Engagement rings
OK, don't anyone get the wrong idea here, but I have been looking at engagement rings recently and am wondering what the cost should be....

I remember in the olden days that it was considered right to spend a months wages on one. Now I'm a Yorkshireman and that sounds like a lot to me....

So go on let's see what you lot think.

Also am I just wrong to even be considering cost? It sounds a bit tight, but how can you spend a months wage on something and not consider the cost?

Sitting here waiting to be called names by all of the ladies....

Andy

Thumbs up
When I bought Josie's engagement Ring I didn't have a salary as I was a Student (living it up, being a kept man, drinking and skipping lectures). I think the usual is one month salary. Just lie to your self about how much you earn. When you go out set yourself a budget and don't be tempted to break it. When we looked, the shop assistants kept bringing more and more expenive rings, jumping up in £200 increments!! I just kept saying, "I've got XXX to spennd, take those back!

(When I say we chose the ring, She did. I thought if she has to wear it, she should have some imput)

Mention that you think large diamonds are a vulgar display of wealth and save money for the honeymoon.
It worked for me.

No engagement ring for Mrs. NickB

But, as we met & married within the same month, there was barely enough time to get the wedding ring.

Also, does anyone know wehat happens if (a) the girl says no; or (b) the ring doesn't fit?

Are shops happy to take back unwanted rings and offer a refund and/or change the size of the ring?

Just interested....

Ok, this is going to sound awful, but....

just for a joke as we walked past a pawn shop, I said lets look in here...
and just for a laugh she did.... and fell in love with a white gold diamond jobbie at less than 100 notes!

Hey Luck favours the brave!

Cheers, Paul

PS its the things which follow that usually cost you, marriage, houses, children, etc etc etc
