so yeah, I dropped the question and she said yes. The biggest problem is I don't have a ring yet, so I'm on the hunt for something affordable. I told her she can get me a titanium/silver band, I could care less about the ring bullshit, but I know she's expecting something nice on her end.

any ideas? I know one of you divorced nogs have one laying around

also, we decided to do a budget wedding at the beach.. we are saving more money for the honey moon, which seems selfish yet reasonable.

Buy used.. I paid $4300 for a ring for a girl I was gonna marry.

2 years later I got about 10% for it.. jewelry markup is nuts.

either that or dig up dead bodies.

look at estate auctions , skip places in the mall.

Become friends with either a jeweler or a investment casting foundry guy. ;D

Pawn shops can be your friend. :yes:

Call her grandma and tell her your GF has always talked about how she wanted to use her grandmothers ring to get married with... Free.99!

Or don't be a cheap steamy bag of faggot and get her something she deserves. If she's good enough to marry, she is good enough to drop $5k or more on. Yes I'm married, yes I spent more than that. Yes she is certainly worth it.

I don't think I could trust one enough to marry it.

fuck the "2 months salary" bullshit. its complete nonsense to spend a shitload on a ring. spend what you think is adequate and go somewhere nice on your honeymoon

Something she deserves? That's a terrible mindset. Most chicks already have an unfounded sense of entitlement.

Dave married a girl who was way to hot for him. He forgets the real world exists sometimes.

My wife said she didn't give a fuck if it was a paper clip bent into the shape of a ring. She said its the meaning behind the ring. On that note, I had a ring from a ex that I spent 1200 on and never gave it to her. Just sat in my safe. I traded it in and they gave me 1200 for it

I then spent another 2k on top of that for a ring that was on sale from 3500 down to 2000

All in all it was a great deal for what I ended up with. 1ct center stone, colorless stone and a vvs1. Blah blah blah. Like said b4, if shes worth marring then shes worth dropping some coin on imo.

damn, now that i think of it, my wife handles the internet sales for a jewlery company. We get awesome discounts, but we are not bling bling type of people so we never get to take advantage.
You do not need to spend thousands of dollars. I know you love her and all, but 3,000 tops on your lowest rate credit card. There are better ways to spend your hard earned cash.

Robb · « **Reply #20 on:** October 26, 2009, 09:01:41 PM »

Get her what you can afford now. A few years down the road she's gonna want a nicer one anyway. Ask me how I know lol.

Its not like you're surprising her she already said yes. Take her with you she may surprise you, mine picked out a nice ring and when I grabbed a bigger rock with a better clarity she said the smaller one she picked looked better on her finger (cheaper hell yeah but the setting does make it shine)

Jewelry store lines of credit will give you 0 interest for x months just make sure you pay it off in that time. They usually accumulate that interest at a high rate to tack on if you don't pay it off. (Common knowledge I guess but I was clueless I always paid cash or visa for shit)

Last my sister gave me a small rock in a gold band I can see what she would want for it. dude moved away and I never used it. She doesn't want to advertise she ever had it so she wouldn't let me return it.

Good luck er congrats

Why spend 3000$ on a ring when you can get 3 CRX at that price???

Thats what I told my wife, and she said "we already have 3 crx's in our yard"

I spent way to much on my wifes ring, we went to various places and checked them out. And sure is shit she liked the most expensive one. But she got it, and she loves it.

SSautochrome needs to make sick wedding rings.
