Young uns getting engaged!

[poodicat]

Jeremy kyle stylee,a girl i work with has just got engaged at her house warming party,she is 17,can i ask where do they buy the engagement ring,argos perhaps?

[B00]

Whilst I don't condone anyone getting engaged at 17, far too young, i'm surprised at your snobby attitude re the ring? So what if it's from Argos, nothing wrong with some of their things.

[poodicat]

Ok i am snobby then

[B00]

Yes, obviously :-)

[poodicat]

yep

[tinkerbell23]

[Sqad]

poodi....I am a snob too.....and pompous......but I have done all right.

[poodicat]

sorry tinkerbell,this young lady has moved into a flat

[rachael88]

most 17 yr olds do work and earn money lol,
age 17 isnt a bad age to get engaged depends on how long they been together for
i knew someone who got married at the age 18 and only lasted a month
i been with my lad for 5 n half yrs now and were not engaged yet
theres nothing wrong with the rings in argos i think they are nice

[poodicat]

What i am trying to say,wouldnt you want a decent engagement ring?

[poodicat]

Rachael you must be lucky around your way,loads of seventeen years old are either jobless,at college or still at school

[craft1948]

Friends of mine met at 15, engaged at 17, and married at 19.......still married after 40 years.

[poodicat]

Thats a rarity craft these days!

[rachael88]

some of them are decent lol
i know what ya mean tho
you mean from a jewelery shop

i would be happy with a ring what cos 50quid
if it cost hundreds i would be scared to wear it incase i lose it

[Sqad]

Craft....fine......but the statistics indicate otherwise.

[poodicat]

Some cost thousands rachael these days,and me i would wear it with pride!

[rachael88]

[tinkerbell23]

[craft1948]

Probably poodi though my sister has been married for 43 years and my brother for 30.
I must admit I was happy all of my engagement rings were very nice..........I got a decent price for the 2 I sold.

[Mick-Talbot]

Yes it is a rarity these days for 17 year olds to have been married 40 years.

In what way are we equating monetary value of symbolic jewellery with love?
