Happy holidays, Buffistas!
In a Jewish wedding, the wedding ring has to belong to the groom, and be worth more than a (very small) amount of money. These are internal characteristics of the ring, and if they don't exist, it can't be a wedding ring. But it can be a small plastic glowy thing, for all that matters, and it'll still work.
Leading to a number of "unintentional" weddings back in the '70s when some Jewish kids at a carnival used plastic rings on their girlfriends and uttered the traditional formula.
CV! I'm so happy for you!!

It's a wedding ring AND a power center, all in one!
AND, I lost a book I'm supposed to read next
Kat, did you put order in thing sbefore cleaning up? Could it be that the book went into where of one of the things you put back in their places went?

There were several urban legends going around about this, usually between two kids in the same age-group in "Bnei Akiva", that had to have a proper divorce later. I have no idea if it's really for real or not.

Considering the importance of marriage in the traditional Jewish society, this description is way too accurate.
And with that, I'm off to light the 3rd Hanukkah candle.
Thank you thank you! I've been waiting for this for a LONG time (this was our fourth Christmas together), and I am so ridiculously excited! I've already bought pretty much every bridal magazine ever published. I've suddenly turned into Wedding Day Barbie, is this normal??? I even went to get a manicure yesterday so my hands would look pretty when everyone is looking at the ring!
Squeeeeeeeeee!
t picks Cyber up and swings her around and around and around
You are going to be the adorbalist bridezilla EVAH!

Nilly, I could have, but didn't. I need a housewife and a librarian to help me manage the books. Even after last summer's book purge extrarodinaire, I'm still runnin gout of book space. Tis irksome.

You aren't talking the talk of the unintentionally married, are you?
Congratulations, CV!
I don't understand this. How can anything other than wearing the ring as an agreement to marry make it an engagement ring?
When one of the most powerful companies in the world makes it their business to tell women what is and isn't appropriate. Fucking DeBeers and their diamond solitaire marketing bullshit.

I thought it was real, but now I'm going to have to find out for sure.

Well I'd have been below the age of consent back then, but I know I proposed to my kindergarden girlfriend. It didn't last.
I don't want to go to work today.
Not getting out of my jammies would be nice too.
I seem to have been given a $250 equivalent gift certificate at work. Collaboration & Team Work, they say. Likely story.
