Rings are dumb. Don't fall into the BS of starting a life together in debt just because jewelry stores tell you it's romantic. It's not.
Women don't need million dollar rings to be happy, they need someone that loves and appreciates them for all the little things they do every day. Put them and their happiness above yours and always remember to show them how happy you are to be with them. That's what you start a successful life together with. Not 3 months salary in the hole.
Besides most women will lose the first rings they get at some point and more than half of marriages end in divorce so we should really get away from this BS "tradition" of expensive engagement rings. /rant off
I completely agree. My wife's and my rings were about 225 each. Hers is personalized with our first names on either side. Far better than any flashy ring, and that's her opinion.
That is such a nice thing to do, it's lovely. In contrast, I once lost my Pokémon LeafGreen game in Malta and my cousin deleted all her data on her FireRed game and gave it to me instead, which was nice until she blackmailed me to buy her sweets because she 'gave me a game'.
I like to imagine them both as like complete beautiful humans and just sitting next to each other with that double chin thing that we all get when we play video games and screaming at their DSes and angrily hitting the little buttons lol
