近几年，很多婚俗都被打破。比如，很多女性选择婚礼时不穿白色婚纱；很多夫妻自己承担婚礼费用，不让父母破费。最近又有了一个新趋势：双方共同承担订婚戒指的费用。为了省钱或者不想再为钻石行业做贡献，很多夫妻将从祖辈继承下来的戒指进行改装后重新使用，或双方共同承担买戒指的费用。通过这种方式，双方在节约成本的同时，也为订婚戒指增添了新的意义。美国一家婚庆网站读者对此问题反应不一，有些女性表示，如今男女都有收入，共同为家庭财政做贡献，所以两个人共同承担戒指费用也很正常。另外也有女性表示，订婚戒指本来应该是意外惊喜，这样的美好瞬间不应该被剥夺。 Rules are meant to be broken, even when it comes to the institution of marriage. These days, plenty of women don’t wear white dresses on their big day, and many couples pay for the wedding themselves instead of expecting their families to do it. But there’s one new trend on the horizon: couples who split the price of an engagement ring. When New York City-based writer Jaya Saxena and her then-boyfriend Matt Lubchansky, an illustrator, began talking about getting engaged, Saxena said that she wanted to balance out the cost of a ring. Instead of asking Lubchansky to buy her a new piece of jewelry, the couple used the diamond from Saxena’s great-grandmother’s ring, a family heirloom, and had it set in a new band. |
