Facebook Picture

To the engaged girls who frequent here, when you got engaged did you change your default pic to a picture of just your ring?To the other girls, do you have a lot of friends who do that?It seems to be the accepted practice among my group of friends and I find it kind of tacky. Maybe it's just me but it reminds me of the girls I know who literally run full speed at you and then jam the ring in your face while screaming "OMG LOOK!!" I adore the photo albums of the proposal/rings but I think seeing the blurry close up of the ring on the finger every time you message me is weird.wow...i'm bored loltaking a break from job/apartment hunting...

Nope - I kept my old one on there and just made an album of my ring. I don't understand why people do that but a lot of my friends have done it too.

I created kind of a collage for my picture. It was a picture of us right after the proposal and one of my ring because I didn't want to put in a photo album. I wanted it to be something people could see right away, but wouldn't always be there for people to do a comparison.

tiiiffffff

There are quite a few of my facebook friends that have gotten engaged this year.. and I don't recall any of them putting up pictures of their rings. At least not in their default picture. I understand being excited, but I think I would rather go with just an album picture. I am also job hunting at the moment while watching HGTV. Exciting friday night.

Um..no. That never even crossed my mind.

Nope, but my friends are just now getting engaged, so there aren't a lot of them.LOLI don't plan to post a picture of the ring, but I do want to take a picture with my left hand near my face, to announce my engagement, without announcing it. Kinda like, let's see who notices it first.LOL

Well, I've never done that nor seen it nor thought about it, but I can understand if someone did.  Some girls get so excited about their rings.  And that is the symbol of your engagement after all.I don't think I changed my profile picture at all, to be honest.

Yes some of my friends did that.  I personally didn't even post pictures of my ring.  Usually the pics never turn out good, and I personally don't like it.  I figure that other people feel the way I do, so I never posted them for everyone to see.However, I did email pics of the ring to some family and friends that asked to see it.

Having a facebook photo album of your engagement with a few ring photos in there - fine. Having a facebook album ENTIRELY dedicated to your ring - i.e., the name of the photo album is "MY RING" and there are 20 different shots of the ring in the album and nothing else - not okay. (Yes, I have a friend who did this. Her default picture is also of her ring. I think she cares about the ring more than her FI...)

Nope!  I didn't change my facebook picture, didn't make a "Proposal" or "Ring" album.  I've always found that pretty amusing.  After we got engaged we took two pictures of my ring (per my mom's request) to send to her since we wouldn't see our families for at least a month.  I eventually posted those two pictures on my personal photo page (not facebook) but you actually have to be friends with me as opposed to just having gone to school with me to know where to find that.  And its not like the ring picture is the "theme picture" from this summer.

YES almost all of my friends have done that!!!!!!!! I'd bash them but I love them. =D I'm not engaged yet, but I always imagined keeping it quite over the social networking mania, it's just weird to me that people I haven't seen since middle school would know all about my personal life...therefore I try to put as little information as possible. But believe it or not, I have a friend who would let us ALL know through STATUS UPDATES whether or not she had her period that month when they were trying to get pregnant!!!! WOW TMI!!!! haha

My picture change was a picture of me and my FI at dinner the night he proposed. He's holding my hand and you can see that there is a ring there, but no detail.  I didn't even create an album of my ring because I thought that would be a little AWish.

I have one friend who posted a very nice shot (surprisingly) of her hand and ring after she got engaged. My friends are just starting to get engaged, so there haven't been a lot, but most have just made an album of the engagement, which included the ring. Also common practice among my friends is to make their status Jane Doe IS ENGAGED!!!, as well as changing their relationship status. Like, ok, you're engaged, congratulations, no need to bombard facebook with relationship status change, status announcement, new photo album, and possibly new profile picture, to make the big announcement. Enough already!

I know I'm late to the party, but we actually got an engagement announcement that had a picture of the couple, except the picture was centered on the girl with an "O" face pointing at the ring, and the guy was halfway cut off. I looked at the rest of their pictures from when they got engaged, and there were plenty that were beautiful of both of them. The fact that they (she probably) chose that one kinda made me mad. BF and I both made fun of her, and continue to do so everytime we see the announcement on our message board in the house.

I actually really really hate this. It's kinda throwing it in everyone's face and a bit tacky...
