Feeling particularly stalker-y this morning, I clicked on a friend of a friend's profile whose engagement announcement showed up in my newsfeed. Then did a doubletake. The picture she had uploaded of her ring was actually her PROFILE PICTURE. An entire life -- reduced to half a finger and a politically incorrect piece of jewelry.
Now, I know, er, assume it's very exciting to get engaged ... but I think the urge to shout from the rooftops should be checked. E-mailing a picture of your ring to people who ask is totally acceptable; posting a picture to Facebook is slightly obnoxious; changing your profile picture... completely ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly!
I didn't do that when I got engaged, I promise! I don't think I would have the first time I got married, if FB had been around back then.
Agreed. Although does that mean I should take my wedding photo down soon? It's the only photo where I don't look like a blimp :).
It is rather icky. . . wonder what the man's equivalent is. . .and come to that, why don't men wear engagement rings?
