Spending 10k on a rock? 
Most women have been planning their wedding day since they were kids. They don't care about the cost. It's about the ring, having everyone there, and taking pictures. Dudes are just another accessory.

Even if you have all that its still stupid to waste money on a worthless stone.

From what I understand, you buy the stone from a diamond wholesaler, not in Tiffanys or some of the lower end places. That stone will likely be less likely to depreciate as rapidly, if you get a quality diamond.....let her pick the setting/ring.
To the issue at hand, if this is the women I love, who I want to be my one and only, to have and to hold....(I just came from a wedding this weekend, forgive me) then I will spend what I think is reasonable, dependent upon my financial situation at the time.....Marriage is a gamble, and you never bet what you can't afford to lose.

Idk, probably small. I prefer the courthouse but I know my family wants to be involved. Only people I'm really focused on is me and who I'm marrying. Either way would be fun.

Not that this is the only reason to get married, but generally the more committed to are to a situation, the harder you'll work to make it work out well. A lot of people in long-term relationships who don't get married will ditch the relationship in scenarios where married people would have gotten down to business and worked through it. That's one of the reasons that married people tend to be more satisfied with life than unmarried people - they've put in work to get where they are.
Especially if you have kids, commit to being together until those kids are raised. If you can do that without marriage, go for it - but the numbers suggest that married folk are far more likely to stay together until the kids are grown up than unmarried folk are.
