if u arent dropping at least 10k on a ring, u arent ready to get married.


and granted money isnt a symbol of love, but its a sign that maybe you should focus on a career (since u are jsut graduating) and focus on other aspects of your life. 1.5 years with someone is NOTHING compared to the amount of time you "plan" on spending with her.

10K? Really? Wow.

I feel differently. If he really is in love with her and committed to spend the rest of his life with her and she the same to him then he should get married, why not? They can work through the struggles of life together.

To OP: Its a beautiful thing brother, wish you the very best.

if he's in love and commited, he doesnt need a piece of paper telling him that. At this point i realize i might sound bitter, so no i've never been married. i am just strongly against marriage and the divorce rate alone backs me up. Digging deeper at the issue, we are mammals we werent built to get along for extended periods of time. If someone is gonna make the plunge, it shouldn't be freshly out of college or 1.5 years into a relationship.

ps i've listened to love line for too long to be challenged!! jk just feeling fiesty.

[MrTrik]

I feel sorry for you.

why cause i am not married or have high standards of what a marriage should be?

I proposed on a cliff in Big Sur, our favorite place, at Sunset, just her and me. Do something that's special to the two of you - if you're both avid hikers or bowlers or golfers or something, work that in.

I have a friend in the diamond business. You start by selecting the cut you like: round, emeral, marquis, etc. I went with Princess cut, which is square. Just my preference, and you get more for your money b/c less of the diamond is lost in the cutting process compared to some of the other cuts. From there, color, clarity, and carats are determined by your budget. $2000 is not a lot, but if that's all you can afford, don't get hung up on it. If she's the kind of girl who'll give you grief over how big the diamond is, don't do it.

It's much more romantic if she doesn't know you're doing this. Does she wear jewelry? Is it simple or complicated? Also, you can get her a solitaire (only the main rock) and augment it later when she's involved and you've got more cash - which she won't want to do anyway, because the ring you gave her is "special".

If possible, talk to a private jeweler you trust and avoid stores like Tiffany, etc. Again, more for your money.
