That’s what Ariel Desiree McRae declared on her FB post that’s doing the rounds online defending the ring her fiancé got her when a store employee belittled his choice as cheap! While the ring only costs Rs. 8000, her passionate FB Post proved Love is intact priceless!

Her post hit home! It’s particularly easy to get caught up in the bigger-is-better in Big Fat Indian weddings. Ariel’s Post is as a reminder that a happy marriage isn’t about how much you spend on the rock, it’s about the promise to stay together even when things get rocky!

And honestly, big diamond solitaire engagement rings are actually quite inconvenient in reality

• You can’t wear it on a holiday
• Can’t wear it at work (after a while people stare, not in a good way)
• One can’t wear it when doing household chores
• You can’t wear it around the city for fear of Chors!
• You’ll never wear it during sexy time 😉
• Won’t wear it taking when care of the little ones (down the line, but definitely in your future girls – thanks to the sexy time)
