BC, there is legal precedence about the ring...I read recently that the person doing the breaking up is not entitled to the ring, whether a Christmas gift or not. If she breaks up, he gets the ring, if he breaks up, she gets the ring...I say, that must be one hell of a ring!!!

Piss on the Ring,,,why do they always try to keep your name after the divorce even if there weren't any kids?

Wow, never heard that one. Its usually who ever bought the ring, gets the rings, reguardless of who is breaking it off. It must be a Texas thing.

So they can screw up your credit rating forever!

Guys, and in some case, girls... I heard on the radio yesterday on the way to work and thought I'd just put a little input for those who are thinking about popping the question in this lovely holiday season, (and any...) especially with Christmas.

Don't propose during Christmas season because lets say you proposed, and your guy/woman turned you down... from then on, every christmas will be a depressed one because you'll always remember that at this time of the year.
Another reason would be because of financial and legal problems (yes, it can be just from the ring) because lets say, you proposed, and they accepted. Down the years, if for some reason things weren't working out and both got a divorce. Who gets the ring? If you give a ring during Christmas season, that'll be more of a reason for the accepter to say I got it because it was a gift, you gave it to me, verses when you propose during just an ordinary day, that will give the giver more of the reason to get it back if things didnt work out down the road.
Also, if you're going to propose, another reason to do it on an ordinary day would because that means you are wanting to ... (gotta think, don't remember how this part went...) show them that you want the commitment, you are doing this just because you love them.

If I havent lost you yet, back to the Christmas season. If you gave them a ring during Christmas Season, that's more of saying that I did this for you, I am giving this to you kinda thing. It's more like I'm doing this for you rather than it showing that you (the giver of the ring) are wanting the commitment as well.

Just thought I'd share cuz I never thought of that before and thought that's true. So, have a merry christmas! Hope this helps.

lol, lilshelby you're funny. Only, It'd have to be a secret that no one else knows that we're 'married'???? I'll keep you as a side dish.
