Well they might opt for something simple and classy, or perhaps something a little more ostentatious depending on their personality. But one thing is for sure, gay people getting married have much bigger balls than all these heteroconformist "men" that would buy an expensive rock they don't even want for a woman they clearly pedestal.

I don't really know. Something symbolic would be nice, but in my mind it would be like a tungsten carbide ring with my partner's name in binary or something. Economical, long-lasting... but I'm not sure. That's a bridge quite a ways away for me.

The lack of social traditions and traditional obligations seems daunting at first but it's kind of fun to be unencumbered (especially when I read reynir's replies and go white-faced from the ridiculous sexist pressure put on men and women to be macho and feminine still today).

I'd rather just go with really traditional and give land. Like, say, the Duchy of Burgundy.

I really appreciate you and a few others bringing a little levity to this thread, makes me feel much better about it. Cheers.
