Logo is misleading. Wedding rings are traditionally plain gold bands. Engagement rings are the ones with the rock.

Great to point out, but isn't that irrelevant?
Knowing tonnes of women might be using the site, many WILL notice it:) For such sites details matter a lot; and getting the basics such as this wrong can get your users to lose trust in your site.
Zaid, it's not about whether people will notice it -- they WILL notice it because it's catchy and memorable. Calling the logo out is irrelevant because the logo works in regards to weddings.
Engagement rings are closely related to weddings. If you polled women about the logo, I doubt you'd get any who would consider it "wrong".
Point taken. If that's the case then I guess there is nothing broken here and I'm assuming folks behind the site did their homework when creating the logo.
I do love the overall site design.
