Bride-to-be blasts fiance for her ‘tiny’ engagement ring – and others say they’d be ‘insulted’ to receive it

A BRIDE-TO-BE has slammed her fiancé after he proposed with a "tiny" engagement ring.

In a post that's gone viral on Reddit, the woman asks if she's being "shady and materialistic" for not wanting to wear the "little a**" jewel".

Alongside a snap of the piece, the future bride wrote: "We been together for eight years and talking about getting married for almost three.

"This the ring he said he saved up to buy me.

"Am I being shady or materialistic if I tell this mf I don't want this little a** ring? [sic]."

In the photo, the woman showcases a delicate gold band with a small diamond set just off-centre.

The post quickly gained traction on the site, racking up over 200 comments.

Some agreed with the bride-to-be's stance, with one writing: "I'm not materialistic when it comes to things like this but if my man proposed with THAT I would be full on insulted.

"He went out of his way to find the cheapest possible option; which to me says that he's probably like that in every aspect of the relationship and will probably be like that in every aspect of their marriage."

Another said: "Honestly, I'm with her on this. You can get affordable rings that don't look like they came out of the little dispenser machine next to the stickers and gumballs at Cici's Pizza.

"Even with a small budget he could have gotten something that won't immediately snap if it gets snagged, and I wouldn't trust that jewel setting to last more than a week with everyday wear."

"It's not about the price, it's the appearance of the ring. I actually snorted at how tiny and pitiful it looks," read one jibe.

Others thought it was an indicator that the woman and her fiancé may not be communicating effectively.

One person commented: "They have been talking about marriage for 3 years but have they gone window shopping for engagement rings? Have they discussed style, size and budget for the ring as well as a wedding?

"If not, she should gently let him know this is not her style and go with him back to the jeweller and show him what she would like."

"They've been talking about getting married for 3 years but never talked about rings or budget?" questioned another.

"I would not wear that ring, not because it's small, but because it’s not my taste and I don't want to look at it everyday. Plus, my husband knew what I wanted because we talked about it."

However, some thought the woman was being unfair to her man.

One wrote: "I'm a custom jeweller. I specialise in wedding and engagement rings. Please don't marry the guy who gave you this ring.

"Don't marry this guy because if the size, shape colour or style of a ring is more important to you than your future husband's feelings, what your idiot friends think, what complete strangers think or his ability to buy a big flashy rock? You're going to make a s***** wife."

Another added: "My personal opinion is that the ring isn't as important as the one giving it to you."

Fabulous Digital is not able to verify whether the ring is genuine.

Meanwhile, a bride-to-be dropped not-so-subtle hints about what ring she'd like in crafty social media posts - and it worked.

Another future bride tried on budget wedding dresses from the Internet to see what they really look like - and one left her VERY exposed.

And a woman who proudly showed off her engagement ring was slammed for "Spongebob Squarepants" nails.
