      No but I plan on proposing for a second wedding next year with a much larger ring. We will get married in the church this time. We have been married 11 years now.
      We planned on getting married in the church last time but good old catholic church couldn't get their shlt together. Then they said we didn't need a few things like the marriage prep. It was q little disheartening. Anyway it's just a formality we both appreciate being catholic but far from a requirement.

      yeah but I bought my wife a $90 pawn shop ring when we first got together. She never complained, but I got her a davis sachs setting with diamonds you could see without an electron microscope.

      Question: why the hell do we feel compelled to spend so much $$$ on a ring? Why not use cubic zirconia? Cheap, looks as good as a real diamond but 1/20th the price, you cannot tell unless you are a jewler with a jeweler's equipment. So why? seems like a waste of $$$.

      Now I am ranting...........so take the $6-7,000 you would spend on a ring and $10-15K you would spend on a wedding and use it for either a baller honey moon or a down payment on a house?

      We married at the Justice of the peace.

      The size of the ring doesn't make a difference but yes a lot of gals like a biggie. Fuzo gave me mine 22 years ago and at first I said that was way to much but that is what he wanted to give me. Not planning on doing any changing to it.

      I pulled it off and gave my lady a MUCH better engagement ring. She always loved the original one but i wanted her to have an even better one. Half planned / Half Winging it. Totally caught her by surprise.

      KEEPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I always felt that having to have diamonds is very pretentious and materialistic. (My man, better get me a ring bigger than Janet's ring)

      It should be a symbol of commitment and love, not a status symbol as many people see it.

      I have a buddy that spent 20k on a ring for his first wife. I think the marriage lasted 5 years. I bet the 2nd wifes ring didn't cost 30% as much.

      I'm about to get engaged and I got her a 2 Karet yellow diamond, princess cut, in 24 caret white gold. $16,500. She is cool ss shit and would have been happy with a 2,000$ ring. But I'm 47, never been married,never thought I would, and to me she's just the most important person in the world. So,I want her to remember that everytime she sees that ring on het finger.
