The other day, I heard something very interesting and its played on my mind eversince. Wedding bands are supposed to be smooth with no breaks or gems in it cos it could (possibly) mean a rocky marriage. A wedding band is supposed to be smooth and never ending hence an unbroken circle. Now I understand why one of my friends chose a much nicer engagement ring and just had a normal gold band for his wedding ring :)
On another note though, this means the above ring would be more interesting to the ladies. Even if you werent into material gems or bling, you have to admit its a sight more attractive than a gold band. As girls we grew up hearing stories about lavish proposals and the much coveted "ring". As women, we wait for the day to receive ours. Despite what men think, its not about competition or cos all ur friends have it...its THE piece of jewellery that most women look forward to all their life (correct me if i'm wrong. I did say most)
Funny enough though, when that day comes, if you care about more than the "ring", you start thinking about what it means...a commitment to each other, towards spending the rest of your life with each other, putting up with each other for the rest of your lives (LOL!!) and starting a family together...not to mention living with in-laws!! He will sometimes smell ur farts (it is a big deal to some!), see ur hairy legs, see u with ur facial mask on, experience ur mood swings n bad hair days, etc...but most of all, you're in each others lives. There is no more running away from it.
Divorce is expensive (trust me I've done enough) and unfair on those around you. I knew someone who broke off her engagement (and they were a very close knit couple) cos when it came down to it, she just couldnt see herself spending the rest of her life with the guy. When it comes to crunch time, even when you've wanted it all your life, can you bring yourself to say "Yes"?

That's why we ladies need to think over and over before you make the decision!
