so if you have been following this epidrama... well the wedding is back on.
this chick (AKA my auntie) goes out in search of cheap deals for wedding rings.
her friend takes her to some outlet mall in NJ and spent $1500 on the engagement ring and the 2 wedding bands. the engagement ring looked average - nothing spectacular. now i dont know what engagement rings should cost (maybe i should check that thread in the D&R forum?) but rule if rule #1 is WEDDINGS SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISE PARTIES, then rule #2 is gonna have to be WEDDING RINGS SHOULD NOT BE BOUGHT IN PACKAGE DEALS. which leads me to rule 2a:
IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A LOAN FOR YOUR WEDDING RINGS... MAYBE YOU SHOULD WAIT IT OUT OR SOMETHING.
(if you recall, auntie was taking out a loan cause she's broke as a joke)
so she comes over the show off the ring - chick has it on her finger and everythang! and we're all like "its aight..." and she throws a FIT! whatever.
i ask, "so how was the proposal?" she says, "oh he's gonna do it tonight, i already planned it." WTF? she continues, "i got some cute lingerie (TMI) and ima have some Barry White in the background and he's going to propose at 8:30. then he'll put the ring on and then we'll take it from there."
me:
why do i even bother to make sense of this HAM?
we're all like "why dont you let him propose his own way on his own time? how you know he's gonna do it tonite?" and SHE SAYS:
"cause he knows that i need to show this thing off tomorrow at church, so he better ack right."
SMH...
