Credit Crunch is really here M&S sell wedding rings at £18 ($26) ( Archived) (8)

The credit crunch has really hit A famous department store here in the UK called M&S is selling a two set wedding ring at £18 ($26)

Here is my questions would you be insulted ladies if a guy bought these for you?

In this day and age do we really need to wear a wedding band to show committment?

Does it show that a man thinks he owns us?

IMO I doubt I ever want to wear an engagement or wedding ring ever again....marriage IMO is an out dated practise.

Ladies and Gents what do you think?

I think marriage is just traditional inspired by the many varying forms of religion. Some girls love the wedding scene, and if I was with a girl that I loved and she wanted to get married then I would do that for her and alternatively if she was not into weddings then that is fine too. Marriage is just a public display of committment to one another. Love is from the heart . A ring does not change feelings. What is important is that both people respect the view of their partner and do whatever it takes to make them happy.If both people go out of their way to please one another then it will work. It must be balanced and give and take must be done on both sides. One dominating force will eventually ruin a relationship. It is all about balance. I think marriage is getting less common. People seem to be marrying later in life as oppposed to decades ago. As long as there is love then its all good. JMO.

Would you guys wear a ring?

what kind of ring Tamarin

One threw your nose big enough to pull a rope threw

Tam, I agree with you on this. I don't intend to ever wear an engagement or wedding ring again, though I won't say "never". Commitment to each other is in the heart, not a ring on one's finger or a piece of paper, and you have it or you don't.

Oh, and on the first part, if I were going to get married again and wear a ring, no I wouldn't object if he bought me one of these sets if it was what I preferred. I'm a simple person, and I don't need gaudy doodads, nor overly expensive ones. My last wedding band was a silver ring that I already owned, and we just bought him a matching one because we loved the design and it had special meaning to us. He never bought me an engagement ring. I didn't need a diamond by then...I knew what was important.

Dru your answer is very refreshing...

When I was in the US some of the women's wedding rings were big enough to take your eye with.
