I get what you're saying but also, shouldn't poor people be allowed to get married if they want?
It's really inexpensive to get the paperwork done at the courthouse.
Like, why try to gatekeep love behind physical wealth?
Poor people can do whatever they want the point is if you can’t take care of yourself then your can’t take care of your partner and you shouldn’t promise anyone shit until you can afford to keep yourself alive after spending some money on jewelry
I think you're taking a huge leap on what in all likelihood is some made up shit that not buying a ring = not able to care for one another.
Anyways, I hope your day is going and goes well. Take care.
