AM a fitter so i decided to get my “last” engagement ring tattoed on because i don’t wear jewellery while using/working on machinery….now it’s just another tattoo…

Ended up he was the one to spend ALL my cash when i was away and he was just a tight loser so not all gals are after money and the expensive bling…if the right thoughts were there and he wasn’t simply being a tighty, “yes” would be the answer to a ring like that!

I don’t recall to well, but are the marriage vows “… for richer or poorer…” or “… so long as your wallet is fat and stocks high…”

The whole process took a little over 100 hours of work (including failures) but the quality is high.

It shows that you don’t have to buy a woman with a ring. The ring I gave my fiancee was actually re-made from an old ring her grandmother had given her. I had the chance to work with the jeweler and get a custom design, while not as far off the norm that everyone expects.

Custom work takes time, even if it’s just the design. It shows you care. Who cares what material it’s made of? My fiancee wants me to buy her a cheap ring she can wear when we go rock climbing/camping/whatever. If it were PVC, she could ruin it and I’d just make her another, bigger, more intricate design.

Congrats to the couple and may you have many years of happiness together.

Oh, and XKCD rules!!! Guess you have to be smart enough to enjoy it :-).

Seriously if a guy or girl just goes to a jeweler that’s just money, putting you heart into something you build yourself that’s commitment.

An adjustable hose clamp, instead of a ring. But made of gold/gold plated. And then for the little fastener that adjusts the size of the clamp, normally a hex bolt+phillips slot head, it would be a wing-nut-ish pin head, made of diamond.

-because I think Bob just got served.

The ring is a unique and creative effort borne of love, dude.
Don’t dis ‘em for finding their thing. So few do.

Congrats to the happy couple!
I hope your marriage is filled with wonderful things for you both! :D
