Can You Give a Promise Ring to a Man Best Friend?
With the increasing rate of men wearing engagement rings, does the same trend carry over to promise rings?
The answer is short and sharp, a resounding yes! This trend has been growing in popularity for a while now.
Before same-sex marriage became recognised by law in many parts of the world, male same-sex couples would celebrate their commitment to each other in special ceremonies that would celebrate their partnership and love for each other. While these ceremonies may not have been legally binding, they represented a special commitment between them. As a result, couples have been exchanging men's rings with the thought of one day making their union legally binding when it was eventually recognised. Men wearing promise rings is not limited to same-sex married couples, there is an increasing trend of women giving promise rings and engagement rings to their male counterparts.
