“Ideally I would have loved for us to have chosen a ring together and made a special day finding one we both liked,” she explained. “There’s nothing to dislike about the type of ring per se, as a diamond solitaire would have been my choice, but it’s the whole thing – the colour of the gold, the setting, the small stone and relatively chunky shoulders.”
Users were quick to have their say, with responses ranging from sympathetic to incredibly blunt. “Blimey. I’d have been delighted, talk about being ungrateful, the person at work is 100% right.”
Multiple users stuck up for the woman, with one saying she’d been ‘short changed’ and another arguing that the bride-to-be’s happiness should be a huge consideration. “There’s no way on earth I’d allow someone else to choose a piece of jewellery for me that I’d potentially be wearing for decades. I wouldn’t even let my partner choose this year’s winter coat.”
What would you do in this situation, ladies?
