Why would a chick require an engagement ring to honor the beginning of a life long promise?

@pralims

I personally don't see the point in even being engaged. Seems like a space in time used to prepare for the wedding, something I don't want. Also seems like a time that some folks use to make sure they really want to go through with getting married.

When I say yes, I mean it, and I would rather be proposed to and spontaneously go to city hall once we finally know we are ready. Real straight forward, no doubts or complications.

Perhaps it's just me but once we know for sure, things shouldn't change just because we become engaged and so the years put into a relationship leading up to the marriage is "engagement" enough.

Yes, it's called the 90's and the decades before that.

Random love fact of the day:

Love is surging elements like monoamines, dopamine, norepinephrine & serotonin.

Love elements controlled by Phenethylamine are found in foods like chocolate and peas.

Hope everyone has a great day filled with love, cocoa beans and peas

This woman is a lovely lady by nature...

Been at a funeral today so emotions running high...

This is just another way to
exploit Black/Latino people and put the hood and struggle on display as a means to profit, unfortunately this has been going on since time especially in impoverished "3rd world" nations.

We see it on TV constantly, we see it on campaign signs to help feed hungry children, the sickly looking child from Africa which paints the picture that all there is to the continent is poverty, disease and malnutrition. These efforts are misleading and create a misconception of the land and people that are being used as examples.

The complaints were well warranted, good thing that the people were heard.
