Glad to see your optomistic lol

 

it means that people who've been married for a while continue to stay married. people who are divorced are more likely to marry and divorce and re-marry.

the main point i'm making is that the 50% statistic is misleading

 

just go this for my girl...

specs:
1.22 C round brilliant
F color
VVS2
Triple X (excellent cut grade, polish, and symmetry)
setting - platinum with 0.45C total 18 diamonds around.

14K after tax...good thing she said yes. LOL

 

LEK--

Whatever you do, take your time. No need to rush. I spent several months searching before I stumbled upon the ring that I was willing to spend moolah on.

Defintely helps to look at it directly. Internet shopping is not the way to go for a diamond.

Don't forget to ask for "discounts", etc. I was able to knock off about 2 grand off just buy talking with the guy.

Another thing, check with your Insurance company to find out how much a rider would cost to cover it. Once I purchased mine, I had it covered under my policy. Once I gave it to her, we transferred it to her insurance policy.

spend as much as possible dude..we all know she aint after your good looks..ahaha sike..it seem like NGC is just full of random forum topics. I post about a great strut bar..and actual mod..and get like 2 response and LEK post about a ring..and everybody and their mom hops on..haha goodluck lek.

The reason why is because the probability of you getting that mod is highly probable and the probability of Lek getting married to a women...is very low and intrigues others. J/k

 

buy what you can afford. It doesn't make sense to go broke over a ring, and if she doesn't like what you can afford, you better start thinking about how the marriage will be.

Most marriages fail due to financial reasons!

 

wisest comment in the thread lol

 

I got her a small quarter carat engagement ring a few years ago, it had G clarity I believe, almost flawless, got it for about 700 bucks. then for our wedding, i got her a 1.75 carat with about a quarter smaller stones around the band, total weight 2.something. the clarity wasnt the best, but she wanted a big one, put me back 3 Gs... I'll take some pictures

 

2 ideas in here I really like are:

get her something small but nice....

and

getting her a custom ring with sapphires...

gotta look into these. I dont really want to spend too much on a ring. thats the truth.

 

saphire? unless i'm missing out on something, daimonds are a girls's best friend. I think they'll take a small daimond over the biggest sapphire you can afford any day of the week. Just my thought. My other thought is..to most of us, this is a suprised because either (1) you been hiding this relationship from us for a while or (2) this hasn't been that long of a relationship. if it's the later, you should slow down, you don't want to be part of the statistic..ya know? haha

looool rules are meant to be broken!!! so are records!!!

ummm yeah..

so when are you gonna come over and test fit that strut bar on my car???

 

well absoluteg showed me the ring he gave his fiance/wife and its really nice.

 

^You got a budget or tapping into your 401K to get this rock?

 

haha thanks. you should check with your girl to see if she's into diamonds. be sure to make her watch blood diamonds first i didn't have thankfully... but still it might help haha
