Today, my boyfriend proposed. The ring just had a piece of graphite on it. My boyfriend argued that since graphite and diamonds are both just forms of carbon, it is the same thing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my very cheap boyfriend of four years proposed. I was overwhelmed with emotion, since he bought such a huge, seemingly-diamond ring. I was later overwhelmed with emotion when my finger turned green. FML
Today, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me the most beautiful diamond ring I have ever seen. As I excitedly put it on my finger, he told me it wasn't an engagement ring, but I should wear it like one to keep other men away and seem "unapproachable". FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She just grabbed the ring and said in a raspy voice, "My precious..." FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed with the biggest, tackiest, most Geordie Shore-style ring I’ve ever seen. I said yes because I love him, but this thing is twice as wide as my finger and just looks horrible compared to the solitaire ring I told him I really liked. I’m embarrassed to be seen wearing it.

You're marrying him; who cares about the ring? At least he's putting some thought into it and being sweet and funny and original, unlike every other jerk who just proposes at a restaurant with a diamond. Besides, as someone who actually owns diamonds, I can tell you that they're pretty boring. :P

Well, you know... he's totally right. He probably put a lot of thought into it, and decided that money could easily be placed somewhere more appropriate-- such as, towards the actual wedding. Be happy that he proposed to you at all. Of course, graphite isn't the best choice, seeing as you can draw on a piece of paper using the right, but, as they say, it's the thought that counts. :3 I, as a bit of a science nerd myself, think that's totally adorable and I really hope you said yes.

Now you have more money to spend on a house, restaurants, cars, kids stuff, or whatever else you'll need when you're married.

OP, I don't think it's been said enough to be honest. Some people would kill to be proposed to, and you only care about some stupid piece of gold? I wouldn't care if it was literally a cracker jack ring. As one commenter said, you are exactly the kind of girl that gives females a bad name. This is so damn stereotypical.
