Hello Kitty Wedding Ring
It would seem that I would be thanking Sanrio for not creating these until after I was already married, but Hello Kitty Hell doesn’t make something like this simply disappear due to timing. While Hello Kitty wedding rings weren’t around when my wife and I got married, their appearance so close to our 10th anniversary has my wife trying to convince me that this is exactly what we need to celebrate the occasion:
It would be bad enough if I had to give her a Hello Kitty wedding ring, but it’s even worse that they come in a matching pair with Hello Kitty engraved on the inside meaning that I would also have to wear a Hello Kitty wedding ring. Sanrio, in their marketing genius, have set this up as a no win situation for any man living in Hello Kitty Hell. While the bride’s ring has Hello Kitty prominently on the outside, Hello Kitty is hidden on the inner circle of the ring on the groom’s ring — apparently even they realized the backlash if they had tried to place Hello Kitty’s face on the outside, but this strategic placement gives the bride negotiating room to argue that it is not nearly as bad as it could have been.
In reality, having Hello Kitty on the inside isn’t any better. Just the thought that I am somehow defacto married to Hello Kitty as well makes my heart seize up and gives my stomach that wonderful nauseating feeling you get before you have to run to the toilet to vomit.
Of course, the wedding rings don’t come cheap when Hello Kitty lends her face to them. The platinum Hello Kitty wedding rings run $1,640 (189,000 Yen) with the bride’s ring getting two minuscule diamond chips (0.02ct ) added to either side of Hello Kitty’s face. I’m actually surprised that they are Pepto Bismol pink.
So once again the Hello Kitty quandary arises. If I don’t get the rings, I will have to get something Hello Kitty that could be just as awful (or even worse) to placate not getting them. Either way I lose and Hello Kitty wins which is almost always the case in Hello Kitty Hell…

In centuries to come, after the empires of today have turned to dust, will those in the future wonder what the religious significance of Hello Kitty was?
Wii they see the plethora of HK items all over the world as more powerful that Jesus, Mohammed, Elvis or Buddah?
Chilling thought. But it could happen.

Hello Kitty is Sauron!

Too late - shown it to the boyfriend, these are the rings we are going to have. I’m not kidding.
Is it ok if I don’t wear the ring, he says. No its not!

Yeah, well, I finally get to go to Japan and what does my sister demand that we see? Freaking Puroland! I walked in there under extreme duress and still have PTSD about it. It looks like an acid trip gone horribly wrong. I also got my butt pinched by Dear Daniel. Hello Kitty Hell is a dark place in my soul and it looks like Puroland to me.
Where is the twleve step program for Kitty maniacs? ISn’t there some sort of anti-abuse law to protect us from this?
I will do everything in my power to save my brother-in-law from those rings. He is too good a man to have to suffer through such ignominy.

Very cute ring, but not as a wedding ring. I wouldn’t want my husband to wear one. Poor Barrie. But funny to read!! Congrats Rowena!

Adorable for me,but I’d never expect my husband-to-be to wear one. If there is a guy out there engaged to a woman who DOES expect him to wear it - run like hell or it will just be your own self inflicted Hello Kitty Hell til death do you part.

Too bad you have to buy them as a pair. I like the men’s ring and $800 isnt that steep for a nice platinum band. Im not even a fan but I like the idea of a secret hello kitty on the inside of my ring =^.^=

I think you should get the HK one for your wifeand have one made for you with your wifes silouhette on the inside. That way you can tell your wife that while she LOVES HK you LOVE her 
Which you obviously do because,…. wow….. that’s a lot of pink and fuzzy kitten you have to deal with.
I’m shocked you haven’t swung the other way and taken to wearing all black leather to balance out your masculinity.
If you ever get to LA I”ll buy you a drink.

Love these!!! But there is no way in hell I would ever let my husband wear that ring, I mean, the man should have SOME amount of pride. I would love to get the women’s ring as my right hand ring though….

If you were a cheating husband, this would totally get you laid with a “Here, let me show you exactly how miserable my marriage is” line.

I like them; I think they’re cute. But as a wedding ring? O.o; I could never. I just feel marriage is too sacred for that. But that’s just me. If anyone else wants to use ‘em, okay…

Fiancee: OMG isn’t that sooo cute?
Me: What?
Fiancee: These Hello Kitty wedding bands!
Me: ????????
Fiancee: Wouldn’t the be so original?!?!
Me: No… no they wouldn’t…
(Being totally ignored)
Fiancee: Look they are under $2000 dollars!!!!!
Me: ???????
Fiancee: I’m gonna see if they would take a down payment.
Me: *Grabs a knife and goes to cut his ring finger off.*
Fiancee: Oh quit being so dramatic, cutting your finger off won’t stop us from getting married, with these rings.
Me: No that isn’t it, my fingers swell- a lot- and I have to get rings cut off or I’ll loose my finger. I guess in this scenario it’ll be me or the ring and I’m gonna lose out…. why wait for the rush?
