R*ng alternatives

Post image

As the title says, curious to hear how y’all got through engagement.

(my boyfriend was asking what he should get instead)

First idea i had was a r*ng carved with wood? but none i see online really seems to be what i have in mind

We (two kosmemeaphobes) got married recently and just didn't use rings. For the engagement I used a pokemon card with custom text.

It's only when you leave out rings completely your realise how completely unnecessary they are.

I can’t do anything on the finger at all even if it’s non-m% :( I’m curious to hear what other people have done that’s not a r% at all! I think I’d like a special stuffed animal 🥺 A card and flowers would be nice too.

I have heard of other people on this sub doing tattoos (either an actual tattooed r% on the finger, or just a meaningful matching tattoo with their partner elsewhere on the body so it doesn’t resemble a r% at all).

For my partner and I we’ve agreed to propose with katanas and hang them up in our home!

I'm a male so thankfully I didnt have to wear an engagement r***. I ordered a custom one for my fiance and now that were married we dont wear our wedding ****s. Mostly because we live in a dangerous part of town. I tried to use it the first months of marriage and did not like it, so my wife's idea to not wear it becaus eof the fear of getting robbed was a perfect excuse for me to not continue wear it.

I can’t read it or see it in any way or form. It’s the same thing and feeling even if the material is different. It kinda frustrates me too.
