LIZ JONES: Women NEED diamond rings | Daily Mail Online
I’ve been proposed to precisely twice. The first went exactly like this: ‘I want to be tied to you, Chubby.’ I accepted. What can I say? I was over 40, and the prospect of me ever getting married was looking as likely as being attacked by a shark on dry land.
There was no ring at any point in the proceedings; I even had to pay for our platinum wedding bands. In this I resembled Liz Taylor who, Cartier told me, always picked up the tab for her jewels so Richard Burton didn’t feel emasculated.
My husband did later buy me something with diamond chips, but was keen to point out it was a ‘friendship ring’, even though we were married, reminding me of that brilliant line in Bridget Jones that goes: ‘Magda said even after she and Jeremy were married, whenever she mentioned children he went all funny and said she was getting too serious.’
