    Engraved wedding rings...

    My gf told me that it was customary in the Phils to have the wedding rings engraved with the name of the spouse: the husband's ring engraved with the name of the wife and vice versa. Is that so?

    Yes I know, she has something in mind....

    Are you looking for a wife because she is certainly looking for a husband,want a word of advice none of the ladies here will give you?............RUNNNNNNNN



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    thats true....
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    The story has taken a strange turn and picked up speed like a runaway car,apply the brakes slightly,slow down because theres a cliff just around the bend

    Talking

    engraved wedding rings it never even got mentioned by my dear wife she was not worried about the price or what it looked like it was the meaning that was importent,even if it cost 100 peso


    i think my advice would be go there and meet your dear lady friend first before i was even thinking about engraved wedding rings maybe she is planting seeds in your mind

    always the couple's choice to have it engraved with their names or not... for my brother's wedding ring, it has the date instead... for mine... probably, not our names... our term of endearment would be a good alternative...
