But it was the next thing that she said that really shocked me. Now let me remind you, she's just some random stranger checking out our groceries. She said, without taking her eyes off it, "should I even ask how much it cost." Umm... excuse me?!?!
I thought it was very rude and even more inappropriate. I dont even know how much my ring cost, I have an idea from the appraisal, but you dear stranger definitely should not. I just smiled and thanked god that she said it right as we were finished paying for our stuff. I grabbed our bag and headed to the door.
The whole situation got me thinking about what is/isnt appropriate when discussing engagement rings. I just feel like there are some questions you shouldnt ask, unless you are close to that person and one pissed off bride shared it best here. By the way, love that blog -- it definitely provides some great laughs.
Were you thrown off by someone's comment/action towards your engagement ring?
Oh my gosh - how rude! I probably wouldn't have been a very good Christian and commented something along the lines of "more money than any ring you'll get on your finger!" I had an old co-worker guess at the cost of my ring, based on the cost of her's. I told her she was near the amount and then proceeded to stare at my computer screen while she finally walked away. Quite frequently I got asked "How big is it?"
