Back in my day it used to be 2x monthly salary here. I certainly wouldn't want to pay 3x my current on one. So much better things it could go for. A big aquarium or a new computer.

I wasn't aware that the rings had to be within a certain price range.I guess the jewelers came up with that.
That's stupid! Why on earth would anyone spend all that money on an engagement ring!? Hell, at least make the actual wedding ring the fancy one so that if you drop it, it just rolls along the floor of the cathedral and can be easily retrieved!
I wouldn't be brave enough to wear a $3000 ring in case I lost it! Imagine that conversation "hey honey, I accidentally lost my $3000 engagement ring..." "YOU DONE WHAT?!" lol
I didn't know this either. I was under the assumption that as long as she liked the ring it didn't matter how much it cost. Personally I think most of the $150 rings look better than the $3000 rings for the most part anyway.
I'm sitting on my front porch and I just sprayed a mist of iced tea out of my mouth after reading this.
bah, been married twice, and they got what I got them. they not marring a ring, they marring me. first marriage was 14 years then took a dump. Still married to second 20 years and going strong. Been to quite a few expensive wedding, with expensive rings, that took a dump after 3 or 5 years.

I remember seeing somewhere that those having expensive lavish weddings have a higher chance of divorce than those with more budget weddings
That's a keeper. My wife is the same. She doesn't even want flowers. She says a $40 dozen roses is a waste. Better off taking her to dinner or something she can use
My rings and wedding were budget. Luckily my wife's church really helped us out. The ladies in her church cooked all the food for a $100 fee and they rented out the nice service room for $100 to have the ceremony. We had the reception in their gym at no extra cost, they helped us decorate it too. It was a humble wedding but pretty awesome. Im sentimental person and it means the world to me that my friends and family were there. We also got over 7 grand in cash plus gifts from guests. It was pretty cool
