How to bring back Lavaliering

I went to a school where lavaliering was unheard of and probably was seen as corny to those who had heard of it. I had my own and my sisters thought it was weird (take the girl out of the South...?).

That said, I'm not sure how cool I am with lavaliering. It's a college girl's version of a promise ring (remember the girls in HS who got promise rings?) and I've heard about people seriously act up over them. You can "talk about engagement" all you want but a lavaliere isn't going to bring you any closer to actually being engaged or getting married.

Yeah it's weird because my school isn't southern at all.

The seriousness with lavaliering makes me LOL because for every person I know who married the guy who lavaliered them (my big and twin sis are actually both married to guys who lavaliered them), there are like 5 people who ended up breaking up within months of getting lavaliered.

It's almost as if Murphy's Law of Lavaliering states that if 10 couples get lavaliered, only 2 of them are actually going to be together after college.

My fave was a girl in my major who was all "zomg Bobby HAS to lavaliere me!!! We've been dating 2 years!" Two months after they got lavaliered, Bobby broke up with her. The next year, he lavaliered a totally different girl in a different chapter after 6 months. lol.

You also can't really take my opinion on this seriously because after like 2 years of dating, I'd really rather have a bracelet than your fraternity letters.
