‘Wife Gives USB Wedding Ring to Her Geeky Husband’

Story and Image via Mashable

A custom wedding band should reflect your true personality. After all, you’re (ideally) going to be wearing it for a very long time. That was the idea behind the above USB wedding ring given to a Microsoft game developer by his decidely non-geeky fiancé. She may not share his passion for tech, but hey, she’s got a sense of humor and a great eye for gold jewelry!

Unfortunately the USB drive isn’t functional, but “the interior is engraved with the words, “For a lifetime of memories,” an allusion to the USB’s storage capabilities.” Now THAT is romance.

    Makes sense; she married him after seeing his hard drive.

  2. Shiftkitty says:

    My husband was working in the corporate environment when I turned the tables and proposed to HIM by handing him a resume that outlined what I was bringing to the relationship, what I wanted out of it, what my long term goals were, a list of past relationships and why they ended, etc. He read it out loud before realizing what it was, and before he could answer another guy said “If he’s not hiring, I am!”

      What happend when the markets crashed?Some sort of recession?

    • Sangelia says:

      somehow I get the feeling that due to your husband reading it out loud. and then the other dude responding like that. your man realized what kind of a treasure he was getting in you.
      plus, this is rather sweet.

  3. DogDog says:

    I like it.

  4. Taylor says:

    To me, that kind of looks like an unbuckled belt. XD Very appropriate, considering the marital circumstances. Hahahaha.

  5. Sangelia says:

    I wonder how this could be worked into one with a celtic knot.

  6. Kylynara says:

    If she really loved him she’d have gotten a functional on that used a microSD card for storage, so that he could upgrade the capacity over time.

    • Tea says:

      but in a few years that technology will be out dated. So I think it’s best the way it is.

    • Nyan says:

      If she really loved him she wouldn’t have chosen to depict a flash memory device, sinch flash memory has a finite number of program-erase cycles before it fails, and therefore the metaphor of a “lifetime of memories” doesn’t work since USB flash drives won’t last a lifetime.

    • Alexl0923 says:

      See….this is why you guys don’t have girlfriends…no one cares about functionality…there are things outside of the technological world….

  7. fraoch says:

    Aw that’s sweet c:

  8. Batty says:

    That’s a pretty cool ring!

  9. IAmStaggered says:

    When the divorce comes through, this will be formatted.

  10. Woah says:

    This ring is just too explicit for me. The whole USB with the male connector about to enter the female port. Some people leave nothing to the imagination, WAY too suggestive.

    • Liz says:

      Wow. Taking prude to a whole new, insane level.

      • RollDdice says:

        I agree, Liz. Woah just made a run for the border there.

        Wait until they’ve been married a couple of years and he starts looking for a USB hub.

    • Sangelia says:

      and here I thought I was prudish….
      you have me beat by a mile

    • Missy says:

      Wow, how could anyone see a USB, something mos people use every day, multiple times a day, as something sexual?

      Maybe get your head out of the gutter and stop thinking about sex so much, cause there is NOTHING suggestive about this.

      Hats off to you if you’re just trolling it up though.

  11. Kat says:

    “by his decidely non-geeky fiancé”

    If the person in question is a girl, “fiancée” takes an extra “e” on the end to make it feminine.

    Love the ring though. I wonder how much it cost to have it custom made like that?

  12. K says:

    I can’t favorite it. The 2 lines it takes up mustve kicked the favorite button.

  13. kevin G says:

    If it were 20 years ago she would have only given him a floppy

    • Amy says:

      Hahahaha – he would have felt as if she was insulting his sexual performance.

    • Juubee says:

      You’re living in the past, it’s 2010, widespread use of floppies for data storage has been out for nearly 30 years.

      • Macumazan says:

        Only if your talking about the 5.25″ floppies. The 3.5″ were widely used until the late 90′s. I remember several of my computers during that decade having one or even two of them.

        • Geeksgirlfriend says:

          Heck, I still have a 3.5″ installed because I refuse to get rid of the disks! Just more plastic in the landfill!
