dfb- talking about wedding rings - my H had a funny encounter with a bridezilla this weekend. We were at a business conference and a woman business aquaintance was telling him breathlessly about her recent engagement. She waspretty clueless- H was trying to tell her about the five love languages, and all she could say was that her fiance finally had learned to speak hers. My H repeatedly asked her what HIS love languages were, but all she could say was that he'd finally been trained to speak hers - like all that mattered was HER needs, not his!
Anyway, she didn't have her ring yet, because the one she'd picked out had to be special ordered. My H commented to me afterwards how weird he thought that was, that you wouldn't trust the person you were going to marry to know you well enough to pick out an engagement ring you would like. Unfortunately, I didn't hold my tongue and reminded him he never even GAVE me an engagement ring!
(Okay, we were poor students, and I never wanted a diamond anyway - they get in my way - but it definitely was a reflection of his conflicted feelings at the time.)
