Those %10 or 2 months figures are crap. I guess I got lucky. The ring my gal wanted eventually they discontinued the setting so I got the ring for the cost of the stone. $980 for a $1800 ring. She should love whatever you give her, if you give her a 3/4 carrot in the cut and setting she likes and she bitches cause its not a full carrot she obviously doesnt love you if she cars that much about the ring.

Buy what you can afford.

I'd say get far far away from her.


SUUUUUUCKEEEERR. lol. What's with this two ring bullshit anyway? I told my wife she gets one ring, and one ring only. If the ring is the representation of the marriage, than WTF is the second one for? Because everyone else gets two? Yeah, homey don't play that. :1

I think I was looking at the $1500 range, but her dad said my life would be easier if I spent at least $2500, so I did. My ring is the cheapest one I could find at $400. Weld splatter sticks to it for months at a time and adds character. :P

the engagement ring she had 3 years before we got married so i bought her a new one for the wedding.. i shouldnt have but i was feeling nice at the time (as i kick myself in the *** right now) i know im not the only stupid ---- on here that has bought 2 rings either because she asked or just felt like it...

well i bought my wife a promise ring... then a crappy silver band for her engagement(cause thats all military pay can afford while in AIT) but i bought her an engagement ring that was about a months pay... 1200 (still in the military E-2)

But i never did it by some sort of gage as to how much i should use... i just bought what i thought looked nice with the amount of money i had... cause unless shes a hooters chick money shouldnt matter...

but if she a fucken model and she the best thing you will probably ever get ... spend spend spend... if not ---- it you can always buy a hooker with the extra cash you dont spend

Before you ask yourself how much you should spend, ask yourself if you really want to get married. If you decide you want to get married, you should be able to give three reasons why marriage will be a benefit to you. Benefits that you cannot get without marriage. If you can't do that, then don't waste your money on a ring, and don't waste your money on a marriage. If you can come up with three reasons, then good for you. Spend as much as needed, so you feel good about it, not her, you. If you feel good about it, and it doesn't make her happy, then you probably need to get rid of her.

Yeah she makes me happy, see I use to date alot of women.. and even though I learned alot from dated dumb bitches i'm ashamed of it, I was able to get pretty good looking girls though.. that liked to ----.. but they had NO brains, jobs, or 5 year plans. And those were the kinds that I would get in heated arguments with.. So like 2 years ago I saw an old "friend" of mine from high school and I knew she was a good girl, but she wasn't as hot or wild as other girls i'd been with.. I remembered she graduated like top 10, she was very intelligent and she told me she was in college to be a teacher, so I asked her on a date and we've been together ever since. I can think of alot of reasons to marry her. 1. She's good to me, treats me right 2. her grandfather is a multimillionaire who owns a quarry and is 80 yrs old..lol and 3. When she teaches I can get health insurance under her. So I guess basically I had to kind of give up on the hot *** beautiful blonde thing for someone of some intelligence and down to earth.
