Necklace or Ring?

[Chimera]

The Wedding ring is a concept that originates in Europe and in the last century has spread throughout the world because of Hollywood's ROMCOM's. My father gave my mother a big gold wedding ring as a result. I personally can see the appeal of a ring and the romantic aspect of it, but i think the gorgeous wedding necklaces that graced Somali brides for centuries are far more appealing, and i think choosing this as a symbol of your union is a beautiful throwback to your ancestors:

You must be a dude.

Prefer the necklace minus the bells and whistles; would wear on left ankle so he remembers where he belongs. Mwahaha.

.. anyways, we all knew Shahrazad was after all a misandrist, who revels in telling stories just to escape death. Buhhhaha

Thats a hidious looking necklace. I have seen better looking ones. I prefer the ring.

Lol, it's just an example, one can customise such things to fit their taste, similarly there are both hideous and beautiful rings. The Ring culture clearly is reigning supreme in the diaspora, which is a pity.

 

A combination would be nice.

LoL, no hate from me. 'Just' to escape death lol, it's no mean feat.

I know, that assshole Shahryar was no joke. Without the breathtaking beauty and the open ended stories she narrated every night that kept him interested and waiting for the rest, she would've gone and we would've missed all those sexy romantic tales that we enjoy now, so yeah am all for her!

Neither! I prefer the current tradition of giving sets of dahab and a bag full of diracs. Maxaa loo kala reebayaa? Bakhaylnimo much.

[sheherazade]

^LoL, really? When there's so much of it, doesn't it just become stuff, meaningless stuff?

[Blessed]

Tradtional dictates are nothing to get sentimental about methinks. Stuff is all it is, so waa caadi if we start calculating the dirham to gram value, maaha?

 

p.s how's the adventure?

[sheherazade]

I prefer the necklace more cause it's no longer an expectation, a requirement to stop aunties' tongues wagging. A gift should have some sentiment attached to it or else it's a bribe or a payment in kind for something.

 

the adventure took an unxpected turn but alhamdullilah.
