Promise rings? Pre-Engagement rings? Pinning? Oh My!?
What are a girl, and a guy for that matter, to do?
Promise rings can come down to a few different meanings, pre-engagement, purity and, friendship. However, possibly the most well known meaning is the first one listed above.
Pre-engagement is what it sounds like, a promise of engagement for a couple. They may purchase one of these because the may have decided that in the future they want to get married but for some reasons or another, they can’t at the time.
Pinning is mainly a college ritual and more specifically within fraternities and sororities and it is similar to promise rings. When two member of a Greek organization decided that they may someday in the future want to get married, or stay together after college, the man will give his girlfriend his fraternity pin.
Basically, with all of these choices I believe that it comes down to the couple and what they want. Some, think anything before engagement is a little odd, or “dumb” as some of my friends have said. Others believe that it is a very sweet thing and when they get to that point will have no problem with the rings or pins.
