If she is pressuring you, i wouldn't do it under the pressure. Get marreid when you are ready.
As for asking her father, it depends on the father. My wife's dad is mostly Syrian so yeah I asked him so I could stay alive... partly joking but culturally it needed. That was a standard back in the day but most of the time it doesn't happen.

You could try the NuvaRing®. It's less expensive and very very functional.

I used to tell her that I was holding out until I won the lottery and when space tourism was happening so we could be the first couple married in orbit.

The ring I got a very simple ring but a 1 karat. I got it for 3,200 from a family jeweler. I saw it and knew it was the one. Its makes sense to save money on other things because how big the ring is doesn't really matter. Fuck what someone else says, if your girl likes thats all that matters. Talk with her about it. Oh yeah, about honeymoons, go a week or two after your wedding, its way better.

I hate the fear of it being small, or perceived as small by materialistic and superficial people. We don't know many people like that but there's always one, you know?

Just tell people:
"She got the ring, I was so nervous and sweaty that all I got was ring around the collar!"
LOL

FUCK what other people think or say about the ring. As long as the diamond is set in a nice ring then it will look great, and she will love it. I spent $5000 on the ring I got but only because I got a huge chunk of unexpected cash. She would have been just as happy with a ring that cost less, so now I regret it.

I really like talking with you all about this. :)
It's been on my mind so much lately.
Just need to finish saving my $$. I'm kicking myself for not saving money better over the past two years like I'd planned.

Has she literally been pressuring you, or does it just feel that way?
Like I said we've been together for 8 years. Lived together for 6.
Everyone we know is/has gotten married and started families.
I know that's not the best reasons but she wants babies before she gets any older. And that's f'n scary as hell to me and all I have to do is the fun part of it.Occasionally I want the Porsche and the chase of the 20 something's then other times I see her from across the room and realize how beautiful she is and how damn lucky I found her and why the hell is she waiting around for my slow ass.

Well then get married then, I got married younger at 23, and I was with my girl for 8 years prior, so if you feel its time then getter done.

my gf talks about her friends rings and all that. her co-worker just got engaged and got 2carats ring.
she thinks spending 10k on the engagement/wedding ring is not a big deal...
i am fucked. but since i have worked for a really prestigious jewelry company, i kinda see women's point of view.

p.s.
i am only fucked if i end up marrying her. she's an amazing girl though.

I met her when she was 23! It's so funny to think I was slepping with a 23 year old at one time. ( I guess i was only 25 but it still makes me hot to think about)

It was at a gig called Manchester v cancer

It was the Smiths lineup without Morrisey. Frankly Jonny Marr singing the songs was good enough for me.

hmm...yeah i was in that range too mg, but decided to go a little extra...her ring is .887 something karats...not bad, when you go to the jeweler, if they aren't scammers they will help you out and lead you in the right direction...just tell them your range.

hide it up your ass, say "I've got something for you, just stick your finger here" and she'll swoon
