Now decide on a presentation.
I pulled a fast one on my wife. Christmass morning I started acting all befuddled and sheepish trying to explain how I had a realy hard time finding her something nice.
Just as she gave the sympathetic head tilt I sprung the ring on her and offfered her my hand in marriage.
That got the waterworks flowing.[/quote]
Wow.
Just wow. Even I’m tearing up after reading this. Well done to you, good sir.

Who says anything about debt if you have the cash for it?
I’m thinking $2k or so would buy a decent ring (not from a mall store that is), any more and I’d probably be thinking how it could have went to better use (down payment on a house or car)
Perfect.

That kind of reminds me of how my friend proposed to his wife. We were all hanging out together on Christmas Eve and he announces to the room, “I really don’t want to be your boyfriend anymore!”
The room goes dead silent. Everyone who wasn’t in on it has this look on their face like, “Oh shit!”.
He lets about a minute pass before he then says, “Nah, I think I’d just rather be your husband.”

I’ve got a ways to go, but the relationship is moving in that direction.
Curious as to what others have spent, or what would you spend on a ring?
I’ve been engaged before (in college so I could only afford an $800 ring, which was a waste of money obviously).
I know the standard is 3 months salary, but that’s a lot of fricken money for a ring (and I don’t even make a ton of money).
Also, would you buy from a jeweler like (Kay’s, Shaws, etc.) or one of those discount ones that are like direct from the seller?

Get a cubic zirconium or some other “fake” one of the like. There are many options out there. Cost you only one or two hundred for the nice one. Nobody will ever know the difference. Plus no need for insurance.
The “3 month’s salary” thing is B.S. and made up by the diamond sellers. Of course if you have a shallow soon to be wife she may be miffed at at anything other than a diamond so discuss those things beforehand.

telling her right away pretty much solves this.

I thought it went against the rules of being a man to tell the truth to a woman?
Or is that rules of douchebaggery? I don’t know.

Or if she starts crying and runs away immediately.
So much for your precious comedic timing.
