On engagements

well, this is a tradation being followed in many of the countries in the world, giving a ring or put a ring in the gal's fuingures or put a chain on man's neck , these shows just the love and certain type of committment ., that's all. now a days modern world, man and gals are taking kisses even before the engagement/marriage . the customs will never change. the traditions are gold in nature and it should be followed so as to enjoy the moments . it will be a thrilling moment to see a gal near u on the day of engagement. is it not?

I don't believe that the guy needs to do this. Although this has already become a tradition, there maybe some people who would look at such situations more practically. Like, the couple may earn up the money to buy for the said rings or lot. It is more practical and helpful for both parties if they save up together for such mutual future necessities. Don't you think so too?

I think it should be up to the couple. Traditions are fine for traditional people. The engagement ring is a token and a way to let other people know that you're unavailable. I don't like traditional wedding, personally I would rather spend the money on the honeymoon or a new house. As far as a ring, I like that part, but it doesn't have to be a rock, it could be somethimg I thought was pretty enough to wear everyday. I don't mind wearing something that tells everyone I am unavailable. I used to do that before I was married anyway.

Well, I wouldnt mind for practicality but its also very romantic when u do it the traditional way. A romantic proposal, a ring, ur guy on bended knees that sort of thing.
