Uh uh uh! That depends a lot of on the age of the couple. Sure, if you're 22-24 or so, your career is just starting up, and you really shouldn't spend that kind of money on something that's really about showing off when you haven't been working long enough to build up real savings.
But, most of the couples I know who are getting married now are in their late 20s-early 30s, their careers are thriving, some even own apartments, and they've got the stocks and bonds. The rings I see in that group are big, and I doubt any of the men overspent.
