When it comes to proposals, it takes a lot of time and effort to do them right. When a guy or girl decides they want to spend the rest of their life with someone, it’s a pretty special moment. Take it from me, someone who will probably wait the rest of their life to get married *sigh*. Besides planning an elaborate day or night to surprise the one you love, there’s also picking out the ring. Now, there are those who claim that if the ring is small, the love is small – but, to that, I say bullsh*t.
I don’t think that the size of an engagement ring correlates to the amount of love that is in a relationship – but that’s just my personal opinion. Others, of course, will disagree saying that if your partner truly loves you – they will do whatever it takes to get you something “nice.” But, everyone has a different version of “nice,” don’t they?
One Twitter user has been getting dragged on social media after she posted a photo of a smaller diamond and said: “Imagine finally being proposed to & this is the ring you’re given.”

Twitter responded in the best way possible – showing her that size doesn’t always matter (in rings people, in rings).
If the size of the ring is more important to you than the man who is giving it to you, do him a favour and say no. He deserves better.

I got no ring when my husband proposed. We had no money. We worked TOGETHER and he was able to get me my dream ring 2 years after wedding.😊

Someone wants to spend their life with you and musters the confidence to ask you for that and you gonna be petty and be upset about a ring?

Not trying to be rude but why are you caring about how big the diamond is? If you love him you really wouldn't care about how much he +

Imagine mustering up the courage to ask your dream girl to marry you and she bashed the ring you got her on Twitter.

My girlfriend picked out the engagement ring she wants. It's smaller than that. The size of the ring doesn't matter

It just goes to show you folks – not all love revolves around money. If it were me, I would be happy with a f*cking ring pop because if my boyfriend mustered up the courage to propose to me, I’d probably drop dead from the shock first and foremost. But, when someone loves you, it should be more about your relationship and love than it is about the material items. And, for all those girls in this Twitter thread that say a small ring means you’re marrying someone who is financially unstable – that’s also a load of crap.
I’d rather put the money that he would spend on a huge diamond on our first house or having a child because that’s something that matters more than a piece of jewelry. That’s just my opinion though.
