Speaker 2 (00:03):
There's a debate that's been doing the rounds, and I
want to get your opinion on this. There's a woman
has come at you believes women have gotten insecure about
how the ring will look to the media and other
people or social media, and they've forgotten what the proposal
and what the ring even symbolizes. If you have anxiety
that your man is going to get you the wrong ring,
(00:24):
you have the wrong guy. So when you got married,
when your husband presented, did you have any say on
the ring?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yes, of course I did, because I'm a control freak,
right so, and he knew that, and he also knew
that this is and I had said this to them,
this is a piece of jewelry that you hopefully will
wear for the rest of your life. So you've got
to love it and you've got to be invested in it.
And so the surprise, the first part of the surprise
was he just one day, one Saturday morning, said I
(00:51):
were going into the city and we went to a jeweler.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And that was really surprised. Like it was lovely as
a dawned.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I mean, it was like a nice slow at this
fancy jeweler, and we're designing what what sort of ring
would you like if you So it was all very hypothetical,
but just sort of knew about it. And then it
was a beautiful surprise the night that he got down
on one knee and proposed. And I hadn't seen the
finished product, right, so I got to have input into
what it would look like.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And I'm a simple woman.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
So I've just got a simple stone and it gives
a look at your.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Ring, so to speak.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's a bit personal for this time of the morning.
You could have at least brought me a drink first. AnyWho,
So there it is. It's beautiful, right, I just wanted
and I know I did.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I did tell it. I'm a big woman. I'm six
foot tall.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I need a big diamond otherwise, like a little diamond
would look weird. So and he bought that hookline thinker,
just like you bought it. So anyway, so I got
this beautiful ring. So I'm very much in the camp
of you should have some say in this piece of
jewelry you're going to wear for the rest of your life,
and then like it shouldn't come as a surprise when
(02:01):
when you get engaged because you should be talking about
your futures.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Just see those women and they've got like it's almost
like a cheesel a ring. Well, yes, and then my
husband gave me this cheese.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Famously, Adam Cooney, the AFL player Brandlow Medalist, he asked
his wife Hayley, to marry him and gave her a
burger ring and that was anyway, She's now got a really.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Beautiful ring, a gold.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So I think it doesn't really matter as long as
you're happy, because at the end of the day, it's
not about the ring, and it's not about the wedding.
It's actually about the marriage, which should last for the
rest of your life.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
If I sold a motorbike for my engagement with my
wife's engagement ring, but I had no saying what the
ring was now right, this is what sort of diamond
I want, This is what sort of ring I'm going
to get.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And was it a good investment? Do you think selling
that bike?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And it's funny because she said, are you you'll get
another motorbike And I'll say this when you're young and
you've got to make I had this motorbike excess eleven
hundred year Amaha one point one leader thing. It was
just fantastic, and I sold that. I got three thousand
dollars for it for the ring. And this is what
I'm saying this to the fellows. Young fellows have got
motorbikes right now. This is where the woman will lead
(03:11):
you into this path. I'll say, oh, you'll get another motorbike.
So you sell your bike, but then they don't expect
you to get.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Another motive Have you ever got another motible?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah? I've got six?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
No, she was right.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
What I mean is when years later, when we had
our child and we had a bit of money, I said,
I'm buying another bike and she said, oh, hang on,
I thought you were over that. I'll never get over that.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And you haven't got over your beautiful wife. So yeah,
actually that's a win win situation.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
When you got there and I've got bikes. Now she
doesn't even know which bikes I have. She'll say, well,
where did that one come from?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
A motorcycle?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I'm minding that?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
So Helen chose her. She designed and had you had
no say no, say okay, were you happy with.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The ring that you sold your bike?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It looks good. She always got room room that's a
bit pain, you know what. I reckon the excess eleven
hundred Yamaha would be worth more than that ring.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Now No, but nothing is worth more than your missus.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Very well said.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
