'12
Everyone was kind of floored and amused yesterday when we heard that Avril Lavigne was engaged to the dude from Nickelback, Chad Kroeger. The general consensus is that they’re perfect for each other and will make horrible music together, which is how they met in the first place. Since both stars are Canadian, they’re taking the cover of Hello! Canada this week. Lainey, a fellow Canadian, has a really interesting take on this story. She says that the Canadian press is usually super nice to their celebrities, but that even they’re taking the piss out of this couple. Lainey also read the print edition of Hello!, and shared the hilarious detail about how Chad proposed. Avril was scrapbooking – scrapbooking! – and Chad “slipped an extra page in there that read ‘WILL YOU MARRY ME‘.” That’s hardcore. Do you think Avril’s scrapbooks look like this?
People Mag has more on Avril’s 14 karat sparkler, as well as a larger image of it if you’re interested. It was custom designed by Chad, and is a pear shape. People’s source also says Avril is “glowing.” Oh noes, is that code for pregnant, and does that explain why she got married to this dude we barely heard she was even dating? Here’s more:
When it comes to Avril Lavigne‘s engagement ring, it’s not so complicated — it’s huge!
Her new fiancé, Nickelback singer/guitarist Chad Kroeger, 37, chose a stunning sparkler for his Aug. 8 proposal.
“We helped Chad custom create Avril’s dream ring: a platinum-set pear-shape diamond with half moons totaling 14 carats from XIVKARATS in Beverly Hills,” designer Caryn Alpert tells PEOPLE exclusively. “What a perfect pair/pear!”
The bride-to-be, 27, “is glowing,” a family source tells PEOPLE. Adds a friend: “Just looking at them, you can see how much he adores her.”
These two do look really suited for each other. They’re two of a kind, which is not to say they’ll last longer than a couple years, although it could happen.
I actually like Avril’s ring! Don’t shoot me. I prefer emerald cuts, but I think it’s well suited for her in that it’s a little edgy but still as much of a poser of a ring and as common as she and her fiance are. There are no skulls or roses with thorns embellishing it, and it’s really pretty. I like it way better than Jessica Biel’s chunky ring.

Funny how they’re suddenly being papped after no one cared who either of them was with, so they talked about being engaged and then called paps to get their pictures taken. They’re about as subtle as Rimes.

Dangit. I have a pear shaped diamond wedding ring too! But about 13 carats smaller…

Me, too, and eleven yrs after getting it, I still think it is beautiful. F*ck you, SATC, for ripping on my ring! Now, heart shaped diamonds and marquis-cuts…those I can snark on all day long!

I think pear shaped rings are gorgeous. I tried one on a few weeks ago. I do find heart shaped ones kind of corny, though.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Always thought heart rings should be plastic and only fit the under 10s.
Pear cut rings can be beautiful if they’re small and understated.
I don’t like Avrils, too “blingy” for me.

The pear shaped with the half moons on either side kinda makes it look like a fleur de lit. I’m not sure if that more tacky or less tacky?
I’m wishing this giant oversized ring shit would stop. These are crazy rings. Something a little more wearable without a fulltime body guard might be nice. Much as I don’t like Aniston….I kinda hope she did get a smaller than 8 carat ring.

QQ right on; we should just paste yesterday’s postings on to today; irrespective of race,creed, ethnicity right thinking posters see hear and smell the suckfest of this unholy union, remember Don Mclean’s song American pie with the phrase “Satan Laughing with delight” that applies to this; Satan’s laughing that this carnival of douchery is being unleased on unsuspecting humanity; BTW, that first pic should line a parakeet cage or a cat litter box; I feel for our canadian neighbors aren’t there any hungry kodiak bears in BC, but I think even they would have trouble digesting these two unappetizing douchenozzles.
BTW, i know nothing about this 12 year old Avril chick (not my music at all prefer classic rock/motown) but how did she become “famous?”

What I find funny is that I have an acquaintance who was saying how it’s not a surprise at all that they’re engaged because they’ve been tweeting about eachother for a while.
My only response was “WHO FOLLOWS CHAD KROEGER!?”

LOL.
Also, does tweeting now equal love? My boyfriend and I fell in love having three hour conversations in the middle of the night after sexy time and before morning sexy time. I can’t imagine building that kind of intimacy in 140 characters or less.

I can’t stand their music, but why is everyone giving them such a hard time? This couple to me is one who might have a marriage that actually lasts, and I give them credit for not showing off their relationship and creating drama all over the world while dating.

Wow. Can’t you just see the screen T-shirt company coming already? Ahem, I’m sorry…fashion line. With a cheesy-ass name like “Rock ‘n’ Skull” or some crap like that?

He looks like he time traveled from the late 90s.
Do you ever meet people who look like they belong in another decade? and not in a good way either.
I know sometimes fashion comes back in style but he literally looks like he belongs in a 1997 Offspring music video.
Btw, does anyone remember them? What happened to them?
God, I feel old and i’m born 1988.

Pear is rather pointy. I always wonder if people who have pear diamond rings ever encounter accidentally scratching someone or something. I think my favorite ring is still Heidi’s. Really sad about him and Seal though.
