How much you dropping for that engagement ring?

[omariwestafari]

Interesting feedback, different strokes for different folks I guess. I proposed 6/13, got married 6/14. The engagement ring was 10k, I honestly couldn't imagine spending less than that. I wanted her to love her ring and for the stone to have good quality. The wedding was 25k, and instead of a honeymoon we focused on buying a home and purchased 9/14.

[highrep87]

Your wedding is probably going to be even more expensive

[youngwolf]

Are lab created diamond considered real?

No.

but still I feel like it obvious all those diamonds at jareds cant be real

Please don't think of diamonds as a scarce material. And also, not all diamonds are equal.

i've been eyeing the tiffany novo for YEARS, but with the price tag, it's not practical at all. 

 i'm not much of a bling bling person anyways.

PLUS, i'd rather spend the saved money on a house, an unforgettable vacay, or on my babies.

imo my family's future is more important than a rock on my finger. i'm after the marriage, not the ring.

Before I proposed I had a long conversation with my with Wife on engagement rings.
I wanted to go full blast but she just wanted something simple instead.
"Big rings to me are signs of insecurities in a relationship. I whether have that money spent on a trip or a down payment on a house," she said. So I just proposed to her with a platinum onyx band which is her wedding ring(I have the same). We went to Japan last year and have a home now. She's happy, that's pretty much all that matters. Bought a big ring for my ex, ish didn't work out and never got the true value back for that ring.
SMH.

I will bet $100 that your wife smells lovely.

Woman that smell good >>> *

Breaded up shorty.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say

3 months of your salary >>> 23k...


So 23k to one man is smaller compared to 23k to another man

Flourish

 

[al audi]

im not droppin madd money on a wedding, i dont even wear rings either...her ring can be nice but i dont even want a nice ring, im an active guy ill prob lose it or mess it up at the gym i dunno

i skipped prom in HS by choice also junior and senior, i thought it was a total waste of money even at that young age


i understand its a big deal for a lot of women so im gona have to compromise some............1 or 2 chicks i talked about marriage srs about thank god think its overrated though

honestly rather use that money for home expenses or car etc, whatever

married on a island etc, all cool i guess..(personally id be fine at a local church or hall)..i know more than a few ppl who did they vegas marriage, wont lie they are both very financially savvy couples too but neither of them want children either go figure.....

cheap or diff mindset i dunno

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

Once you and your partner discuss and reach some sort of balance it all works out. You set a budget and everything else falls in line. I know couples that werw able to get their wedding sponsored, get free food, cakes, etc. There are many ways to approach it. At the end of the day you pay for the experience, whats supposed to be the first/last time you are doing this, and a celebration with the closest of friends and family.

lol i'm 6 months married and my ring is looking a little thrashed already and i usually take it off when i lift.

we're buying a new apartment today so i'm glad we were reasonable on the ring and ceremony. we have enough for the down and still can afford to send my son to one of the best daycare spots here. that's much more important to us.

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

Tungsten rings are great Mike, look into them, cost like $100, this way you can leave it on and hit the gym, work etc.

that ring! beautiful! 

 

[superantigen]

Just began the process of ring shopping. Went to a Michael's jeweler around my way and a 1 ct diamond (just the diamond) was 7.5K. Had me like...

Can I afford to drop 7.5k on a diamond. Sure. But I feel like I was raised smarter than that.... That's a few G's shy of an investment property. I guess it's on to the next one.



...

 

[$tacy]

7.5k for a stone... Damn. 4k max for the set for me, MAX. 12k for a ceremony, f all them people for real.

 

[datznasty]

Nah bruh. They say 3 months salary, I mak about 70 now, figure by the time I meet someone else and will be close to that point I'll be closer to 90 if Lord says the same so that's 27k. That's a new car money, college money for my daughter, down payment on a house, etc money

 

[adobecs4]

Whatever Groupon has on sale for 70% off.

 

[nawghtyhare]

my wifes ring and her bands cost a lil under 10k

 

[lobcity]

Dont continue to let society brainwash us to think diamonds=love.

Save that bread for future vacations and great experiences. Spend less than 1k and thats high to me

 

[slicknick951]

Got my wifes ring from bluenile Don't get anything from the zales, kays , etc of the world.

Didn't have a wedding we are using the money to buy real estate.

Brother had a really nice wedding in Jamaica but it wasn't important for us to have one.

Did you know that "they" were actually De Beers advertisements? Started at one month, then their next campaign, push it to two and then it was set at three. lol Don't fall for that garbage.

That's awesome. It's rare to find a woman like that.

Just another way society tries to shame men out of their money. Dumb rules that have no true grounds other than 'that's just the way it is'.

Some people are traditional. Don't blame society. It's still up to the man if he wants to do it. All my friends have bought engagement rings or are saving up for ones now. I only know one who spent a lot on one but he makes the most money out of all of them.

 

[360waves]

less than 1k. The woman i plan to marry would rather travel, shes smooth
