OK, fine, I admit it -- I secretly envy hip hop's most ostentatious bling nuggets (T-Pain's new joint makes me particularly weak-kneed), but let's face it, none of that stuff has any place adorning a guy like me, even if the recession means I now might actually be able to afford a giant dangling TIE fighter or Flava Flav bust or life-size platinum replica of issue #57.

Don't worry, you'll probably get another chance, though you might have to re-pop the question in Venice to make up for the first attempt.)

She, too, is probably a keeper.
