If you want a guy to waste money on you, then your wasting money as well, at least if you plan on sharing expenses etc. It's not a way to start any kind of life together. If he's rich, that is one thing, but if you are working for a living, use the money to make a better life, have security, save for your childs education (if you will have one) etc. Rings resale value is about the worst in the world. In fact, best bet is to buy a used ring tbh cause they are seriously cheap. You can often get them for the price of gold per pound (Even with diamonds in them if they are not large). That is less then 1/20th of the cost of the ring from a store. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!

I'm not actually really familiar with most ring traditions. You need a different ring for engagement and for marriage? And three months salary, wtf? I can't imagine myself spending more than 1k on a ring but I have no idea what kind of quality that would get me. I do understand wanting to spend a lot though, as it's something that will have a lot of sentimental value and you'll be wearing for a long time.

Zeus posted... They're both "forever" -- barring divorce or death (thanks, Trump!) -- but the wedding band tends to be a lot cheaper since it doesn't have a stone. And they're also both "traditions" which are more symbolic than anything else. The only practical benefit is that it discourages some men from hitting on your woman (not all of them, mind you. Biden, Trump, Clinton, etc, being noteworthy exceptions.) An engagement ring is for proposal to wedding, after it's a pretty trinket, it's fine to sell that off if times get tough as it doesn't hold current value. All issues are sentimental. A wedding ring is from wedding til death/divorce as you said. It is given to be worn for the duration of the relationship and is representative of the relationship from now on. If you sold/lost your wedding ring it would have implications to the state of your relationship currently. It has real world present symbology so the care put in to the choice of ring is far more significant. idk, most women seem to wear both their engagement ring and their wedding band.

SushiSquid 06/19/17 10:52:41 PM #76:	PK_Spam posted... While we're at it, can we talk about how grossly overpriced weddings are? I know a guy who owns a flower boutique, and he once told me that "wedding flowers" and regular flowers are exactly the same, but he jacks up the price of the former almost 4 times that of the latter because people don't know or just want to feel special. My wife made synthetic flowers (yes she made them) for our wedding. Bridesmaids' bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. It saved a lot and they looked great. We had an outdoor wedding at a county park and her cousin and his wife officiated. Weddings are expensive, but you can find all sorts of savings if you plan and do stuff yourself. Including our honeymoon we spent just under $10k, and our parents helped with a few thousand of that. <cite>SushiSquid posted [p:881444628] in would you ...
