I was reminded today by a conversation of one of the most (at the time) condescending things I'd had said to me (at that point).
When PJ & I were newly engaged (and yes, young), we attended a party with a lot of people of...shall we say....a higher social status?
(LOL, right)

While I was hiding in a corner (I had no one to talk to about serial killers. PJ is much better at small talk than I_), one of the women came up to me & asked if he was my boyfriend. I smiled & VERY proudly said, "No, he is my fiance!"

She made a show of looking at my left hand.

My ring, of course, was small in comparison to hers. But I treasure that ring. He had to choose between a PS2 or that ring. Come on.

With a condescending smile, she said, "Oh, how nice. I'm sure it will be a sweet starter marriage for you."

(What, like bread? LOL)

Anyway, it is now three weeks past our 15th wedding anniversary, I still have and treasure that ring, and I still can't make bread for the life of me.

Even if you give me a starter.

😂😂😂😂

For reference, this is from our wedding day. I love them.

(yes, despite my actual size, my hands really are that tiny. it is a tad ridiculous.)
