This Sucks

WW...... Dude trust me, if she is pressuring you into giving her a ring and getting married, ex: "I want a ring, I want to get married".... she is probably more interesterd in the idea of marriage and the monetary value of "a ring". She is probably in her early 20's and all of her friends are starting to get married and she might start feeling left out. IMO if she truly loves you and not loves the idea of marriage, she will understand.

If the two of you are "truly in love"...... go to the local City Hall and get married..... My first marriage cost a ton of money (Father-in-law paid), I mean a ton of money.... that wedding lasted 4 yrs. My second marriage was to my current wife . We both swore we weren't gonna get married ever again. I gave her a small ring after about 1 yr together, got married 1 yr later, spent LESS THAN $5,000 for the wedding (I have a big family)..... we will be married forever, she is great !!

Yeah I agree with BC. I think my wife and I spent about the same amount on our wedding. Small little ceremony with only our parents, her grandparents, and my brother and sister in law. If she really wants to be married, take a trip to Vegas and get married at "The Little White Wedding Chappel", and spend the rest of your cash at the slots or tables . Would make for a lot of conversation in the future.

We were in Vegas last year and I recomended that, but she pussed out.

Another thing I would like to mention is that there's not a question of if I'm going to mary this woman, that's already been decided. The problem here I guess is just how to go about doing it.

And why would that be? No Ca-Ching...

...besides, Vegas is where the bachelor party is going down. We've got it all figured out. My friends are literally going to "kidnap" me from right in front of her, making it look like I have no choice. Then we're headed to the airport, and one of my buddies might give her a call and inform her of the situation, that it was all their doing, etc, etc. And then, well you know the rest

I'd go with Cinda's advice, a nice inexpensive engagement ring for now. Then get married later, after you are on your feet financially, and then buy her a very nice wedding ring.

Hehehe...

My parents got engaged while my father was in the service and my mother was in college. So they were redefining poor.

One day my mother was sweeping some crumbs off the table and realized that one of them was sparkly. Turns out the stone had fallen out of her engagement ring and it was so small, she didn't even see it!

The stone didn't matter, the man did.
