I agree with Cinrell...
If the ring purely for an engagement, then she gives the ring back if things don't work out.
BUT, if the ring is given as a gift (Xmas, Bday, Valentine's, etc) then she should get to keep it.
Personally, I wouldn't want a ring as a GIFT, I would want it as an engagement (its own special occassion) and not on a holiday. I wouldn't want the guy to feel like, "well, it's your bday so I had to get you something...here you go-wanna get married?"
But even better is getting a Mickey ring and a proposal in front of the castle...THEN get the real ring a week later. Double the pleasure and double the fun!!!
One night I'm going to make a post of my fantasy wedding, which I've told Sha just a little here and there. Its not something I would do at this point, but it keeps my creative juices flowing...who knows, maybe my baby niece will do it.
I'm starting to notice a trend of the guys getting the engagement ring back, wonder where I went wrong in that process?![]()
Never say never.
You never know.. and if it happens I want to be on the guest list!

Yeah, I can't believe a woman would keep the ring in a broken engagement, I don't get that. If you are already married or if it was a gift than I agree that is different unless it is some kind of family heirloom or something.
I didn't because I was angry.. but finding out that 3 months after he proposed he was sleeping with his coworker, looking back I wish I'd kept it and pawned it to pay off the bills i racked up fixing up HIS house.
Yeah well, I should have specifically told mine not to cheat on any sort of holiday...or ever. Catching your wife cheating on Christmas Eve kinda puts a damper on the holiday festivities....JUUUUUST a tad.

Speaking of weddings and all. I have a message from a former poster of the original thread. Michelle (BigSis) has gotten married, 6 weeks ago. She wanted to pass on Congrats to Cait and Bob for their upcoming wedding!![]()
Be sure to tell Michelle I said thanks and send our Congrats to her.
Well mother nature gave me a niceish day today, so I should be heading to my grandmothers to pack....I really really don't want too.....would rather make some popcorn and watch a movie. I really need to get motivated....LOL..I know I know the packing queen is so unmotivated...lol
I will do that!
Okay folks... we need happy thoughts here.

I know what a downer...lol...went from happy wedding thoughts to broken engagements and appropriate ring ownership.
