I didn't go to the ring ceremony and I didn't get a ring... Just seemed like a waste of money.

QUOTE (kcroxyoursox @ Sep 26 2006, 10:48 AM) what about the ring ceremony? did anyone go to that? i did. it was funny. one guy got an empty box. one guy got a box with a ring that had someone else name in it. i got mine and it was ugly. so i had them remake it. and then there was the *ping ping* of people dropping their rings on the floor. --------------------   |

ya, my ring isn't 24
some white gold has nickel. depends on how it's made. some use another metal instead of nickel, i forgot what it is though. sterling silver doesn't irrate me, nor does yellow gold -------------------- |
