2. Life as Engaged Women

Fun facts about engagement rings: finger swelling with seasons, ring care fears, insuring jewelry, and mishaps like losing the diamond.
- "Diamonds are the hardest natural material and cannot be easily scratched, but they are brittle and can be broken, chipped, or shattered by a sharp direct impact." — Morgan informs Abby [12:39]

No one was hurt, no one’s in trouble; just paperwork and old-car woes.
