It's so hilarious when u see a photo, post-proposal, and the guy's got the "I don't know what I'm getting myself into" look while the girl's flashing her ring with a great big smile. Absolutely hilarious. People need to have a reality check on their lives before tying themselves down to that one person.
I for one, am overly skeptical on getting married. So what if he can afford to put a ring on my finger? Can we sustain independently without living under either of our parents' roofs?
To me, its always important to have financial stability. Being a true-blue singaporean, i worry about how much $$ i have in my bank before i decide to get married. I know it's not ALWAYS about money, but I'm being practical here.
And then comes love. Haha. Money before love, My idea of marriage is so warped, i know. Are you ready to see that face, every day for the rest of your life? And if you're in a crap relationship with an emotionally unstable person, are you ready to handle all his/her (usually its her) crap for the rest of ur life?
Just think about it. I know it's selfish, but if you can't handle it, let the person go. 'cos there will be someone out there, for this emotionally unstable person.
In other words, dont just get married because you've been with someone for almost forever and it's just the next most logical step to get married.

Whatever it is, i know i'm blessed. Blessed with happiness, security and most importantly, Love.
But STILL, the wedding ring can wait.
