Engagement Rings: Size Does Matter - But Not Always the Way You'd Think

I was just checking out UsMagazine.com's "Stars' Blingy Engagement Rings," and I must say two things:

1) Thank goodness nobody stole my idea for an engagement ring.

2) What is wrong with these guys' visual perception based on spacial relations? Can you not see that a little hand looks really stupid with a poly-carat, chunky, cocktail-like monstrosity on it? How ridiculous-looking! It's not a contest to "one-up everybody else's love" by buying a bigger ring to throw off-balance your gal's petite finger. I'm not complaining because these guys have more discretionary spending money than I'll ever have. I just think what would be a classy ring on a much larger female hand looks like a freakin' shopping mall on a little hand. There's such a thing as tact. There's such a thing as taste...and there's over-doing something grossly, just to spend more money. Why not put away some of that in a trust for your future children's college fund? Or were you hoping to skate on Harvard's coattails because they'll pay for a celebrity's kid to attend their ivy league?
Very, very tasteless.

The Ring Pop-Style Wedding Ring

I can hardly get over what I just read about on YAHOO! News. How incredibly LAME of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. What makes an engagement or wedding ring special is that you have only ONE of each. Your wedding day is special...because you have ONE. What makes anniversaries special is how many of them you rack up with one person. Really...and there's a very finite amount of diamonds in the Earth's crust and on the surface. If they weren't so very in love with THEMSELVES, they would consider saving some diamonds for the rest of the people on Earth who would like to sweep their girlfriend off her feet with a bold statement of love. Next time they renew their vows they should take a cue from all of these lame-brained liberals who believe the future of energy is wind turbines and simply blow each other a kiss.
