Ariel and Quinn don't have a lot of money. But they do have a whole lot of love. And when it came time for these lovebirds to get hitched, Ariel was ecstatic to be marrying her best friend. But Quinn wanted his bride to have a ring. It's a fake diamond set in sterling silver that only cost $130. In fact, a rude saleswoman went so far as to call the wedding ring 'pathetic'. But Ariel turned to Facebook to let everyone know the ring means the world to her!

Ariel defended her 'pathetic' ring on Facebook, where tons of people rallied behind her.


Ariel’s Facebook post reads:






He scraped up just enough money to buy me two matching rings from Pandora. Sterling silver and CZ to be exact. That's what sits on my ring finger, and I am so in love with them.

While we were purchasing my rings however, another lady that was working there came over to help the lady selling them to us. She said, 'Y'all can you believe that some men get these as engagement rings? How pathetic.'

When she said that I watched my now husband's face fall. He already felt bad because he couldn't afford the pear-shaped set that so obviously had my heart and covered my Pinterest page. He already felt like a failure, asking me again and again 'Are you sure you'll be happy with these? Are you sure this is okay?'






We bought the rings and left.

Why do material possessions equate love??




People went crazy for Ariel's post. In fact, it's been shared more than 45,000 times, with folks posting photos of their own modest wedding rings. Because it's not the size of the ring that matters, but rather the size of the love between the couple!
