Rumors...
The rumor mills are churning about a wedding between myself and a certain well-known pop princess (of course, I'm talking about JoJo*).
Deep breaths...
Some of my commenters (hey, guys) made the point that I shouldn't give these rumor-mongers much credence. That's good advice. The more weight I give the rumors, the more they will snowball out of control. So I'll just ignore those assholes and move on. Thank you, everyone.

Here's a random question for the ladies: let's say you were really wealthy and had everything in the whole world you could possibly want. If a really cool guy proposed to you, would you want him to buy you a big fancy ring, even though it probably wouldn't impress you at all, or would a cheap, but meaningful, ring be the right choice? Say you once went to a miniature golf course together, and you won her a plastic ring playing skee-ball -- would that be okay? To steal that ring from the "Memory Vault" in her closet and give it to her? Remember, this girl is very rich and has lots of fancy jewelry already.
Answer honestly. Thanks.
*Not really, but watch Perez Hilton shove that into his lie-blog this week.

Let's say a future child is at an age where they are noticing the wedding rings. Without them having experienced the memory behind the cheap ring, you are going to look cheap in comparison to other dads which will in turn make them feel bad about themselves because they are aware that you could have afforded more for their mother. You have to think ahead. If she won't be impressed, do it for the kids. Make the proposal the meaningful (cheap) thing.
If you want a girl to be impressed with a bigger than average ring, marry an average girl. Its not right that you have to worry about not blowing her away with the ring you pick!

The answer is not whether she will be impressed, rather will her public/friends/fans/enemies be impressed.
Buy the biggest, rarest, most expensive ring you can afford! Call Harry Winston.
(3 million dollars sounds good)
If it's better than J. Lo's ring from Ben, and it's on the cover of everything - she'll be thrilled.
Marriage is a big step, divorce sucks! Make sure you know what you're doing because people change as they get older.
Prenup! Move in together first. It's the same thing.

i feel your not thinking of "expensive" and quality interchangeably. i'm surprised the self proclaimed consumer (and the owner of some ganster watches) would even entertain the thought of doing something as unconventional as a plastic ring. if it's something u really want to do, you can always do both! It;s a perfect compromise. You do it once for you with the decorder ring, and then once for her with the one you know she dreams about. I have a friend whose a jewlery buyer for SAKS in NY, she can walk the floor with you if you want. -m
2007 Snake Relationships
This is not a good year for marriage, for finding the love of your life, or even for taking an existing relationship to the next level. The Pig stirs up everything sensual about you, but if that leads to an impetuous decision, the results could be disastrous.

If Jessica really loves you, and you would give her the plastic ring, she should love it, she'll think its creative and meaningful at the same time. But if she doesn't like it, then its not worth it. It means that she just wants a BIG ring to show it off to the public, even though she might love you, she might be just one of those people that are shallow and like to be flashy, i guess you can put it.
But anywho, i don't think you should propose to her yet, date her for a couple of years, and then propose, you've seen how marriages end these days.

Thank you for all your responses. I just want to make it abundantly clear that the situation I presented at the end of the blog is purely hypothetical. It was really more for a buddy of mine, and not so much about me.
Good thing it was hypothetical because otherwise you would also have to worry about getting an even more special ring than her first one. :^) What about a custom Relix ring?
And, to add to the purely hypothetical situation, DO NOT propose with a thesaurus...unless you cut out the pages making it into a secret spy box with the ring inside...and then dog ear or sticky note the page in the thesaurus where "yes" is.
For the record, I need a new thesaurus.

John Tell your friend if he does not know what this girl would want he needs put off the proposal and pay her more attention.
Then he'll know what impresses her and if that is the way he wants her to be impressed. Women responsed to gifts and sentiment differently and I think either way is acceptable but if you don't know the way a partner perfers it will eventually make holidays and special ocassions more of a chore than pleasure for both of them.
If he truly wants this marriage to work tell him to take the time to know eachother

I think that if the girl loves the guy as much as he supposedly loves her, then she isn't going to care what it looks like. When picking out a ring take into consideration the style of rings she like and wants:shapes,colour, the metal. I also think that if the guy has invested this much thought into picking out the right ring she better like it, "it's the thought that counts",right? OK, so she has lots of big flashy jewelary,sometimes simple elagance is key, and much appreciated. If you have spent so much time and energy into preparing the proposal, picking out the ring etc. If she doesnt like it because its not flashy or big enough, maybe she's to materialistic? I'd want to think about if shes the right girl for me. Now being a girl I want to be proud of my ring but more than that I want it to be meaningful. I want my man to be proud of his choice too. Good Luck to your friend.
It depends on the woman. Some of us are very into wearing things of high quality-- name brand, expensive clothes, shoes etc. Others wear a no-name tshirt and jeans and beat up shoes and who cares? A woman who is particular about things she wears, things she buys, who wants the very best of things--then yes, it will really, really matter how big and expensive a ring it is.
Here's a clue--look in her closet, look at her accessories.. How important are those things to her? Does she like to purchase expensive gifts for others? Does she give the guy expensive, high quality, designer stuff? Does she put a lot of importance on gifts--do they mean a lot to her--both to receive and to give? If yes, then go for the biggest, best you can afford. If not, then don't worry so much.
Meaningful is different to different people. But the proposal must really be special and deeply personal no matter what. You remember the proposal forever.
