should amritdharis wear wedding rings?

[puzzled]

Isn't rings an abrahamic custom ?

I'm not gonna wear a ring I hate wearing rings, makes my finger feel strangled

You're in luck, some other Gursikhs have already answered this question , you can make your own judgement about if you want to or not

I like the idea about exchanging Kirpans, that seems like a really nice idea

Just did a quick search and the origin of wedding rings is believed to be the ancient Egyptions who believed the ring finger had a vein connected to the heart. In the West it was first done by Christians in rome. 

Interesting

Iv always wondered do amritdharis go down on one knee and propose? 

Would that be wrong for a singh to do?   Not that I would ever do that, but just wondering what other people's opinions on this are ...

the only rings I think are appropriate are the Kara, chakkar and archery finger rings...

any singh who does that is either weak and easily influenced by the west or has watched too many romcoms, other crap etc.

prefer the way elders do it - boy and girl agree and family talk bas..

but a lot of folk these days are just people-pleasers who'll do anything i.e. both to compromise what they claim to follow...

as for rings, thats just another now modern western concept that has no history, relevance or meaning in sikhi plus it goes against gurujis hukam..but that aint gonna stop ppl trying...

How does doing a formality, more of a ritual, that can make someone really really happy..... makes you weak person ?

Yeah I guess romcom singhs would do that kind of stuff...

I wouldn't do that, I find that very cringe

Today people upload marriages, engagements, ceremonies, divorces on social media, so many would feel under pressure to do stuff like proposing on one knee because you need to show something on social media. 

I though sikhs are only supposed go down on their knees for sikhi? When doing matha tek, receiving parshad, receiving amrit etc    not for another person. 

But yeah I guess if people like that stuff then fair enough ...
