If the bride calls off the wedding, can/should she keep the ring? Ms. Manners says that you absolutely have to give the groom back the engagement ring... no matter how much of a scum bag he may be. But what happens when materialism gets in the way and things head to the courtroom? Check out this story about a couple who broke things off and a ring valued at $17,500 gets in the way. It is hard to believe how the tables get turned and every type of excuse and reasoning is used to prove that each one deserve the ring (or its cash value). Read the story and let me know what you think.

*I think maybe a good idea if you have any doubts; leave out the pressure of having a high dollar engagement ring... Go simplistic on the engagement ring and then for when the "I do's" are done then go for the expensive wedding ring if you wish... less chance of breaking up.
