I hope they were kidding...! Carat is only one of the four C's.
When my husband and I got engaged, he was a poor starving grad student and couldn't afford a 2-carat rock - and to be honest, I didn't want one - it would look ridiculous on me. My diamond is about half a carat, but with good color, clarity, and cut, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
If I'd insisted on the Rock of Gibraltar, I probably wouldn't be married today.
