one you know) should be thankful her boyfriend thought enough of her to buy a ring and surprise her. She broke up with him because she didn't get the ring she wanted. HOW SAD!!!

Ern - Well, when you really love the person, those things shouldn't even matter.
What I hate most about that episode is that she's hesitant when she opens the box, but her eyes light up and she smiles when she sees the different ring.

Daisy - Well, I don't think she really loved him after all, and he was a great guy, so I'm happy that that happened so he wouldn't be stuck with someone who doesn't really love him. Things happen for a reason.
