Lucas Mancoon-Unger proposed to his fiancée Carlee Alisan Leifkes with an engagement ring made from one of his wisdom teeth, according to Cosmopolitan.
When Leifkes and Mancoon-Unger discussed diamonds for engagement rings, Leifkes decided she didn't want diamonds.
"Diamonds are so overrated," she said. "I don't need one to prove how much someone loves me."
While diamonds may be a girl's best friend, Leifkes was clear that Mancoon-Unger was her true best friend, and she didn't need a diamond ring to prove that.
"So incredibly excited to marry my best friend, the man who knows that his wisdom tooth means more to me than a diamond," she posted on Facebook. "We have never been the 'traditional couple,' why the heck start now?" Buzzfeed reported.
“It’s almost a contest of who has the biggest ring and whose fiancé loves them the most, and here I am with the coolest ring I’ve ever seen in my life!,” she said.
"My birthstone is a diamond. I don’t need one to prove how much someone loves me. He’d already moved all the way from Canada to do that," Leifkes added, according to Mashable.
Young couples are going the nontraditional route with engagement rings, Mashable reported. As a result, diamond prices are down 9 percent due to the decrease in engagement ring sales.
