Quoting teaschip1: So men do wear engagement rings? So, then did you ask her to marry you or did she ask you? Sorry, I'm not familiar with men getting engagement rings, I'm just trying to understand.  |
Hi teaschip1,
This man wears one  I asked Nesrin to marry me yes when I go to Turkey very soon I will ask her again properley. In my situation with me living in England it was very important we both had that commitment I can not see anything wrong with a man wearing an engagement ring, I constantly look at my engagement ring and think about the life I now want with my fiancee. When we chose the rings we got a matching pair engraved with our names in and the date we then had a lovely party to celebrate our engagement.
I think alot of engagements in England are taken too lightly I have known people be engaged many times for me this is not taken seriously, my engagement means something and I still have fond memories of our engagement party.

Quoting CANLI:
As for the devoted Muslims wear the rings,or the bands on the right hands,i never heard of it. |
But it's like this here.
Look at our Islamist prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He's married for over 25 years, he wears his ring on his right hand although the norm is the left hand.

Hopefully whether devout muslims or not, they are all devoted to their wives

wearing ring at marriage is necessary .... it is evidence of .........
do you know why put the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand ?
it belongs to ancient Greece who believe that there is nervous special passes from this place to the heart directly, and therefore was evidence of the families of the heart or possession of another person.

Merhaba..anyways either devoted Muslim or younger generation they still will get marry.
But according to their culture ,they can have four wives as long as he can provide for them..
So the question is : Which ring should he wear for all his four wives?..Or should he wear all four rings on the left hand?

I also happen to agree with you elham. I think it's important as well to wear your wedding ring. I also found this interesting, since I didn't know where the tradition came from.

I also like the idea of men wearing engagement rings. It just isn't a custom here, so I found it interesting. Heck, why not, it's symbolic of their love and committment until they get married. See here when your single, the first thing a woman does when she meets a man that she is interested in, is to look to see if he is wearing a wedding ring. So, that is another reason why I feel it's important. It also sends a message, I am not available. But most important I feel it's symbolic of the love you have for eachother.
I understand there are men and woman who don't like wearing them. But if I were married, I would not be happy if my husband decided not to wear his.

It must be silver.
It is another meaningful! cause to critisize Erdoğan to death as he goes against the norm of wearing the wedding ring.
Shame on you Erdoğan!
