The Engagement Cufflinks

Emporio Armani  Sterling Silver Cufflinks – $175.00

You spend two month’s salary on her engagement ring and what do you get in return?  An ulcer caused by worrying that she either won’t like it, or… your plan to propose will tank.  That hardly seems fair.

My wife’s wedding band cost about half as much as her engagement ring.  My wedding band cost a 10th of that.  And the security guard helped get it out of the case for me (he was awful nice.  Doubt he made commission on the minuscule sale though).

Yes these cufflinks are irresponsibly expensive for two little chunks of metal, but compare it to the cost of her ring(s).  C’mon.  Getting married is already about spending wads of cash on small intricate things.  The flowers, the invitations… why not throw this almost $200 pair of Armani Cufflinks in there too?

They’re mainly black  so they’ll go with anything, plus they’re sterling silver and thus have real worth to them.

And don’t even try that man-gagement ring crap.  You want a husband, not a whipped pool boy.

Engagement Cufflinks.  Think about it.  Just an idea.

That I’m absolutely sure will never catch on.
