engagement ring - who puts it on?

Kind of agree with you there.. I mean putting yourself in the middle of their special day, even if it’s just an engagement is kind of weird to me.
I think it would send me the wrong message if my MIL insisted on doing that or even thought that it was “besharam” to put a ring on my fiance’s finger.

I just don’t like when people bring all that into a marriage - especially those who carry on with traditions, even they don’t understand simply because “log kya kahengay”.

I don’t get it because it’s not like we’re holding hands. Heck, you can probably get away with not even touching each other. Yeah, it’s probably not the end of the world but I find it odd that it’s soooo taboo. And it’s definitely more of the “what will people think” attitude, which I don’t understand. It’s even weirder in my case because the fiance to be and I have been in school together and it’s a “love marriage” so it feels fake and forced to act like we’ve never been anywhere near each other ever. I’m not advocating making out/holding hands/kissing and such, but it’s just a ring!
