it not necessary to wear rings. It one's individual interest if he wears or not.

Not necessary. It's offensive to both men and women, like you have to buy love. It's an old tradition that has no place in an enlightened world.

I got engaged this year and the ring was only a very small part of the whole event. I guess its up to each individual what it means to them.

Well, The custom of ring giving has something to do with the circularity of the ring. I thing the whole thing with engagement ring has been too commercialized. A plain band, that would be double as the wedding band, would be just right. Not flashy but just as meaningful, if not more.

No, an engagement ring is not necessary...it is only a symbol...a materialistic symbol. Love is what matters and knowing htat the guy asked you to marry him is far more important than the ring. A girl in love should care more about getting the guy than getting a ring.
