  1. Yeah diamonds are boring, I'ma a 33 year old millennial. My wife got a Sapphire. And I wanted stainless steel. On our 15 year wedding anniversary (in 2 years) we are getting tattooed rings.

  2. Bro who cares about a ring I'd make my own and give it to the one that I really love even though I know I'm cheaping out or whatever I wanna give her the experience first then I'll get her a ring!

  3. Because we can’t AFFORD diamonds. Can’t afford houses either . Wearing alternative rings and hoping our parents leave the house to us after they die .

  4. Gen Zs are always want to change things to suit their ideas. They do the same thing with jobs. They want things different than the past generations in getting their at all the time. They try to make big money but they want to work the job by its requirements. They're lazy and don't want a real job. They want something that's not real. Grow up Gen Z, you're not the in charge. Whiners!!

  5. Not surprised they don't use Fruit Loops.

  6. Who cares about the gens that can't figure out what chromosomes are.

  7. They're copying Gen X, they certainly didn't start the trend. Anyway, it's more about the ostentation of women than anything, men never had an issue with a plain gold band.

    It doesn't even have to be gold. It doesn't even have to be a marriage.

  8. Go Pawn Shopping for ring💍🙂

  9. I hate wearing rings. Why can't it be a necklace or setabout or framed vows or something? Also…don't tatto bc wht if u get a divorce?

  10. Another popular trend today is not getting married at all that's what im doing. let alone get a tattoo for someone Born in 08-28-1987 35 year male millennials

  11. Another popular trend today is not getting married at all! The ring no one cares about that costs you a fortune is just the begining of the aggravation for married couples.

  12. So? You so-called news groups give those groups WAY too much attention and credit.

  13. Lets Be Honest We All Remember This Record:-
