I bought the ring in Dubai when I was on my last deployment. Same ring in the states would have hit me for 15K....

Thanks everyone for the help and insight. Will take everything into consideration and will come back with other questions I am sure.

Anything really. Personalized flasks, lighters, cuff links, etc. You don't have to go over the top with it if you don't want to. Plenty of ideas on the google.

Lots of my classmates in med school were married and a few even had kids during med school.
It's tough but it's doable. Just know her hours are going to be crazy at times and there are going to be days where everything you do is wrong
All the marriages in my class survived med school. A few serious relationships didn't but they were all LDRs

So I'm not the only one
Met my chick on Tinder in late June and it's already to the point where I'll be shocked if I don't marry her

When is too young to propose, or for that the right age to propose.
Just a random question.

No age. Just when you're ready
I have friends who got married when they were in the early 20s and still going strong 10 years later
My brother just got married last month and he's 37

Don't go into debt over an engagement ring. If your girl has her heart set on something, she can help pay it too.
My wife's ring was $2850. My sister gave me $1000 a month and a half earlier for an abortion, but we ended up not going through and spending that money on the ring.
6 years later, we have 2 beautiful daughters, decent home, careers, etc.

I got all my guys personalized morphers with their names (for fun), cohiba's, custom cuffs (some got sports teams, some got comic related ones), and a bottle of Henny White. Honestly, a simple flask and a cigar would've probably sufficed, but I knew I went a bit overboard but whatever

So you swindled your sister out of $1000? That's grimy.

When I was a groomsmen I received a money clip with my initials in it. Pretty cool gift IMO.

I got my groomsmen flask & cigars. I spent about 15k on my wedding. Honeymoon we went to Cabo which we had a ball. Also, I would say get married when you ready I got married at 32. Personally for me anything before 28 I wouldn't consider. Here's a few pics from honeymoon & wedding

I don't want to go into debt but it seems like the logical thing since I can't save money for the life of me. To save even $10K in a year would be really hard and the sad thing is I could totally do it but I'd have to cut back really hard on spending, which is impossible for in SF. She's not materialistic though but her friends are and those are the ones that sort of put a strange light with rings.

With the engagement ring, venue, wedding band, honeymoon, etc......the total will probably be little over 6K. We have 48 hours until the big day.

There's something (actually everything) about these over the top, elaborate proposals that I just hate. Seriously, I see nothing romantic about this (and neither should any sensible adult). It's just ridiculous. Obviously, it's none of my business, but I felt like I had to express my true hatred for these.
