The girl and I are getting married finally, on Boxing Day in the NT.
Tonight we went and organised the rings.
I've never been into jewellery but I understand that, well, chicks dig it.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not a tight arse at all and will happily spend cash on bugger all if I have the disposable income.
It's just that jewellery never made any sense to me. I get that people fleeing a war torn country might take gold on their hands and around their necks in order to start a new life; that makes sense.
For any Black Books fans here, jewellery reminds me of Bernard Black's famous statement "Well, whores must have their trinkets".
That sounds horrible I know but in context, funny :cheesy:
Do I seem like some kind of Scrooge that only wants to twist the joy out of life, or is this a common sentiment in other blokes?
oh and FWIW the bride picked out a lovely white gold thingy and I picked a celtic engraved Tungsten ring that weighs quite a lot. Nice look and feel to it though.
