I get that, but also, it's always seemed like the purpose of the ring is to signify the state of being, so engagement ring to show the state of being engaged, wedding ring shows the state of being married, or wed, I guess it works both ways

Not a strongly held view by any means 😆

Definitely 2023, they've changed the UI various times since 2017, that looks about the same as it does now
