Don't get a wedding ring yet, it can be a nice experience looking for one together :)
Thank you all for your input. I'll be getting engagement ring by its self then.
There is no such thing as negotiating the price on a diamond.Quote:

My perants went into an independant jewelers and managed to get £300 off of a diamond ring.
Congrats!!
How old are you and how long have you been with this girl?
If you're under ~28 then you dun goofed.

DO NOT get a ring online.... Even if it is cheaper there is a reason it's so cheap. If you go to a local store you will get it insured, in some cases for the lifetime of the ring.
It might be a bit more expensive now, but in the long run it will save you a tun of money. Also, why not just get a small personal loan to cover it?
Yeah because there is no way you can find true love before you're 28!Quote:

your 'perants' probably got married in a time where divorce wasn't a real option.Quote:

You are constantly making assumptions and generalizing things.Quote:

No kidding. My work buddy got married 4 or so years ago when he was I think 19 and from all that I hear it sounds like a really healthy relationship. I can see it happening for people. I have been in two long relationships, in which I haven't been able to imagine babies or marriage coming along at all. I used to think it will come with age, but now at 27 I'm starting to realize maybe it's just not for me, not with these people at least. So what I'm trying to say is that I don't think that it looks at your age (given a certain level of minimum maturity) but your attitude and who you're with.Quote:

Best of luck to marriage! Hope your girl won't see this thread before you do propose! :)
I know the feeling. It can be hard to find the right girl. Some people make it look so easy while others seem to not care about a real relationship. Which basically leaves you with certain desires who remain unanswered.
In the end you need to find that special one. A lot of people tell you (or at least tell me) to lower my standards, but I refuse to do so. Don't get me wrong, I don't have some weird demands regarding looks, however I am pretty demanding on personality, intelligence, humor etc.
In the end you do want someone who you can spend your life with, not just the next year.
