In my circumstances, myself and my partner have spoken a lot about getting married. We've been together for a long time and I feel it's time we took the next step. He completely agrees and told me that he has, for a long time wanted to propose but he never has because he can't afford the ring! He thinks that he needs to spend 2-3 months salary on it. That would be £3000+ for him. Crazy!
Every woman wants to be spoiled, but you can spoil a woman and not spend a penny. It's always the little things that count, especially original little things!
I have said to my partner many times that I would not mind if he bought me something cheaper (say £500 instead of £3000! - but if he bought me a CZ ring I would dump him because that's just a little too cheap! lol!), because to me it is more important to be married to the man I love instead of having an expensive ring that I would probably be too scared to wear. He doesn't listen to me though. Maybe he feels he has something to prove - but instead he is neglecting what I really feel. I think the money would be better spent on the actual wedding since they can be quite pricy.
None of my friends would care in the slightest if I had an expensive ring. Nor would they care if there were diamonds or not.
I just wish I could make my partner wake up and realise whats more important.
dominick, at the end of the day the ring is just a material object that realistically holds no meaning. What's important is how you feel about each other and that you want to always be together.
