You can\u2019t go a week without reading another Angelina-and-Brad-have-finally-wed story and, frankly, until we see a ring on Angie\u2019s finger, we aren\u2019t going to believe it.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it seems that with this couple, even a golden band sitting squarely on Ange\u2019s ring finger won\u2019t mean they\u2019re actually married \u2013 as the world recently discovered.<\/p>\n

When Angie stepped out at an anti-rape event in Congo this week, she didn\u2019t even try to hide the fact that she was wearing a shiny new wedding band. In fact, she happily posed for photos in a manner that actually highlighted her new band.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s hardly surprising that photographers and journalists at the event assumed the wedding band meant she was, well, married.<\/p>\n

But, no. Even that logic would be incorrect with this unpredictable couple. However, the real story behind Angie\u2019s wedding ring that isn\u2019t actually her wedding ring reflects just how considerate \u2013 and in love \u2013 her and Brad remain.<\/p>\n Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring is thought to be worth a quarter of a million dollars\n

Not wanting to flaunt her $250,000 diamond engagement ring in the war-ravaged developing nation, Ange decided against wearing it at the<\/p>\n

UN-sponsored event, which aimed to discourage rape as a tool of war.<\/p>\n

Understanding her desire to keep everything, including her clothing and jewellery as simple as possible, Brad surprised his finacee with a family heirloom, his great grandmother\u2019s wedding ring.<\/p>\n

Grazia magazine reports a source saying \u201cShe said she didn\u2019t want to wear her engagement ring because she thought it was important not to be ostentatious with clothes and jewellery when in a poor region.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrad said he completely understood why she couldn\u2019t wear her engagement ring, but he really wanted to give Angelina something special and more understated to wear instead.<\/p>\n

Now, that\u2019s romantic!<\/p>\n

Ange herself remained tight-lipped about the ring \u2013 and details of her upcoming nuptials.<\/p>\n

When asked by a reporter if she was wearing a wedding ring, Angelina\u2019s simple reply was “No, it’s not.”<\/p>\n

What do you think?
