Fancy engagement ring or not, even if the ring is made of plastic - I bet your girlfriend is more pleased and that she is thrilled the most by the fact that you wanna spend the rest of your lives together! Yeah, she may want a fancy ring, but if you can't afford it she shouldn't mind that. After all, she's getting a much better gift for her wedding - you! :) hope this helps.
there are a lot of rings that have multiple tiny tiny diamonds that really look big and expensive. It has the look of pave. You can have the illusion of expensive without breaking the bank. I would do my research and then when you ask her to marry you just speak from your heart. She will love you for presenting your best.
You have a few options: -You can dely the engagement until you have saved up enough money to buy her the engagement ring she wants. -You can set up a payment plan, some jewellers will let you pay in installments -You can buy her the best ring you can afford and hope she likes it, after all, if she really loves you and your hinting that marriage may be in your future then she has to accept you for who you are and should be happy with whatever ring you give her.
Honestly hun it won't matter how expensive or big the diamond is as long as you give it to her with your whole heart attached and the true promise that you will be with her forever, love her, cherish her then you are set with even a ring from a gum ball machine. She loves you, just don't worry so much and get whatever you can afford!
If she really loves you it won't matter if its a ring out of a cereal box or the biggest diamond you can find. She should just be happy you want to spend the rest of your life with her.
OMG! You don't want to start out your marriage in DEBT do you? Money is the no1 reason newly weds divorce.The size of the ring doesn't matter, being in debt does. Ask her this, "nice fancy ring, or being able to qualify for a nice home someday" trust me, don't go into debt for something that won't gain you equity. Unless you buy good gold and when you do split because of money, then you can always sell it off, but no guaentees. Be smart, if she loves you, she shouldn't put the both of you into debt!
Have you already proposed? If so, then you should tell her you can't afford one I mean seriously if you aren't comfortable telling her that then how are you going to marry her? I would buy something elegant but simple, either way she'll get the point and it's the thought that counts. That's how I'd look at it anyway.
BUT
You could always maybe hold a fund raiser for something and give your community a reason to contribute money.
Something else came to mind as well.I mean isn't the BIG PICTURE that you're proposing? So do you really think your fiance, or soon-to-be fiance will say no if you don't have the ring she wants? I'm sure you wouldn't marry somebody that shallow.
to me the fact that my guy wants to spend the rest of his life with me means way more than a ring I might have in mind. buy the one you can afford and tell her that you will add on to the ring after the one year anniversary. you can do this till its the size she wants; that makes it more meaningful and special.
i would save up a little and try to find something really pretty at a good price. Look I want a fatty ring but if I am in love with my guy and he can't afford it's ok. I'm marrying him for him not the ring.
Most girls always want the huge rock for their engagement ring but when it comes down to it, it really doesn't matter as long as they get it. She should love you and the ring no matter what. You can't buy love.
It shouldn't matter as long as the girl cares for you and loves you for who you are then that's what counts, but hey pete wentz from fall out boy had gave ashleee simppson an ice sculputer ot something for her instead of a ring so give her something from your heart that you know she will care about if she only cares about the ring then that's not love, she probably would care about the cash you got so give her something from the heart and see how that works out!
