Here's a little something from Doublex board that talks about engagement rings

Here's a little something from Doublex board that talks about engagement rings - specifically what to do with them if the wedding is canceled.

Christopher Reinhold Staten Island, said the diamond ring he gave Dipierro Collette, who broke off their engagement in September 2009 after four months and growing doubts, it is yours. He has filed a lawsuit to recover. In its suit in New York state court, Reinhold said that he gave Dipierro the prom dresses on his promise to marry him. Since I broke off the engagement and marriage never took place, cope, he says, is off. But Dipierro Reinhold says that because bridesmaid dresses proposed on her birthday, the ring of $ 17,500 was a gift, not a symbol that symbolizes the promise of marriage. So you can keep. Or, indeed, spend: Ni Reinhold Dipierro claims sentimental attachment or both would be happy with the cash value of the ring.

I know that an engagement evening dress should be a gift, not a contract or a prepayment of future "services", but in the judicial law of contract wins and usually seem to accept marriage to someone means to enter into a contract verbal of the ring is a part. Tres romantic! The label, of course, agrees that giving back is what to do, but the bad blood has sometimes suffered over morality.
