I will say that while she's indicated it can be very meaningful and she definately felt hers was (they've dated quite a while and its a healthy relationship), she thinks SOMETIMES girls can get so caught up in wanting to have that "ceremony" not to mention all the bells and whistles that go with it - it becomes more important than the relationship...if that makes sense. I guess a more minor form of wanting the wedding more than you want the groom.

I wouldn't say that was common -its an expensive endeavor for the guy particularly, so they don't tend to go there unless they're serious, but it happens.

Yup all true. My boyfriend hadn't heard of lavaliers. Pinning is our big thing. It is not necessarily common, but my chapter had one or two each year I was active.
