Hi. My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. His mum has always been really involved into our relationship since the beginning. Now that its almost the time for marriage, she asked me if im okay to get proposed to by my boyfriend with her old wedding ring. What should I say? Is it okay to get proposed to with her ring? What are your views? Please help me

Here are what netizens think:
- Heirloom … you know what’s that right? It means his mom treat you like a jewel. Keep that ring with gratitude and ur soon to be husband to get u another set of your own. No women would want to give up her own wedding ring unless she’s very fond of her. Who knows when you have kids of your own in future, you can pass it down. Like heritage!
- I am shocked with some of the comments here. I am almost certain being thrifty or saving money is not a consideration at all. It is the utmost honour your mother-in-law can bestow upon you. No mother-in-law will offer her own wedding ring if not for her utmost love for you and her son. It is likely priceless in her POV, heirloom or otherwise. However, it is likely an heirloom piece. My wife was so happy to receive my mum’s diamond, given to her by my paternal grandfather, a choice piece from my then late grandmother collection. Happily, she cherishes it more than the engagement ring I bought for her.
- Of course it’s not ok. Modern singaporean lady should say no to any proposal that does not involve a Mercedes, Orchard road Condo and a contractual promise of immediate retirement. Please know your worth queen, go and get that bag and eternal happiness. Don’t give in to the sentimental rubbish.
- I suppose u will get another new ring during wedding, right? So personally, for the proposal, I will gladly accept mom’s ring. I think the mom treasures me enough to hand something that meant much to her.
