<$1 wedding bands off Aliexpress



lol at the downvotes.

Saved a bunch of money to spend on our house, honeymoon and shared projects, but sure, take the time out of your day to downvote somebody that views marriage differently than the downvoters.

Surely they have a monopoly on happiness that can only be expressed by clicking the down arrow.

I can only imagine the depths of their marital bliss based on expensive jewelry.


upvote, you achieve the symbolic gesture of a ring, while maintaining wallet girth and if one is lost or worn out cheap to replace. sounds like a great buy.


Yep! That’s the philosophy! Rings are just stuff with the minimal practical value of signaling one’s marital status. As a piece of stuff they’re something that could be lost and replaced, wholly different from people or relationships.

The ephemeral nature of a cheap ring is meant to evoke the importance of the intangible value of an invaluable relationship.

The stuff and the important relationship are intentionally separate.
