And as far as I'm concerenced...I mean, I would like to have a nice sized engagement ring, but my mom's is a fairly small solitaire and she's never upgraded (they easily could if they wanted) and I think it's gorgeous because it's so simple. I would rather my fiancee and I spend that money on a reception/party and a good honeymoon. The ring can be upgraded...and the important part is getting married, not flashing the rock. That's just a luxury, and not everyone gets that luxury...and that's ok.

 Taekwondo theme would be awesome. Especially at the reception...
Much to my mom's dismay, I find themed weddings insanely more interesting than traditional ones...I mean really, every time I've sat through one I've been bored until the party part. I think a themed wedding and an open bar would be extremely entertaining.

When I get engaged you are SO invited
Diamond Darling...I had this great white trash idea that my reception could be at Burger King and all the guests get $5 to order what they want. That way everyone is happy. And we'd serve the strawberry cheesecake pie things as wedding cake. There's a heaping pile of class right there.

I've noticed that (decent) rings go from 1500-3000 average. But, it depends on the cut, style, setting and area. My ring total was around 1500 but that was WAY cheaper for the ring I got because he made it himself. (built a kiln, melted gold, made setting, etc) Mine is a .76 princess cut diamond set in 6 pennyweights of white gold. (The average solitare setting is 1-2 pw's)

It isn't my dream engagement ring, but I would be perfectly happy with that

If my diamond doesn't have the blood of 100 African children on it, I'm sending it back.
