Spending Thousands of Dollars on a Wedding Ring is Ridiculous!

[Sterling Archer]

I'm not inviting my family to the wedding, so why would they pay? It's just going to be me and him. I'd pay for my dress and other stuff. If he wants a reception, then he'll be paying for most of it. He'll pay for his people & I'll pay for mine. I think I would have less than 10 people who I would invite. I want a nice ring , maybe a small (2-5 people) wedding (I haven't decided yet), and long honeymoon.

Define "nice" ring though.

I also find it outrageous that some women won't get married unless the ring is like, 50k (I'm probably over-exaggerating...or not in this day and time). A jewel can never put the price on love. Maybe I'm strange for thinking this or perhaps in the minority. jewelry is nice, but having a roof over your head, food in the fridge or the necessities is better. best if it's with your significant lover.

I prefer a small wedding personally. big fancy, and doing it big isn't the style for me.

[Fun Sized Psycho]

My dad got my mom a rinky dink ring that was gold plated, when my parents got married they went to the courthouse. When they hit their 25 yr anniversary my dad got her a bigger ring.

Miami is losing to the spurs, this was 13, the game Ray Allen hit that 3 pointer. So.Anyway we fukk. And come to find out shes a squirter. Yeah cool I guess. Not my thing. So, I wake her up for work, turns out she worked two jobs. Call center and help desk at the college she graduated from. We head to Atlantic station and for some reason after a cinema and burgers we go into the damn jewelry store. She picked out a ring, I want to say that was priced at 5000. Cool. I go for my credit card, she all up on me, then I had thought nah. Lets wait. She agrees. Months past, come to find out she was a coke head, and unstable. Unstable as far as living conditions go. I got nothing against people who do powder, but it was clearly destroying her. one day im receiving some face mask, and her nose start bleeding. She stopped going to work, got fired, start dressing bummy. I tried to get her help, but after a few days at rehab, she left and was never seen again. Boy did I dodge a bullet

i feel u should get a better one the longer u are with ur partner it shows that long lasting love u got for each other

thats what my parents did.

Those are the ones you run from. But honestly, if marriage will put you in debt then you're not ready. Coli men are a weird brand though. They refuse to spend money on anything or anyone. Dates? Nope. birthday gifts? If it's not cheap..nope! Wedding ring? Nope. Wedding? Nope. A nice night out on the town? Nope!

And all that is fine...but damn, yall expect so much and give so little. Dime who cooks, cleans, has no kids, perfect elbows, real hair, virgin but can fukk like a champ, low expectations, with money who will support you. And nikkaz unwilling to give anything for that.

(as my sister would say) #facts

you answered your own question. paying ridiculous money for a ring is a corporate hoax. Ladies go for it because the ring is shiney. what they do not know is this tradition of buying ridiculous priced rings is not a regular person's tradition. it came from the people trying to sell you diamonds. meaning its a corporate made up gesture. so they have swindled all of us into believing we have to buy these giant rings or women think if they dont get a ring worth X amt it means their man doesnt love them or some nonsense like that. complete foolery.

Dont be fooled by a corporation trying to get your money.


I triple dare a coli lady respond to this post.

what would you like a response to be?

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Don't want a blood diamond or conflict diamond there are other stones. But my ring should cost more than 5,000.

what kind of shyt thinking is this, why you do you need to validate your worth, marriage, and love through a fukkin stone. it defeats the process. those things should be considered priceless not how much the tag is

yo i don't blame these nikkas going the HOH movement, ya'll tricks are unreasonable.

 

[jeh]

'.........' I don't quite understand why you quoted me

 

[Colicat]

Sarcasm? Because diamonds depreciate hella quick. Buy a diamond ring and try to resell it you'd be surprise if you got 50% back.

You are right about the resell.... It would be difficult to get the price you paid for during resell... Why? Because 9 times out of ten you probably bought it at a marked up price

How you gonna ask me a question then call me a trick in the same breath come on now.

Why didn't he just save up for the ring? Or get something cheaper? Did he even talk to the woman?

Why did he have to buy her a ring at all in order to spend the rest of his life with her?

 

[Jahmal]

And your'e foolish to think an engagement ring is not given on the condition of a marriage. That ring is not truly hers until the marriage happens.

If she doesn't give the ring back then lawyer up.

Be smart, make the right decisions. Pick the right person. It's not my fault some people have terrible judgement and are a terrible judge of character.

As a divorce lawyer, I am often asked whether it is possible to get the ring back. That is especially the case when the engagement ring was purchased with multiple commas!

Unfortunately, the answer is likely no except in a few cases. The most typical exception is when you called off the wedding during the engagement -- but even then, it's no guarantee that you will get your ring back.

That's when u know most people on this forum are full of shyt. They will settle like all their friends and family did.

Not at all. I'd rather be single than settle for a wack broad. Most of my friends settled and now they are in debt with a fat wife and kids while I'm driving around in a fly benz and live in a highrise condo. I;ve learned from my friends mistakes and wont settle for any wack shyt. Plus I live in ATL and this place is crawling with many sexy professional black women so I am winning.

what if you bought an expensive ring, had an expensive wedding, went on an lavish honeymoon, and still didn't put yourself into debt?


@Theraflu

There are better uses for that money
