One of my very best friends just got engaged (I am her MOH) and her ring is exactly like mine, only a smaller version. Am I being a terrible friend that it bothers me a bit? Of course I haven't said anything (and would never), but am I normal?
Dont be upset honey...one of my BM just got engaged .....well right b4 x-mass and her right is just like mine ...i dont care...its a little different but who care - maybe she told her FH that she loved your right and he just want out and got one like it - she might not have said i want her ring ......

I'm curious--what does your ring look like??? I think that would help![]()
If my friend gets the same ring that I have I would be so happy because she is my friend. I would be flattered. Any thing that makes my girls happy makes me happy.

No. But if she starts picking the same vendors, styles/colors of things, or the same dresses, then I would be a little annoyed.
I would be a little bothered too. What really annoys me are girls who try to act all riteous like they're above getting annoyed at such trivial things. Listen- it sounds like you had your heart set on your style ring and there's nothing wrong with feeling a twinge of something over your friend getting the same exact one. Some people don't mind having the same thing as everyone else, while others like to be a little unique. In the big scheme of things, are there other more important things to worry about? Of course! But don't think you're abnormal for wanting to be the only one to have your style ring in your circle of friends.

Thanks for everyone's insight. I'm really trying not to be selfish, but for some reason I'm just bothered by it. I think because her whole life she wanted a princess cut stone with baquettes on the side and then all of a sudden after I started talking about wanting a round center stone with pave-set round stones on the side (which is what I have) she changed her mind. And she only got engaged about 7 or 8 weeks after me so some of our common friends are seeing us at the same time for the first time after being engaged and they are like 'Oh your rings are the same!'
Oh well. My guy is cuter.![]()

No, not at all.
I would be flattered means you have good taste
