LOLOLOLOL,

There was a commercial that used to tout the 'measure of love' for your woman.

Was it DeBeers, the diamond company?

A man should spend 6 months of his salary for an engagement ring.

----------------

I was given this nugget of wisdom years ago-

What are you going to do with a diamond when you need a meal? Water and Power payment? Rent?

Side track? The people who are telling you to buy gold in this business climate.

At least you can cut small pieces and eat that, It will sate your hunger and you can recycle them!

-----------------

The commercials I love are the ones with the little snippets of the proposals on the ski slopes or in some far off locale.

Should the marriage fail? You'll never go skiing or to see the Eiffel Tower again, without thinking of the godless heathen your were with then.

I had a coworker who was married on Halloween. It was a costume wedding - a nice thought, she later lost her husband to cancer, so I wonder how that affected her life afterwards!

There is way too much emphasis on buying a stone for someone you love, and way to much emphasis on what women expect to get.
