Women, Ring & Logic

Mr Jones · 28 Sep 2015 at 16:43

So I proposed over the weekend, she said yes. YAY!

Turns out the ring is 2 size too large. (Measuring finger in the middle of the night is tricky)

I've managed to make arrangement for the jewellers to replace it with a ring of the right size, rather than resize as they've got one in stock. All done within 2 days without any cost on my part, as opposed to paying £10-£50 to get it resized - with the risk of compromising the integrity of the ring.

What does the missus-to-be say? No, it's not the same ring I proposed with and flat out refused that option I've arranged.

WUT?! :confused:

She's only going to get nuttier now you've locked yourself in

Also Congrats!

I proposed without a ring as I knew Mrs Cheesyboy would have a similar outlook. We then chose it together.

Didn't do your homework. Do you even know this woman

I thought this was going to be a thread about intercourse.

Just tell her its been resized

Sentimental bridezilla you have there.

Give her a folded up kitkat wrapper and have done.

Read between the lines - she doesn't like the ring, sees it as an excuse to get another one (probably double the cost).

Get out of there now before the next time you buy a house the same thing happens:
"No Steven, we can't just paint the walls! It's not the same house! We'll need to buy a new one... The new one should have twice as many bedrooms."

She is planning to eat lots of Cheeseburgers to make it fit.

This. All women get larger after marriage. She wants the growing room

leaskovski · 28 Sep 2015 at 16:49

She doesn't want a smaller ring, as now you are gonna get married she wants the leeway to be able to pack a few pounds.

Edit: Damn, beaten to it.

I chuckle but we both work for haribo, so I suspect it'll be "eat lots of Haribo rings" to help...

I did think of that but a physical ring is better than say a Haribo, and she loved it immediately. Obviously loved it too much to have the same shaped ring replaced.

Should have stuck with Haribo, at least I can eat them and replace them easily.

£10-50 to get it resized surely isn't the end of the world?

Should have stolen one of her other rings to get a better measurement

Cosimo · 28 Sep 2015 at 16:51

Congratulations.

Tell her that she'll grow into it in within a year.

Glaucus · 28 Sep 2015 at 16:51

Hardly surprising, it's got sentimental value as it's the one you proposed with, just get it resized.

Spacedeck · 28 Sep 2015 at 16:52

If she wants it resized tell her to pay up?

She don't wear ANY ring. This is probably her first.

The money isn't the issue, it's the risk of damaging the ring during the size reduction, which I assume means cutting and joining. It's only white gold, so not a specialist jobby, thus a typical quote is around that ball park.
