I have a promise ring. :)
Normally promise rings have a pair of something (a pair of hearts or a pair of diamonds) that are entwined together or side-by-side which signifies those two people coming together.
Promise rings don't always signify engagement. Some couples use them to say they're 'saving' themselves for each other. Or in other words not going to have sex with anyone else until they're married/ready to have it together. But it's more common to say that it means 'I may not be ready yet/old enough yet but when we can get married I'm promising to marry you'
So then you have a promise ring, plus engagement, plus wedding ring.
I wear my promise ring every day. :) When he got it for me I didn't want to open the box because I was practically ready to puke from the excitement and happiness I felt. Mine kind of looks like a little knot with two diamonds in the center ^^
Thank you for that =] sounds adorable.
Too late for "saving" though. Unless we meant save till tomorrow night. Oh well. I can't believe I never heard of such thing before.
