One groom-to-be is crowd funding his fiancé’s engagement ring
One hopeful groom-to-be is getting a serious bashing online for his crowd funding stunt.
The 30-year-old has ruffled some feathers with a €14,000 crowd sourced fund for an engagement ring for his ride or die.
"This will raise awareness about the difference between the love we share and the love people have for us," he wrote on the page.
"Money for the engagement is your chance to get involved. I've heard everything from "I Love Yall" to "You need to put a Ring On It" etc etc."
"After watching Talladega College raise over 400k to attend the Presidential Inauguration I became a devout believer in this method of raising money for things and people you love," he continued.
"Sometimes we can't quite afford expensive things by ourselves. A lot of people lean on credit card companies and banks (that overcharge them) so that they appear to do nice things for people they love by themselves," he said, justifying his actions.
The fund isn't exactly working out for the groom, with only €570.00 raised towards his goal so far.
While it is wonderful that the loved-up lad wants to propose, €14,000 is a lot to ask of friends and strangers.
I just saw a crowd funding page for an engagement ring by the husband to be. I have seen it all.

"We have friends, family, and colleagues that don't mind passing up a drink or a sandwich to help out. Anything helps."
"All proceeds will go to the purchase of a beautiful engagement ring one that WE ALL can be proud of. Call me crazy but Love is Free Not Engagement Rings and Weddings," he finished.
