Does She Have to Take The Family Stone?

Miss Manners recently took on the question “Does She Have to Accept His Mom’s Old Engagement Ring?” on MSN Lifestyle. The reader seeking Miss Manner’s council was asking because she claimed she would feel uncomfortable sporting someone else’s bauble on the all-important digit. Groom Groove doesn’t know about you, grooms, but if we were planning to pop the question with an heirloom, we think we’d have the foresight to drop some hints or flat out ask how our lady feels about family engagement rings. Personally, of course, we think they’re the greatest - both for the sake of tradition and for out wallets!
