OH, SG2, I agree with you! If I want more than a carat on my thin finger, then that's my perogative! If aephi loves her Tiffany ring, good for her! If you're man wants to borrow money to get the ring, who cares?
And personally, I don't think a family ring "means more" than a store bought one. My boyfriend loves me, he also works his butt off at a good job, so he's going to go to a jewler to buy me a ring. I certainly don't think he loves me any less or the ring means any less because it's not passed down. Also, if I end up with a chunk of change on my finger, I certainly won't think it's a sign that he loves me more than someone who has 1/16th of a carat.
Let's just all love our sparkly things (or our hopes for them!) and be happy!
On a side note: My mom had a college friend who got a HIDEOUS ring. The girl struggled for a few weeks, but eventually told her fiance that she really didn't like it and they exchanged it. Sounds crappy, but you are going to wear it for - hopefully- the rest of your life. Might as well like it!
