We were G-pals for longer than I can remember. A gpal is some where in between friend and lover; totally platonic, but with real love, more than just good friends or buddies; gpals will sacrafice and will be there to lend an ear & shoulder, always lending support, unlike friends whom cricticize and though they love you, gossip behind your back, gpals never do that, no matter what...if there is criticism needed, the gpal does it to your face and your face only! That is the nature of being gpals. That being said, I had a gpal, but faith made it where he is not my gpal anymore, this past summer he asked for my hand in marriage and he is now my beloved husband. I dont know how it works for gpals to wed there is no presidence but we have enough love in our hearts to see, so, we made one last gpal promise before we took the step to wed and that is...we will honour and respect one another no matter what! So this is what this wedding ring symbolizes and please if you all can't make such a promise then don't buy this special ring. (There is a female ring as a countpart to this one) This ring is so worth the amount asked for it (Try B4 U Buy & Enjoy)
