The Proliferation of Huge Engagement Rings
Has anyone noticed that everyone is getting big engagement rings lately? My favorite babysitter just stopped by to show me the 1 carat, platinum set engagement ring her boyfriend surprised her with last weekend. I know 1 carat isn't a rock per se, but both the future bride and future groom are only 19!
I ran into the 21 year old who gave my girls swimming lessons and she proudly showed me the 1.75 emerald cut from Tiffany she got for Christmas. What's up with that???? It's the same size and "brand" as mine, but I was 24 and I had a boyfriend who:
a. spent all his time out to sea so had saved up beaucoup bucks and
b. was a nuclear engineer in the Navy which meant $10,000 "nuke bonuses" every couple of years.
Oh, Pooh! Excuse my rude rant. I have an inner ear infection so I'm grumpy. Big diamonds for everybody! Yea!
Signing off now to take more Dramamine and go back to bed..zzzzzz
But I'd STILL love to know how these boys afford them! lol
