I don't believe in spending thousands of dollars for an engagement ring or a wedding ring. In fact I didn't even spend a dime for it. I'm married and my wife never had an engagement ring (she might not have been too happy about that, but that's how it went 12 years ago).
I believe that you don't need to prove your love to her by spending a shit load of money. Yes, it's a symbolic thing, but it has become such a commercialize thing that it has lost its real meaning.
"Oh he bought me a ring, that means that he is really serious and he loves me!!". BULLSHIT!! With or without the ring he would love her the same way!I do believe however that the wedding ring is what officially represent the union between a couple. So to me it's more important. We have a very nice Tiffany silver band, that we both like and wear all the time.
My two little cents.

yea i don't believe you have to spend a lot it should just have character and mean something, honestly if you don't think you can pick the perfect one out make something and then go buy one together i don't see anything wrong with that.
antiques are cool too.
- my girl and i picked hers out together. she adores it, and it wasn't that expensive relatively speaking7point34

on top of the ring, there's also the expense of teh wedding. there's renting a dress, the banquet, honeymoon, limo ride, dj, photographer, videographer. the average cost of a wedding is about 20k i believe.

personally, i'd get my girl at least 1.5 carats because i want her to be happy

marriage. lol.
that's the real problem in the first place, requiring a contract to love each other.
then expensive rings and bullshit generic-ass wedding on top...
so you start out your new exciting life with each other broke. then you have kids and get even more broke. then blame it on each other and divorce.

With out a marriage as a contract, it is hard for someone to receive benefits financialy. A US Diplomat who is gay, his partner can not get spouse protective service because he is not married. When you die, you can not leave everything to your partner.
Its not about contract to love, you need to be in love in the first place.
- It is called a will. I could leave everything to my dog if I wanted to.DrBombay
- Insurance is another storyDrBombay

- Actuall you cant.********
- follow the link.DrBombay
- Maybe in Canada that is how it is, Dinky.DrBombay
- And for you think that, it actually happened, I dont know what else to tell you.********
- In Canada, you live with someone for 12 months, you are considered pretty much married********
- individual Will differs from state to state. State / judge rule superseeds individual will.********
- Look in to whats happening with MJ's will.********
- Then check your state law...DrBombay
- A will is to leave money and property to who you like. What is the purpose of it?DrBombay
- Not always about money / property. It could be about burden of legal obligation (guardianship of minors)********
- As a gay couple or unmarried couple, even with a will, you fall in to cracks of gray area where will can easily be contested.********
- contested and no bearing on receivership in execution of the will.********
- In certain states, with out a will, even with being married, the state takes control of the estate.********
- That is an entirely different thing you are talking about. Did you buy your gay lover an engagement ring?DrBombay
- What state would that be?DrBombay
- But legal obligation goes to the survivor, meaning debts. Properties / cash can go to state.********
- Go back to webmastering, if you cant hold an adult conversation. Not just googling for arguement.********
- Its even more sad that you are a webmastering for a legal journal. tisk tisk. learn nothing.********
- Dude, you're canadian! We were already talking about wills you stupid dick.DrBombay
- You run your mouth like you know what you are talking about and you don't, design some bank statements...DrBombay
- Yeah that made sense. Learn logic before talking.********
- Tisk tisk, gets cornered and comes with personal attacks. How insecure are you?********
- Seriously. I mean do you feel that you need to be more creative but you got a shit job as a webmaster for a paper?********
- We were talking about wills, then you switched it back to some convo about no will. And I am illogical?DrBombay
- I do not define myself by my job, why does it always come back to this? You make it about this shit.DrBombay
- You lose an argument and go back to the same broken fucking record. Dinky you are a moron.DrBombay
- And who is a webmaster? I was called that like 8 years ago, when you lived in Canada.DrBombay
- Now you are an expert in American law. MrDinky - Law Expert, Stock Broker, CuntfaceDrBombay
- I think you should stick to being a master of the web rather than a legal scholar.********
- How very american of you.********
- And I am the one making it personal...DrBombay
- Sorry i was just giggling. You admit being a webmaster hehe. :D********
- Are you done yet because I gotta go pee.********
- You were incorrect about wills. The rest is just you being a twat.DrBombay
- I admit things that are true, that was a common title 8 years ago when you were collecting stuffed animals in canada.DrBombay
- Right....... how I stated that its different from state to state, where you were saying its a blanket********
- legally binding document.********
- No point in arguing anymore. You are fucking wrong.DrBombay
- HEY DONT BE DISSNIG MA PIKACHUS !!!********
- I was the benefactor of a will in my state from a will filed in California. And another time from Virginia.DrBombay
- So you are done? Cause I really gotta pee.********
- What else do you need to know?DrBombay
- And that makes you an expert. Like getting a mortage to be a mortgage expert. Awesome. Welcome to America.********
- And you accuse me of being immature... You are a really petty individual.DrBombay
- Ok I gotta pee. BRB. DONT GO AWAY!!********
- Care to explain to me where I am wrong then? Use specific states as examples.DrBombay
- At least I dont use words like dick or cuntface. Awesome. Are you training to be lawyer? Because that would be awesome at a hearing********
- be awesome at a hearing********
- Ok I will be back. I REALLY GOTTA PEE. Sorry.********
- Come to the argument thread!********
- So I'm not wrong then, but you obfuscate with bullshit anyway.DrBombay
