It's no surprise that engagement rings are an investment. Whether they’re composed of diamonds, gemstones, pearls, or simply metal, proposal pieces often cost thousands of dollars—and require proposers to save up for a significant period of time in order to deliver something that lives up to the proposee’s dreams. And while price (or size, for that matter) isn’t the best measure of these baubles’ worth—sentimental value and personal preference count far more—one bride on Reddit was over the moon when she received what she thought to be a very expensive diamond. Unfortunately, she was in for the shock of her lifetime when the jewel’s true value was revealed.

We’ve seen our fair share of dogs at weddings, and we can't deny the fact that they are (usually) an incredible addition to your big day. There's nothing cuter than watching a puppy ring bearer trot down the aisle and plant himself in front of his parents as they exchange their ceremony vows. Some dogs, however, are more behaved (and better guests) than others—which is why one groom-to-be is currently on the outs with his sister, who refused to leave her unruly Bernese mountain dog at home on his wedding day. The man, who ultimately disinvited his sister for her unwillingness to compromise, took to Reddit’s “Am I the A______” thread to share his dilemma and seek advice after receiving backlash from his family; since his post went live on June 27, 2024, it has gone viral, garnering nearly 5,000 upvotes and 1,400 comments.

If you’ve watched Bridgerton consistently over the years, you’ve likely noticed one key detail about almost every engagement ring to appear on the show: They’ve all featured pearls. Simon, the Duke of Hastings, proposed to Daphne Bridgerton in the series’ inaugural season with a petite piece with four pearls; in season two, Anthony Bridgerton popped the question with his mother Violet’s ring, which featured slightly more. This season, Colin Bridgerton followed suit, slipping a six-pearl piece onto his future bride’s ink-stained fingers (Lady Whistledown was in the middle of work when her suitor finally presented her with an engagement ring). And while some of these rings have featured tiny gemstones, their overpowering features have been those pretty treasures from the sea—but why? Why aren’t there any over-the-top, sparkling diamond engagement rings in Bridgerton, which is centered around a family with more money than most?

The Real Reason Why Penelope Bridgerton’s Engagement Ring Had Pearls—And How Much It Would Cost Today

When all of your friends are in their late 20s and early 30s, wedding season isn’t just one season—it’s year-round. Last year, my boyfriend and I traveled for nine weddings, most of which were on sweatier spring, summer, and early fall weekends. To keep cool, I opted for wedding guest dresses that showed a little more skin—but that came with a price. The V-neck cuts and thigh-high slits needed constant adjusting, especially on the dance floor. Needless to say, I needed fashion tape—and after trying this $13 pick from Amazon just once, it became my go-to for staying covered and comfortable in any dress.
