real life and women are always better than video games so forget about all the video games you could have gotten. Congratulations on the soon to be engaged status. xD

Good thing the brides parents usually pay for it. Oh and some people on here are really ridiculous. I hope half of the posters in this thread never plan on marrying. Because if you plan on it, good luck finding a partner that deals with your views. lol At any rate, some people ask what the girl gives a guy in return for a ring. Just a guess, but to most guys wh buy a ring and get married, love is enough.

 QFT... *Sigh...* =__='



^why the long face?



 

Congrats and I hope you have a long happy marriage. They are a lot of hard work I've been through 2 but hopefully you'll get it right first shot.



I hope things work out for the best....but....$1500 is way too much for a ring!

edit: I guess it really isn't that much, compared to etuoyo's 3500 pound ring...

Good luck I hope it goes well... Unlike other people *glares*, I'll wish you happyness, and it's worth it when you know you really love the person and that you know they love you equally.

Also about the thing they said about of what she gets you, that's just plain selffish and stupid. When you buy someone something, whatever it is you're not supposed to expect anything in return.

 Bingo. There's not a thing wrong with him dropping some big cash on the person he loves. As long as the guy isn't doing something irresponsible like getting his car repo'd to buy it, more power to him. It's symbolic, a tradition that one way or another goes back to cavemen, and it will be around long after cynicism over such things is no longer fashionable.

On that note, I dated my wife over 4 years before I popped the question. I got my divorce papers yesterday and officially have one failed marriage under my belt.  tokilamockingbrd, God bless, best of luck, and have fun storming the castle.




"I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself."

Congratulations! I just went through the same too last month (buying the ring).



Jeez, I paid $500 for my wifes ring and she told me I spent too much.

I love my wife.



I have an N-Gage... and still play it.

Wait till you see how much the wedding costs...

The bride's fam covers that ...

Your statement should read 'Wait till you see how much the marriage, the mortgage and the children cost ...'


Unfortunately, that's not always the case, there are many reasons why the bride's parents are unable or unwilling to pay, in which case the burden falls on you.
