buying the wrong ring?

[Popeye the Sailor]

That is bullshit, dude.



A marriage is not about a ring. It isn't about a diamond. It isn't about how big the ring is or how much it costs.

If that is the definition of marriage to someone, then they should re-think the process and commitment.

If you are basing a marriage on a ring, chances are the marriage won't last very long.

+11ty billion. It's not about the rings. As far as cheap?

My skipping the "three months salary" crap and us skipping the huge wedding enabled us to make an offer on our house within a week of getting hitched.


Priorities.

While I agree, to a point, I would also point out that a wedding ring is (should be) a symbol.  How much value you place on that symbol is an individual thing. 

Yes, it is a symbol but not sure spending 1,000$ or 20,000$ would be anymore symbolic.

[Statler]

I believe that's why he said how much value is placed on that symbol is an individual thing.

We of course look at this from our own perspective and our experiences with the significant other in our lives....but certainly we all know couples who get along fabulaously and are likely happy for a long time but who individually would drive us crazy in a relationship.     A friend from law school was big on the giant rock engagement ring thing.   Her husband was too...happy couple.

Just have to find someone whose craziness lines up with your own.

is that what you told her? (just busting balls bro)
I hear ya of course marrige itself is not about the but sir dont think for a second that THAT RING isnt something to her. it is. just like when we show off our bikes and cars to our friends and we name our bikes and wash the bike everyday, they feel teh same way about that ring, of course it doesnt have to be a 100,000 ring im not saying that, but at the same time to give a girla cheap piece of silver if you work for a living to me is bull, to each is own and i cant point fingers but personally my girls gonna get a ROCK why? because she deserves it thats why. now on the other hand if i was outta work thats a different story, anything would do but sir if your making money and riding ducatis buying a cheap ring dont fly, theyll tell you its ok but TRUUUUUUSSSS UUUSSST me.. its not.

plus im albanian and my girls israeli... imagine that wedding... whoa!

I guess that answers Statler's question.

There are exceptions.  Every girl is different, of course.

I didn't buy my wife a cheap ring, but I didn't spend 3 months salary on it either.

Wow.....yeah.....that will be one hell of a bash. 

[That Nice Guy Beck!]

you really don't get it.

I get it I do, but women are crazy when it comes to weddings thats all im saying.

[the_Journeyman]

I didn't buy my wife a cheap ring, but I didn't spend 3 months salary on it either.

This worked for me    It was pretty, unique style that was manufactured for less than a year so it's not likely she'll encounter another bride-to-be flashing the same ring either.  Didn't even kill off an entire month's take-home pay and I'm far from being a Rockefeller ~

My wife actually found her ring while at Nick (motogpfan) and Suzy (Honeydude's) jewelery shop.

I think they got it in an estate sale. It was an antique setting that was lacking a center stone.

Suzy held on to it, tipped me off Tiffany loved it and then we got a stone for it.

As what Statler said:


All women are different.

I have seen plenty of friends have their girlfriend drop all these hints for huge expensive diamonds and a big ass wedding.

The guy would buy the ring.



I've also seen the exact opposite.

Small, non-expensive ring and a family wedding.




bottom line is:

WHO CARES?

If it is not you in that situation, then I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Right, but if you DO buy your girl a real simple, plain ring, and she is one of those 'gotta-have-a-rock-or-i'll-die' girls, please share the drama.  We love that shit.

Now that is true 


My brother's college roommate had a girlfriend like that.

This broad actually had the nerve to go register at a jewelery stores in Indianapolis (The shane company).

They had on file her ring size, stone likes, clarity likes, size, type of setting, the material, etc.


So then she started dropping hints to him and giving him the information.

He dumped her ass
