Lara Bingle’s recently discovered that she only has three real friends to call on in her time of need, but at least she’s capable of doing the right thing when it comes to engagement break-up etiquette.
As she told the Daily Telegraph this morning, she didn’t think twice about giving the $200, 000 ring back to Michael Clarke:
“I felt it was the right thing to do. It cost a lot of money and he works so hard to achieve what he does, I just thought that was the best thing.”
And according to The Knot wedding website that’s exactly what she should do. Because while legally there’s no real reason why you should hand it back, good etiquette demands that you do.
Even so, have you seen the ring? What would you do?
