I got this question from a lovely man via Instagram the other day:
"What do two men typically do with rings? Accomplish they both do an engagement and wedding dial, or are the engagement rings typically used as the wedding rings? Also do both people wear the engagement ring?"

Turns out, I know a thing or two about jewelry, but I'm not a gay man, so I had some reckons but thought it was probably best to do some crowd-sourcing for information and ideas. Which, holy-kajole, I got such amazing, charming, kind and inspiring stories from our community.

First up, my reckons. When it comes to anything and everything wedding-related, I'm a firm believer that there's no reason to be bound by any sort of rule or tradition, espec

(Closed) Queer and engaged, but what to tell religious/ non-accepting parents?
I’m new here, but I’ve study through some of the other posts and it really seems like there’s a nice society here. I wish someone might own advice about my situation. I wasn’t really sure which board to post on, since it’s relevant to so many, but here goes…
So my boyfriend and I got engaged at the end of August 2013. We are both in our mid-20s, queer, and don’t have a lot of money/resources. We live together already, but neither of our families knows that. She’s estranged from her family for the most part, and I’m not super close with mine, but trying to build a bond with them.
The challenge is, my parents are very religious and generally against anything queer. I came out to my parents over the past several months, which has been difficult. My mom basically doesn’t want to converse about it and denies everything/ wants to avoid the subject. And my dad listened but didn’t really utter anything to me about it. He just seemed very uncomfortable and bruise and confused, but didn’t say anything more.
My parents comprehend (or at least
