But You Forgot

[kitsunewarlock]

You guys forgot Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering. He proposed to his wife with a custom card.

Its currently one of the most expensive cards in the game (there are other copies of it handed out as wedding invitation gifts or something similar).

I can't blame you on that. Diamonds weren't popular for engagement rings until DeBeers started one of the most successful ad campaigns in history to convince women that if their man didn't fork over a wad for a diamond that he wasn't really serious.

Personally, I prefer sapphires, rubies and emeralds, because at least they're pleasing to the eye. If I had the money I'd totally get a Mario ring with the appropriate stones.
