Article: The Bigger the Carat the Better the Wedding?
Author: Donna Monday
Ahh . . . sweet romance.
The flowers. The chocolate. The late night whispers of “I love
you.”
For most people in love, the culmination of months of
togetherness and special friendship comes down to one single
moment: The marriage proposal - - featuring a simple, but
elegant, diamond engagement ring.
Of course, if you’re a celebrity, a simple ring may not have
enough wattage to suit your tastes. Thus, we see many
celebrities sporting five-carat to seven-carat diamond studded
engagement and wedding rings.
Well, if you can afford it, why not flaunt it, right?
Take for instance the recent marriages of Britney Spears and
Star Jones. When Britney Spears got engaged to her former back
up dancer, Kevin Federline, she promptly bought herself an
awesome-looking five-carat diamond engagement ring. (Does anyone
really believe that Kevin bought this for her on his dancer’s
salary?)
Britney bought herself the ring she felt she deserved – nothing
wrong with that. Then, she and Kevin quickly made the leap to
matrimony in a matter of months with a surprisingly nice (no lip
kissing of Madonna) wedding ceremony.
As for Star Jones, it’s not known whether her stunning
seven-carat princess cut diamond ring was bought or donated, but
she too happily skipped off to a wedding ceremony with all the
trimmings.
So, does all this extra diamond wattage mean that celebrities
have a better wedding ceremony than everyone else?
Absolutely, not.
There’s absolutely no proof that their multi-carat diamond rings
and fancy wedding accommodations gave them any more satisfaction
at the alter than Joe and Jane Doe’s down right sparse nuptials
in a run-down back yard.
Buying the biggest and fanciest diamond engagement ring on the
planet doesn’t guarantee anything but a nice piece of ice
jewelry to show off to your family and friends. Other than that,
celebrities have the same odds for a successful, happy union as
the rest of us.
And that’s the way it should be.
