Did you get a ring when he proposed?

I did not get a ring when my husband proposed. When Valentine's Day came, which was not too long after he asked me, he gave me a beautiful concho belt with silver and turqouise conchos. So, that was my "ring". I wore it in our engagement photo. Our wedding bands were custom made for use. I actually got a dimaond ring when I was pregant with my daughter (2nd child).

i didnt get a ring when my husband proposed. i got a heart shaped rose quartz. the ring i did wear afterwards because he wanted the symbol to show our connections to each other, was a sterling silver band with a small onynx in the center that he bought off a beach vender for 6 bucks. materialistic shows of affection are not necessary, for me anyways. and i wore that tiny ring until it broke years later. hes replaced it now with a cubic set in white gold so itd be stronger and weather the years better. if hedve bought me a diamond, idve slapped him around and made him bring it back.

I didn't get a ring either and thats because I chose the ring that I wanted after he proposed. I was just thrilled to be dating a commitment phobic free man. And its been almost 9 years of marriage, and it sure isn't the same now as it was when we were dating! Anyway why can't be propose to you before the ring? The ring does not have to make it official. However we did have a long engagement, sometime into my engagement I did get the ring and I definitely had a ring after marriage but I am sure it does happen that couples get married without rings. Usually I would think for financial reasons.

I did get a ring, but I absolutely hated it. It wasn't an "engagement ring", and just the whole thing was not thought-out and quite depressing. He got me a "real" ring last summer, though.

I did get an engagement ring. My husband actually took me ring shopping before he proposed so it wasn't much of a surprise! But I don't think whether you get a ring really matters. It's just a symbol. What really matters is the committment you two decided to make to each other.

I wouldnt worry about it!!..i didnt have a ring ..in fact i got an engagement ring on our silver wedding anniversary!!...but it diddnt matter one little bit....i had my wedding ring..that was all that i needed!!

Count me in hehehe....hmmmm does engagement ring really matters hehe if it is then i should start buzzing my fiance about it. Anyways now seriously my guy which is my fiance now proposed at me just last month and that time it doesn't really come into my senses that there should be a ring as i was very overwhelmed that time and said yes. What most important to me is the love that we both feel hehehe but come to think of it, it will be more romantic if he did give me a ring. Oh well it doesn't stop there yet, it has still a lot of suprises so maybe i'll just wait for the one that is most important the wedding ring.

I have been married 18 years on the 6th of April. When my husband proposed, we didn't have the money for an engagement ring. I was pregnant with my now 17 yr old and had gotten out of a very nasty and scary divorce 3 yrs before. My little girl was born after a painful 40 hour extremely difficult labor of which her daddy was with me the entire time, holding my hand, walking the halls and just generally letting me know how much he loved me for having his child. This showed me not to be afraid of trusting him and that is when I decided if he still wanted to get married, I would. If I had waited for a diamond ring, I don't think we would have married. I am glad I didn't. I still don't have a diamond ring, but I did hit the jackpot, I have a wonderful loving husband, and we have 2 beautiful little diamonds in the rough who are now 17 and 16. I would rather have that.

yes we got engaged officially and in our tradition we have to exchange rings. He gave me a traditional ring of his mom's choice which i din quite like , but i had to accept it since i had no other option. I too gave him a gold ring which he never wears coz he is not used to wearing rings. I find it quite disgusting coz thats my gift & he refuses to wear it. *sigh*

My husband proposed to me without a proper ring. It was more like a friendship ring that he bought off of the shop at home network! LOL But it wasn't his choice. He wanted to propose to me with a proper ring so about 6 months later he got me an engagement ring. I actually used this as my wedding ring as well, but shortly after we got married he bought me a proper wedding ring as well. I have worn both ever since.

My partner and I just sort of decided that we were going to get married. He never really proposed or anything. He's been talking about getting me a ring for years, but we've never had enough money or gotten around to it. It doesn't really feel official or anything though. I think it will if he gets me a ring one day. Until then it feels odd saying that he's my fiancé so I just call him my partner or my boyfriend.

I have been married twice. The first time I went with him and picked out the ring. There really wasn't much of a proposal. The second time; my (now) husband took me out to the beach at night. On a pier he asked me to marry him. He picked out the ring and surprised me with it. We have been married 3 years this past February.

When I got engaged we could not afford a ring, so we used my Grandmas engagement ring! I was married in 2001 and still did not have an engagement ring. My hubby finally bought me my engagement ring about a year ago, he could not get my ring size as I always had my rings on and he did not want to tell me what he was doing and so he just had to guess my size. It was a beautiful ring but is a little too big so I just had to get a piece taken out of it to make it fit properly.

Me too, he asked me not just once and we always talk about it but i dont know when is his plan to get me a ring.. if he does I think it wont be a surprise, I think I will be the one to pick my ring..LOL

if you love the person that much does the ring really matters? it sometimes gets i the way and becomes an issue. it is not a sign of ones love waht matters most is how you love that person the ring cn wait just have that committment and do it.

We were engaged for about a week before I got my ring - he wanted me to pick out the ring I wanted to wear for the rest of my life.

Yes, I did get a ring when my hubby proposed to me. But I can understand those lovers who don’t get rings when their love one proposes as it is not necessary to follow the traditional way or old manner. As long as the couples are happy together and love each other will do.

I am! I haven't gotten any ring at all. Even if I would love to have one, I didn't ask for my hubby back then for a ring. I want him to give it to me w/o feeling obligated. Oh well, I guess some guys thinks that having an engagement ring is not really a must but optional.

Well, there wasn't really a proposal in the first place. We just decided that if we were living together we might as well get married. I didn't get a ring until 7 months after we got married, but I don't wear jewelry anyway. My husband doesn't want a wedding band so he doesn't have one at all. Once we become debt free, though, we will get a new ring for me and a band for him.

Back in 1970 i didn't want a ring, i wanted a sewing machine cause i needed that more. Later he did get me a ring and someone stoled it but i still have the sewing machine lol.
