Be honest.
Do you regret it?

~$12k. No regrets at all. Did 12 months no interest. By time I had to start paying on it we had combined bank accounts. Her savings was much higher than mine. She essentially paid for her own ring.

Seaweed, why would you wanna get married anyways?
Seaweed, did you know, that if you don't sign a prenup, you're in deep shyt?
Seaweed, do you think, that Raptors might not beat the Wizards?
Seaweed, did you know, that every kiss begins with Kay?

1) More money; would invite SBR
2) A survey shows that 20% of men kiss their wife goodbye when they leave the house and 80% kiss their house goodbye when they leave their wife
3) Yes
4) Are you a promoter?

Ahhhhhhhhhh... NO.
Women want to upgrade their diamonds every 6 or 7 years.
Newguy will this kind of speech... "Uh, honey, darling, you know how much I love you and my ring is sooooo cute. But I saw one at JewSteins Jewelers the other day and, you know, I just LOVE IT. If I could get that ring I'd just have you on my mind every minute of every day. You know, because I believe it's really important to renew our marriage commitments from time to time. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Absolutely regret. 90% of the time only wears the wedding band now for daily life. The rock is mainly for them to show off to friends but then it gets put away until certain occasions.

I tried to convince her of that before I bought it. Upgrade later in life - she said no - the ring you buy me will be the ring I want to wear my whole life - it represents blah blah blah. I saved e-mail. Only way we upgrade is if she loses it and insurance buys us a new one.

Seaweed I think it's time for you to accept the fact that you will be forever alone...making threads here about imaginary friends that you don't have and their picks
There is nothing wrong with that - some people can jump only so high in life

Damn I hope you guys who paid high 4 and 5 figs got some big rocks. In any decent sized town there is a jewelery district with wholesalers that will give you way better prices than retail.
Luckily for me LA has a huge diamond district and I know a Lebanese guy who cuts great deals. Got a 2c stone surrounded by 1c of small stuff on a platinum band for $3300 and since 2 bands are the new thing (of course, f'n women think one band isn't enough) got 2 1c platinum bands for $2.2k.
Infinitely more lucky for me is that I decided to ask her early 2011 and withdrew about 75% of my roll from full tilt poker to cover the ring and other wedding crap. We all know how that story ended with FTP.
