I love moon stones. Diamonds are a big waste of money. Spend that money on your honeymoon. I would gladly sell my diamonds for a good vacation, but they are essentially worthless. That's good you were not hoodwinked by the diamond industry; wish I hadn't been.
Patrice are you a Nigerian girl? You are so practical. We don't want unnecessary items we'll spend days convincing people of it's authenticity neither. A real thing like a house or share certificate shows you care about my future and freedom. Most times, the wedding ring becomes a yoke of oppression.
We didn't have much money at all when we got married, still don't. But we still have love. The band was purchased at Walmart, clearanced to $29. It still sparkles and we've been married 13 years now. :)
See what I mean. Yep. Ours, total for the both of us, 104$. Total. We had a fabulous day that day,. Went to three department stores, ate hotdogs and cookies out of the package, and fountain drinks at all. Went to a movie and made our choice. Went back and got our rings. Lovely memories. No stress. Lots 'a giggles. M
Yeah see you're still together. The other people are divorced says everything. What was all that cost for if you end up divorced. My engagement is a beautiful lab created diamond not expensive and my wedding band was $30 off etsy. My husband wanted to spend more but I said thats all I wanted and we couldn't be happier.
$100 is not cheap . If you’re struggling to pay your bills and to put food on the table $100 is a small fortune. My rent takes about half of my wages. It’s only been recent generations that consider anything under $1000 cheap, and if I man spends less then $1000 on a ring he’s a cheapskate. A man can spend big bucks but put no thought or love behind it . Another man can spend a relatively small amount and chose the ring with love and picturing her smile as he buys it wishing he could get her a better one because he loves her.
I totally agree with your comment. But, struggeling with my rent too, I found that people who don't earn much are frowned upon anyway (often their jobs are generally considered shitty and worthless), so stumbling across a woman shallow enough to care about ring price would be much harder
My engagement ring was $85 from Pandora and it’s still super beautiful to me. My husband tried to take me to all the expensive jewelers and we tried on rings but it just didn’t feel like me. We went to like 7 places that day and when I saw the ring that I have I fell in love with it. A pretty silver band, 3 stone princess ring that isn’t too flashy. Not only was it my dream ring, it looks exactly like the ring my mom used to have when I was younger. I used to play in her jewelry and her rings never fit my little hands. The moment I stood in the store and slipped it on my finger, I knew I made the right choice. My husband kept pointing out the price and saying things like “you don’t want a bigger one???” “Babe look at the price...” but that’s not what it’s about. The ring symbolizes much more than material and expensive things. It doesn’t tarnish and it sparkles beautifully ~
That's so cute. I love the story. Actually I just started to read because it said pandora and I do wear quite a bit jewelry from that brand but.. That was the cutest ever. Congratulations!
If that’s the best he could afford then what’s the problem? He is giving her his best ! Actually the fact that he didn’t try to buy rings that he had no way of affording shows that he is level headed and responsible! I would rather know that I had a roof over my head , food on the table and the bills paid than have a fancy expensive ring !!
The problem is that if I knew I loved a woman I’d wait until I could get her the ring she deserved. All it takes is time. It doesn’t even take that long to save up at least a grand.
Taja M so a good woman deserves a thousand dollar ring? I don't think so. My ring is about 18$ and my partner and I wanted it cheap because we were both still in high school. Tbh I could never sleep well knowing I wear thousands of dollars on my finger because it would feel like a waste to me. My husband and I donate a lot and we decided to donate the money (he has already worked then) we would've spent for the wedding. So my wedding cake was baked by my mum and the wedding rings were by my husband's parents. This may not be the right thing for everyone, I understand that spending money on this special day can be quiet great but it was what my husband and I wanted.
Selvyn Quijada Ya wanna know something odd, I've been married a few times, the bigger the ring, the less time I ended up being married, but I've figured it all out now! I'll stay married forever by putting an I owe you in a ring box, that should work, right? lol Both. ex wives did the exact same thing after we separated, first thing they did was to run to the jewlers to sell the ring... Hmmm I must say, there's quite a few ladies in here that said they'd even prefer a ring pop if the guy left it up to them! I'm telling you, these ladies are sure keepers! 😁 Everytime I see one say that I tell them that I'm single & imeadiately ask them what their favorite flavor is! 😁 I haven't had any responses as of yet but if I do, I'm going out & buying a whole box of those ring pops! lol
David Carter get champagne flavored, it might warm them up! but you have been married three times! take a little break, enjoy life a bit, join MGTOW for a bit, you might like being single.....I'm just saying...
Selvyn Quijada No way, can't go the MGTOW route... First two wives ended in divorce, 3rd one passed away, been single for a while & my wife wouldn't want to see me alone, she had said so at one point... If she didn't go unexpectedly I'd still be with her.... I adore ladies, I could be without them, but I really can't see any point in that.... Besides, any babe that loves ring pops and would wear one for a wedding ring would have to be the kind of provacative female that would captivate my attention and interest. I'll look around for that champagne flavored ring pop, sounds like a fun flavor! if a lady bought me & wanted me to wear a ring pop that was Jack Daniels flavored my heart would probably melt! With her champagne ring pop and me with the Jack Daniels ring pop on my hand, well, the only thing I can think of to say is that I guess we'd be a couple of real suckers! Hehehe 😊
People are so jaded. The people that make fun of others wedding rings are the ones that will never get married. Big rings doesn't mean your marriage will last longer than someone with a smaller ring.
Chantell Hanna that's so true. I would also wager that the same people are truly miserable souls, that feel the need to put someone else down (esp in a moment of their happiness) to feel better about themselves.
My wedding set is right under $200 all together and my husband's wedding band was $25. We also got married at the courthouse. Nice to know we're not the only ones.
My baby bought mine for £21. I don't care. It's beautiful, he's amazing and we're happy with the committment of love between the two of us. I would have been happy with a Haribo ring 😂
I had a customer at my work once tell me my husband wasn't "man" enough because my stone was small. That really upset me because my husband knows the kind of jewelry I like, he didn't, so I had to shut him up by telling him I prefer small petite rings. Not no big fat rock that makes my size 3 finger look smaller than they already are 😾😾😾
Beccaness Rose that guy thinks that he can buy every woman with money, let him keep thinking that. When he marries a shallow bitch, and has most of his wealth taken in divorce, he will reap what he sows.
The fact that he would say that to you tells you one of two things: Either A) He’s bitter with life and likes to try to bring others down to his level or B) He’s jealous of your husband so thinks making him look bad might give him (your co-worker) an “in”. Neither of which are your problem.
Well rings are mostly over $1000 if you get them at a jewelry store. It really depends on the person and what they consider inexpensive. $400 might be $100 for someone else. $100 might be a bargain for someone while it could be a lot for others. However engagement rings (for women esp) are always over priced ($1,500-$10,000) as if all women are materialistic and only want expensive jewelry and diamonds. Love is priceless. Doesn’t matter the cost.
This ring set is beautiful...and the love it represents is so apparent! My ring was $800 but my dress was only $99 off the rack at Dillard’s and my whole wedding was under $2K. And now, two homes, three kids, four dogs, and numerous guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, and hamsters later, in two months my husband and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary ❤️. I am baffled by couples who spend tens of thousands of dollars on the dress and ring alone...and then as much as a down payment on a home for the ceremony and reception. Why???
Stacie M I am baffled why you choose to bash those who find weddings and their rings to be crucial. Not everyone wants to own a damn farm or zoo in their house. And not everyone wants kids. 🤷♀️
NikkiNicole Hernandez1026 I would be happy living in a one room apartment as long as I had my husband and our kids with us. The home, the pets, the ring, the wedding...none of that matters to me in comparison to my husband and the three human beings we brought into this world. Sharing my *opinion* regarding people who choose to find their happiness in other ways is not me bashing them. Whatever anyone does with their life - as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else - is 💯% golden with me. I see life differently, but that is, again, just my opinion. Just as you sharing your thoughts regarding my children and "zoo" aka my pets (not all of which are living anymore...those are the pets we've had in our almost 20yrs of marriage...we are currently down to just one dog, two rabbits, and a guinea pig) was not meant to bash me - it was just your opinion 😉. You do you - whatever that may be. BTW I know *most* people wouldn't want a snake or three dogs at once or a ferret...we took in animals that needed a home and a family because that's what we enjoy. Different strokes for different folks!
Stacie M And you don't think couples who spend so much on their wedding are happy because it's what they want! Instead of you saying you can't imagine why these couples spend so much on what their wedding??
NikkiNicole Hernandez1026 I'm sure they are very happy...but I find it hard to understand, just as you find my life hard to understand. There was no hostility or ill will in my post...as I said, you do you and we're all happy 😁.
They actually are. One of my teachers told me once diamonds are the biggest scam in the world. He said "they are not rare" which is true. There are millions of diamonds all throughout the world. Just because it takes a long time to create one doesn't mean they are rare
Trystan Woodard the rare myth was created by the diamond industry itself. If they are so rare then why are they everywhere in every country, every decent jewelry store, peoples finger and homes. Nothing rare about them, they are just hard to extract from the earth.
Expensive rings, cars and shoes. How much $$$ in the bank? Do you own the home you live in? Still paying school loans? Get your priorities straight before even considering marriage.
I insisted my partner get me a cheap ring as he was wanting an expensive one. I didn't see the point as i don't wear jewelery normally and i agree about it being about the message not the $$$$$
James Antony not all women I'm not materialistic at all for all my birthdays I didn't even want presents but my family just gave me money and cards and dolls when I was younger I played with it shoot I was bored sometimes
Love is not about a ring. My ring cost less than 100$ we will be married in January for THIRTY awesome years. Don't let anyone shame you about your rings, they see beautiful and what they represent is even far more beautiful than any ring ever could be! May you have many loving years to come!
We live in a very materialistic society and too much emphasis is placed on huge rings with huge price tags thanks to jewellers like De Beers and others who wanted to drum up business. My mother's engagement ring was second hand and was a pretty sapphire and diamond style and her wedding ring was also relatively cheap. They were married for 40+ years until my father's death. Go with what you want and what you can afford. It's not about the ring anyway.
I love this! Marriage isn’t about jewellery or big dresses or fancy weddings and a massive cake, it is a celebration and ceremony that celebrates 2 people who love eachother very much committing themselves to eachother for the rest of there lives!
We paid 99.00 for my engagement ring 33 yrs ago and now I wear my parents wedding rings. It means so much because I lost my father almost 20 yrs ago and I love them as much as my 100 ring, but most of all I love my husband so much.
My ring was cheap but to me is priceless. Once I was with my fiance on holidays (I was young and stupid and went swimming with ring on) Ive lost my ring in sea and my boy found it there!!! He had to do some serious scuba diving!! Best boy ever 😍😍
Mimi Cutie So if a man can't buy an "expensive" ring it should keep him from marrying the woman he loves? It's not about the money. It's about the intent. People spend $40,000 on a wedding and end up divorced a year or two later.
boimackhead Not sure who you were directing your comment to to, but if it is to me, I married my childhood sweetheart whom I have known since we were 10 years old. We grew up next door to each other and we have two wonderful children; 22 years old and 19 years old. We eloped to beautiful South Lake Tahoe spending, $1,100 dollars for the ceremony and another $500 for a beautiful Marriott Honeymoon Suite. We have no regrets. Our marriage is solid and wasn't hinged on an expensive ring.
I'm getting married next month and i was just online looking at rings and came across this video. I really wanted something simple and i'm glad I saw this.
Shadee Williams I think women feel pressured to have a pretty and massive ring and men feel pressured to provide it. I had a plain gold band. It really doesn't matter. Later I got an eternity ring and I thought I'd like a pretty solitaire, but chose a pretty plain gold band with diamonds set into it, so I wouldn't scratch my babies 😀 I like practical things 😊
This reminds me of the picture of the ring with a Small diamond in it that said "would you say yes to a diamond this size?" And I shared it and said yes I would. And somebody commented and said "I wouldn't he better get me a ring that costs at least 1000" needless to say I unfriended her my man bought me a ring from Walmart that cost at most 150 and I couldn't care less.
When I got engaged my fiance took me ring shopping and got me a $200 walmart ring. We're married now and I'm still proud of my ring and always will be. Love and marriage is about so much more than material items. Shame on anyone who is selfish enough to turn a good man down because he isnt rich and is too smart to go into debt over a ring.
Tiffany Kellogg Great words!! I am glad you are happy and have a good marriage!! Congrats!! The big picture is the ring doesn't matter as far as cost if you enjoy it and your marriage is healthy. Yet, some men and women choose to shop together and some women have dreamed of there ring since before meeting the love of their lives. These men necessarily aren't going into debt to purchase that ring and can still afford a lifestyle together too. Those men are equally as responsible who buy a more expensive ring, but can afford and choose to afford higher priced rings. They're more than happy to buy it to make their future wives happy. I believe nothing is wrong with either way as long as it comes from a genuine heart and you both love one another and are comitted and respect one another. Now, the heart behind it matters most!! Make sure the person is about you ladies and gents by Your friendship and love and buy what pleases you. Best!!
I'm just 19yrs old so this might sound dump but if I get the opportunity then I would like to ask the question with a ring I made with my own hands (yea there are UA-cam videos for it but the process is slow and hardworking)
We spent a bit more on my ring (not a ton thankfully), but I am an artist and love designing things. We were also given an heirloom ring that sadly was in too poor of shape to use (it was on its last leg on the bottom) so we used the stones from it. Small diamonds and sapphires that belonged to my husbands grandmother. I didn't care to brag to the whole world like many do these days for how expansive it was, more like how creative can I get with the lowest price point and a high quality ringsmith (that probably is just not well known yet in his career). It was fun that way for the both of us. We found a local lesser known family owned business and they showed they like going off the beaten path with what I was looking for (flowers, vines, leaves, etc...) and I gave them my Ideas and they delivered on them quite well. For me it was special and one of a kind. I get comments on it alot more than I thought. Sadly I had to make the hard decision to merge the two together before getting married or risk troubles with flowers surrounding the simple engagement ring in the middle. My family saw it as taboo, but in the end the two rings would have most likely have been merged later with a worse effect. Tis life. Now it doesn't matter, it only did for 5 months. A lifetime of hopeful happiness is more important than than a huge expensive engagement ring that doesn't matter after a divorce... or an expensive rental you have to return with a happy marriage that lasts. Do what you love within reason, just don't spend the whole world to buy it, there be bills to pay after the fairytale wedding which hampers your future quite heavily. Try building a family or buying a home with $10,000 in debt to start out life..... sadly one regretful friend of mine did. Learned real quick I wanted to avoid that. Knowing that, we paid in cash for our wedding from money we saved beforehand. just over $3000 for everything including the reception, food, the ring, flowers, and silk dress with hand embroidery (I made myself), etc......you get the idea. We didn't skimp on anything, we just got creative. Guests said it was the best reception they had been to so far, guess it pays to use what you have and make do. My kimono collection sure came in handy, my uncles christmas lights (for christmas light business) strung above like stars, and my mothers vintage glass party tray collection did as well for nice elegant touches.
I just think men should do the best they can according to their means. If your man buys you a 50 dollar ring when he's making good money, that's actually a little bit shameful and it'd be better for your dignity to gt married with no ring at all. On the other hand, if he's actually poor, its perfectly excusable.
My first ring was little diamond chips and cost $65. He had just got out of the Army and it’s all he could afford. On our 20th he bought me a 2 kt marquis.
Return value is 10% initial cost of ring. -my $25,000 (Chicago’s famous, Oak St purchased Diamond 💍 ) LESTER LAMBERT & Co. Didn’t even COVER my DIVORCE attorneys Retainer!!! W/the trade In of a Presidential Diamond bezel Rolex & $25,000 diamond ring No one NEEDS a DIAMOND 💎 to measure Happiness 😘
Tina Morris I bought my ring for $6,000 and my ring was appraised for $8,200 they said they would buy it right there. If you so your research and get a good quality one you may have better luck.
Jasmine Bonilla that's a lie unless you bought the 6000 ring used off Ebay lol but you're not buying a 6000 ring brand new from a jewelry store and then selling it and making a profit. Impossible...
Mimi Cutie Well, if you knew my husband you would know that he puts me before himself. And believe it or not, we are 100% just alike, same mindset, people have even said we look alike! I guess it’s true what they say, “when you’re born, you have someone who is specifically for you” he would spend any amount of money on me, but again, I’m not interested in material things. All I’m interested in is his love.
Adriana Noelle so if your man spends money on anything such as gaming, electronics, shoes, etc. and you are setting for a piece of candy as a ring??? You're a damn dumbass and a lying one at that. Don't act too cute because I'm sure if you met a man with wealth you would have taken an expensive ring.
+Queen. Kristal really queen really you know you want that real housewives of Atlanta type ring 💍 boo boo imma man straight man at that and I like me some diamonds bling bling!
Friend got a $10k ring and got divorced 2 years later. She's a normal nice woman not a gold digger. I have my grandmother's very small not fancy ring and my husband made his ring himself out of leftover titanium (he did metal work) and we got married in the woods with just the JP and 2 witnesses. We'll be married 5 years this year which isnt long but we're just getting started and we dont have money but we love each other.
Sarabeth when I read your husband made his ring my heart melted (no pun intended). Can you imagine passing that down one day to a child/grandchild or other family member knowing the positive energy and love that was used to create the piece? Can you imagine the thoughts that were going through his mind as he was making it? Such a wonderful story. Blessings to you both.
My husband and I both got our rings together for under $250? And my wedding dress was $99 dollars. Our entire wedding was just over $2000. Not too shabby!
My ring cost a little over $300. We found it Sam's club one day. It is beautiful and I get so many complements. It's 14k rose gold with diamond accents but the center stone is morganite. I'm a savy person and I'm always looking for ways to save money. My ring is a perfect representation of me and our relationship. He knows I would have been mad if he spent thousands of dollars on ring.
Morganite is beautiful but pretty soft. Not really a life time kind of stone. When you have to replace it, I recommend moissanite :) Best wishes for your marriage.
That's news? My grandma and grandpa, and my parents also have a 50$ simple gold wedding band each (and no engagement rings), and my grandparents were married for 60 years and my parents are still married for 30 years. My grandparents didnt wear their rings because they feared they would get lost and they didnt have enough money to buy new ones in case that would have happened. They wore them only on their wedding day and then put them in a box, in their closet for safe keeping. When my grandpa died, at 89, my grandma decided she would give grandpa's wedding ring to one of her sons and her ring to the other son (my father). My father then gave it to me and I now wear it on my necklace everyday.
I got my wedding ring for 125 at a pawn shop. For me, it represented that even though someone else had a marriage fail, I could try to keep ours. It was like a redemption for the ring. Sadly, my husband wanted me to keep my pre-children body and left me with two amazing boys a mother could ever want. I might have gained 40 pounds in motherhood, but I lost 180 the day he left.
When my husband and I got married I didn’t get a ring , love is definitely not measured in how big the diamond is, we have been married for 20 years now and two kids later I do have a ring, nothing fancy because that’s not what’s important to me
I love my fiance so much and no ring value could replace the I love I have for her. The ring I'm going to buy her is just a symbol of my love for her. I am going to marry her this December and I've been eating top ramen at work to save up for our wedding. I never thought I find the love of my life. She's beautiful inside and out. I am the luckiest man!
This is beautiful! Been waiting 7 years for my guy to understand that I don't NEED an expensive ring...😔Yet...I wait. He says I "DESERVE" what he feels I deserve. Smdh I just want to be his WIFE. 💍
No offense but hes just stalling, sis. If he wanted to marry you, he would have done so at this point. 7 years..now it's 9 years! I hope you walked if you didn't get married yet. Don't do wifely things for a man who is not your husband.
ALLYOUCANEAT wtf?? You are not being materialistic girl! That's your RIGHT and it's natural to hope the ring is pretty! 😬😌I think it's just all apart of the adrenaline rush when getting married...it's normal.
I care about the ring but not the price tag 😂 nowadays you can buy a sterling silver ring with cubic zirconia that costs about $10 and it will look like it cost thousands of dollars. Trust me , I have a jewelry box full of them.
Nope it will get cloudy and then everyone can tell but you can buy a lab created diamond ring. But it’s gotten so popular that they are making it expensive. Still you’ll pay 10,000 for a real diamond ring verses 2-3 thousand for lab created.
cutie pie well diamonds are not precious stones. They are a dud investment. At least gold will appreciate in value. Diamond does nothing for it. It’s like flushing money down the toilet.
My engagement ring was $10 and, and my wedding ring was $50 (30yrs ago) I was so ignorant then I even ask what is for engagement ring, because I didnt even know that there is and required a ring. So happy about it.
I agree I rather have a man that works hard ,put his blood sweat and tears into my ring .Opose to a expensive ring from a man that he bought with ease and isn't even worth my time .My husband asked me if I wanted a ring at Zales,Kay's diamonds in the mall .He had his tax check and I knew we needed it to move and furnish our near home .I told him that Walmart would do without any hesitation .He laughed and said are you serious . He was a great guy and I would have taken a cubic zurconia ring from the ten dollar rolling display at Walmart any day That's just me .No wonder these women cant stay married these days they are to materialistic . Let me say this then I'm out your man might spend a few thousands , hundred thousands or a cool million but at the end of the day will it last ? Answer possibly not because take a close look at the celeberties of today all races and do the math .This is such a breathtaking video and the woman who actually stepped up and spoke up to defend her ring against these nieve people should win a medal for best speech of "The Act Of Realness Award"
My husband bought me a 108.00 .25 solitaire engagement ring from Walmart 14 yrs ago. Yes we are still married. He couldve given me a ring pop and i wouldve been happy. The wedding bands are a different story, but i want women to know my man is taken.
Materialistic people make me sick! My husband got my engagement ring for $30 that included a matching necklace. It was my birth stone, it meant the world to me! I don't care for gifts I have my husband by my side with our two beautiful children. It's sad that people can't understand what that's like.
Truth... materials isn't what I want. I thought I found the love of my life but after almost 18 years with him, he changed his heart....but I have 2 beautiful teens that love me dearly...
K TT maybe you changed your shape and he’s still in love with the shape you had 18 years ago. Sometimes, you just didn’t know which part your man in love with, time proves everything.
L S well, basically I meant maybe she didnt know him enough when they got married. it takes time to find out who they really are. People represent themselves the best side when they were in love, and hide their true ugly side. so 1 case: He maybe didnt change at all, but his true self just always loves young beautiful gals which she didnt know. another case: he has changed by money or environment or other people.
My wife and I could soo relate. J lo wasn't kidding when she said love don't cost a thing. Thank you God for bringing this beautiful women into my life.
YaniJiménez My first engagement ring was $88 from Walmart. My late husband and I were married 14 years and 4 days. Through thick and thin, good and bad, till death us do part.
It doesn't matter the price of a ring but if a guy could spend large amount of money on name brand shoes; everytime they are released; therefore, he has that kind of money to spend on ring.
If he buys his woman the expensive shoes, cars, and clothes, it shouldn't matter how much the ring costs. I don't know alot of women who spoil their men anyway.
You mean we're suppose to base love on the commitment and long term strength of our relationship and not on the materialistic possessions and opportunities we can gain from our high net worth partner?........GTFOH Y'all almost had me HAHAHAHAHA
couldn't agree more, my engagement ring was 80.00, and it wasn't even a diamond, it was a moonstone.
Love these! i'll definitely get a ring I love when the day comes, there is no point in spending a huge amount of money for a ring.
Personally, I prefer moonstone over diamond. I think it has more character to its appearance, not just glitzy.
That sounds lovely and thoughtful
I love moon stones. Diamonds are a big waste of money. Spend that money on your honeymoon. I would gladly sell my diamonds for a good vacation, but they are essentially worthless. That's good you were not hoodwinked by the diamond industry; wish I hadn't been.
Moonstone is my absolute favourite. Lovely singing voice btw :)
Give me a house instead so I know it's real
Patrice are you a Nigerian girl? You are so practical. We don't want unnecessary items we'll spend days convincing people of it's authenticity neither. A real thing like a house or share certificate shows you care about my future and freedom. Most times, the wedding ring becomes a yoke of oppression.
Helen Enang No I'm not Nigerian.
I couldn't have agreed more . put a roof over my head. That's real commitment
Carlos Mohia TF are you talking to, bitch?
Patrice Thats right!👍
We didn't have much money at all when we got married, still don't. But we still have love. The band was purchased at Walmart, clearanced to $29. It still sparkles and we've been married 13 years now. :)
See what I mean. Yep. Ours, total for the both of us, 104$. Total. We had a fabulous day that day,. Went to three department stores, ate hotdogs and cookies out of the package, and fountain drinks at all. Went to a movie and made our choice. Went back and got our rings. Lovely memories. No stress. Lots 'a giggles. M
Yeah see you're still together. The other people are divorced says everything. What was all that cost for if you end up divorced. My engagement is a beautiful lab created diamond not expensive and my wedding band was $30 off etsy. My husband wanted to spend more but I said thats all I wanted and we couldn't be happier.
The most important thing is that yall love each other may God bless you 2, and give you all things needed
So beautiful. This really taught me something, thank you.
Unfortunately, there Not many Women like that anymore.
$100 is not cheap . If you’re struggling to pay your bills and to put food on the table $100 is a small fortune. My rent takes about half of my wages. It’s only been recent generations that consider anything under $1000 cheap, and if I man spends less then $1000 on a ring he’s a cheapskate. A man can spend big bucks but put no thought or love behind it . Another man can spend a relatively small amount and chose the ring with love and picturing her smile as he buys it wishing he could get her a better one because he loves her.
I was expecting alot of dumbfounded and one sided comments but this right here is pure gold.
Your right is what i mean, no sarcasm.
One of the best comments I've read so far
becky gould 👏👏👏
I totally agree with your comment. But, struggeling with my rent too, I found that people who don't earn much are frowned upon anyway (often their jobs are generally considered shitty and worthless), so stumbling across a woman shallow enough to care about ring price would be much harder
If $100 is a fortune to you then I hope you’re using the internet from a public library
As long as I can wash my hands without it fading or changing color im good lol
Norastar lmao right!
Lol 👍
Lmao true
Norastar it have something call taking it off it pretty easy.
Aye Army 😂
It's so sad how materialism is celebrated it's not about how big a ring is so, sad.
Mimi Cutie
Women get handbags, cars, and electronics too. Men spoil women. A ring is just a ring.
Loretta Toombs p
Couldn't agree more👍
Well I mean... Yeah. Lol
Jireh A. A ring is an investment ,and a commitment sign how he plane to provide In the future,,
My wife was happy with her cheerio ring I got her. Unfortunately, she got hungry one night and ate it.

TheVoiceofReason You could replace it with an onion ring?
TheVoiceofReason dude just do what I did and cut out the middle of a cucumber.
Ann Mitchell or a ring pop
F R O S S T Y 88 Mmm not much on sweets,rather have a hula hoop.😆
My engagement ring was $85 from Pandora and it’s still super beautiful to me. My husband tried to take me to all the expensive jewelers and we tried on rings but it just didn’t feel like me. We went to like 7 places that day and when I saw the ring that I have I fell in love with it. A pretty silver band, 3 stone princess ring that isn’t too flashy. Not only was it my dream ring, it looks exactly like the ring my mom used to have when I was younger. I used to play in her jewelry and her rings never fit my little hands. The moment I stood in the store and slipped it on my finger, I knew I made the right choice. My husband kept pointing out the price and saying things like “you don’t want a bigger one???” “Babe look at the price...” but that’s not what it’s about. The ring symbolizes much more than material and expensive things. It doesn’t tarnish and it sparkles beautifully ~
That's so cute. I love the story. Actually I just started to read because it said pandora and I do wear quite a bit jewelry from that brand but.. That was the cutest ever. Congratulations!
Nice
I love Pandora rings..just beautiful
I also made one like my parent's
If that’s the best he could afford then what’s the problem? He is giving her his best ! Actually the fact that he didn’t try to buy rings that he had no way of affording shows that he is level headed and responsible! I would rather know that I had a roof over my head , food on the table and the bills paid than have a fancy expensive ring !!
The problem is that if I knew I loved a woman I’d wait until I could get her the ring she deserved. All it takes is time. It doesn’t even take that long to save up at least a grand.
Taja M point missed 🙄
Taja M both sides are alright, me personally, I would save up for a better ring, jewelry is a big deal for some people.
Taja M so a good woman deserves a thousand dollar ring? I don't think so. My ring is about 18$ and my partner and I wanted it cheap because we were both still in high school. Tbh I could never sleep well knowing I wear thousands of dollars on my finger because it would feel like a waste to me. My husband and I donate a lot and we decided to donate the money (he has already worked then) we would've spent for the wedding. So my wedding cake was baked by my mum and the wedding rings were by my husband's parents. This may not be the right thing for everyone, I understand that spending money on this special day can be quiet great but it was what my husband and I wanted.
becky gould Amen! 🙏
love is free...... the ring is just saying I'm taken.
Selvyn Quijada ..and the bigger rings say I'm taken ...him for a ride! lol
David Carter
hahaha! to the moon and beyond!
Selvyn Quijada Ya wanna know something odd, I've been married a few times, the bigger the ring, the less time I ended up being married, but I've figured it all out now! I'll stay married forever by putting an I owe you in a ring box, that should work, right? lol Both. ex wives did the exact same thing after we separated, first thing they did was to run to the jewlers to sell the ring... Hmmm I must say, there's quite a few ladies in here that said they'd even prefer a ring pop if the guy left it up to them! I'm telling you, these ladies are sure keepers! 😁 Everytime I see one say that I tell them that I'm single & imeadiately ask them what their favorite flavor is! 😁 I haven't had any responses as of yet but if I do, I'm going out & buying a whole box of those ring pops! lol
David Carter
get champagne flavored, it might warm them up! but you have been married three times! take a little break, enjoy life a bit, join MGTOW for a bit, you might like being single.....I'm just saying...
Selvyn Quijada No way, can't go the MGTOW route... First two wives ended in divorce, 3rd one passed away, been single for a while & my wife wouldn't want to see me alone, she had said so at one point... If she didn't go unexpectedly I'd still be with her.... I adore ladies, I could be without them, but I really can't see any point in that.... Besides, any babe that loves ring pops and would wear one for a wedding ring would have to be the kind of provacative female that would captivate my attention and interest. I'll look around for that champagne flavored ring pop, sounds like a fun flavor! if a lady bought me & wanted me to wear a ring pop that was Jack Daniels flavored my heart would probably melt! With her champagne ring pop and me with the Jack Daniels ring pop on my hand, well, the only thing I can think of to say is that I guess we'd be a couple of real suckers! Hehehe 😊
My engangement ring is $80, but my love to him is priceless.
Aye that’s the only thing that matters! ❤️ wish you guys the best. happy wife happy life pass my message too him! 👌🏾☝🏾
This woman is a keeper. She knows what life is really like
Its not the material things fault its the fucked up friends, family and haters that judge these 💍 That messed it all up!
True
YES PREACH
YUPPPP.
I absolutely love this comment! Right on the nose
Soo true
People are so jaded. The people that make fun of others wedding rings are the ones that will never get married. Big rings doesn't mean your marriage will last longer than someone with a smaller ring.
Chantell Hanna couldn't have said it better...👏
True. The only reel winners here: The jewelry companies! lmao
Chantell Hanna that's so true. I would also wager that the same people are truly miserable souls, that feel the need to put someone else down (esp in a moment of their happiness) to feel better about themselves.
Chantell Hanna Just like cheap ass rings mean he loves you. It's the same logic right??
James Moore a poor bitter man has appeared 😭😂
My wedding set is right under $200 all together and my husband's wedding band was $25. We also got married at the courthouse. Nice to know we're not the only ones.
Nope your not. Married is married at the end of the day! Couthouse or "traditional wedding" it all leads to the same thing.
My bf proposed last month and the ring cost $30. I love it. I’m so happy he wants to get married!
My baby bought mine for £21. I don't care. It's beautiful, he's amazing and we're happy with the committment of love between the two of us. I would have been happy with a Haribo ring 😂
Leticia Herbert You don't happen to have a sister who's single by any chance, do you? lol
low standards
My first engagement ring was $88. My late husband and I were married 14 years and 4 days.
boimackhead
What kind if stupid comment is that?
THEY MAKE HARIBO RINGS?!???!?
I had a customer at my work once tell me my husband wasn't "man" enough because my stone was small. That really upset me because my husband knows the kind of jewelry I like, he didn't, so I had to shut him up by telling him I prefer small petite rings. Not no big fat rock that makes my size 3 finger look smaller than they already are 😾😾😾
Beccaness Rose
I don't know why people compare love, or a man's masculinity, to the size of a lifeless object
Jireh A. Agreed. I didn't think someone could be so rude
Beccaness Rose that guy thinks that he can buy every woman with money, let him keep thinking that. When he marries a shallow bitch, and has most of his wealth taken in divorce, he will reap what he sows.
Beccaness Rose so sorry for people's ignorance. Don't let it get you down. Keep shining you and your husband.
The fact that he would say that to you tells you one of two things:
Either A) He’s bitter with life and likes to try to bring others down to his level or B) He’s jealous of your husband so thinks making him look bad might give him (your co-worker) an “in”.
Neither of which are your problem.
I spent almost 4 grand on my wife's n my rings thank you very much
Acting like $180 for a ring isn't expensive lol
no po thats cheap asf
no po it’s not. Wtf
Well rings are mostly over $1000 if you get them at a jewelry store. It really depends on the person and what they consider inexpensive. $400 might be $100 for someone else. $100 might be a bargain for someone while it could be a lot for others. However engagement rings (for women esp) are always over priced ($1,500-$10,000) as if all women are materialistic and only want expensive jewelry and diamonds. Love is priceless. Doesn’t matter the cost.
People need to focus on the love part not the flashy materialistic crap..
It is a stament of love not a contest over the price of it.......
This ring set is beautiful...and the love it represents is so apparent! My ring was $800 but my dress was only $99 off the rack at Dillard’s and my whole wedding was under $2K. And now, two homes, three kids, four dogs, and numerous guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, and hamsters later, in two months my husband and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary ❤️. I am baffled by couples who spend tens of thousands of dollars on the dress and ring alone...and then as much as a down payment on a home for the ceremony and reception. Why???
DMD this
Stacie M I am baffled why you choose to bash those who find weddings and their rings to be crucial. Not everyone wants to own a damn farm or zoo in their house. And not everyone wants kids. 🤷♀️
NikkiNicole Hernandez1026
I would be happy living in a one room apartment as long as I had my husband and our kids with us. The home, the pets, the ring, the wedding...none of that matters to me in comparison to my husband and the three human beings we brought into this world.
Sharing my *opinion* regarding people who choose to find their happiness in other ways is not me bashing them. Whatever anyone does with their life - as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else - is 💯% golden with me. I see life differently, but that is, again, just my opinion.
Just as you sharing your thoughts regarding my children and "zoo" aka my pets (not all of which are living anymore...those are the pets we've had in our almost 20yrs of marriage...we are currently down to just one dog, two rabbits, and a guinea pig) was not meant to bash me - it was just your opinion 😉. You do you - whatever that may be.
BTW I know *most* people wouldn't want a snake or three dogs at once or a ferret...we took in animals that needed a home and a family because that's what we enjoy. Different strokes for different folks!
Stacie M And you don't think couples who spend so much on their wedding are happy because it's what they want! Instead of you saying you can't imagine why these couples spend so much on what their wedding??
NikkiNicole Hernandez1026
I'm sure they are very happy...but I find it hard to understand, just as you find my life hard to understand. There was no hostility or ill will in my post...as I said, you do you and we're all happy 😁.
If she gets upset about how much the ring costs, run the other way. She's not the one
Lol but what if she's upset because it cost so much?
diamonds are a scam anyway
Matias Sobarzo spot on 👍💍
Lol exactly fools dont get it.
They actually are. One of my teachers told me once diamonds are the biggest scam in the world. He said "they are not rare" which is true. There are millions of diamonds all throughout the world. Just because it takes a long time to create one doesn't mean they are rare
Trystan Woodard the rare myth was created by the diamond industry itself. If they are so rare then why are they everywhere in every country, every decent jewelry store, peoples finger and homes. Nothing rare about them, they are just hard to extract from the earth.
Expensive rings, cars and shoes. How much $$$ in the bank? Do you own the home you live in? Still paying school loans? Get your priorities straight before even considering marriage.
I insisted my partner get me a cheap ring as he was wanting an expensive one. I didn't see the point as i don't wear jewelery normally and i agree about it being about the message not the $$$$$
I would insist on a cheap ring as well as I also don't see the point and don't wear jewelry.
SAME !
Half of the people get nice things because they care more about what other people think.
People are just to darn materialistic.
James Antony of course it’s women
James Antony not all women I'm not materialistic at all for all my birthdays I didn't even want presents but my family just gave me money and cards and dolls when I was younger I played with it shoot I was bored sometimes
my husband just 3d printed me rings :)
Love is not about a ring. My ring cost less than 100$ we will be married in January for THIRTY awesome years. Don't let anyone shame you about your rings, they see beautiful and what they represent is even far more beautiful than any ring ever could be! May you have many loving years to come!
The fact that this is viral and considered “ inspirational” speaks volumes.
130 is expensive to me😂
We live in a very materialistic society and too much emphasis is placed on huge rings with huge price tags thanks to jewellers like De Beers and others who wanted to drum up business. My mother's engagement ring was second hand and was a pretty sapphire and diamond style and her wedding ring was also relatively cheap. They were married for 40+ years until my father's death. Go with what you want and what you can afford. It's not about the ring anyway.
I love this! Marriage isn’t about jewellery or big dresses or fancy weddings and a massive cake, it is a celebration and ceremony that celebrates 2 people who love eachother very much committing themselves to eachother for the rest of there lives!
You make You dress yourself .Thé family help to make thé cake and buffet .
You save Money for a future house. No honeymoon so...
if she says no to a ring because its too "cheap"
you probably dodged a bullet there
i love ring pops. ;)
Kay Nesbeth
Hahahahahahaha....hell yeah all flavors lol
Kay Nesbeth me too! but i would eat it all up and then i would be sad.
Yeah but after I eat it the ring will only mean I'm a greedy nutcase
Kay Nesbeth you got that from deadpool
I’ll take a green apples 🍏 ring pop and a little hula and I’m great 💑
We paid 99.00 for my engagement ring 33 yrs ago and now I wear my parents wedding rings. It means so much because I lost my father almost 20 yrs ago and I love them as much as my 100 ring, but most of all I love my husband so much.
"All about what they represent, not about what they cost" Truest thing I've ever heard👌💯
My ring was cheap but to me is priceless. Once I was with my fiance on holidays (I was young and stupid and went swimming with ring on) Ive lost my ring in sea and my boy found it there!!! He had to do some serious scuba diving!! Best boy ever 😍😍
You know you are broke when your first thought was "Oh wow $130? That's a lot of money to spend"
If you ask me $60.00 would've been good enough...
Scarlett Whisperer ASMR Why are you saying ewww?
Mrs. Random! She is cause the size and price matters more to her then her man.
Mimi Cutie So if a man can't buy an "expensive" ring it should keep him from marrying the woman he loves? It's not about the money. It's about the intent. People spend $40,000 on a wedding and end up divorced a year or two later.
Nah
That's true. I want a small wedding. What's the point I'm having a $500 ring?
boimackhead Not sure who you were directing your comment to to, but if it is to me, I married my childhood sweetheart whom I have known since we were 10 years old. We grew up next door to each other and we have two wonderful children; 22 years old and 19 years old. We eloped to beautiful South Lake Tahoe spending, $1,100 dollars for the ceremony and another $500 for a beautiful Marriott Honeymoon Suite. We have no regrets. Our marriage is solid and wasn't hinged on an expensive ring.
My man said he'd buy me an onion ring 😆 he was joking but still funny ❤
Why she outta breath tho
HHHHHHhhh
She's not, she's doing it so that she isn't stopping all the time during a sentence and she's able to get more words out.
I'm getting married next month and i was just online looking at rings and came across this video. I really wanted something simple and i'm glad I saw this.
Shadee Williams I think women feel pressured to have a pretty and massive ring and men feel pressured to provide it. I had a plain gold band. It really doesn't matter. Later I got an eternity ring and I thought I'd like a pretty solitaire, but chose a pretty plain gold band with diamonds set into it, so I wouldn't scratch my babies 😀 I like practical things 😊
Shadee Williams buy gold not rocks.
This reminds me of the picture of the ring with a Small diamond in it that said "would you say yes to a diamond this size?" And I shared it and said yes I would. And somebody commented and said "I wouldn't he better get me a ring that costs at least 1000" needless to say I unfriended her my man bought me a ring from Walmart that cost at most 150 and I couldn't care less.
When I got engaged my fiance took me ring shopping and got me a $200 walmart ring. We're married now and I'm still proud of my ring and always will be. Love and marriage is about so much more than material items. Shame on anyone who is selfish enough to turn a good man down because he isnt rich and is too smart to go into debt over a ring.
Tiffany Kellogg
Great words!! I am glad you are happy and have a good marriage!! Congrats!! The big picture is the ring doesn't matter as far as cost if you enjoy it and your marriage is healthy. Yet, some men and women choose to shop together and some women have dreamed of there ring since before meeting the love of their lives. These men necessarily aren't going into debt to purchase that ring and can still afford a lifestyle together too. Those men are equally as responsible who buy a more expensive ring, but can afford and choose to afford higher priced rings. They're more than happy to buy it to make their future wives happy. I believe nothing is wrong with either way as long as it comes from a genuine heart and you both love one another and are comitted and respect one another. Now, the heart behind it matters most!! Make sure the person is about you ladies and gents by Your friendship and love and buy what pleases you. Best!!
Scarlett Whisperer ASMR you are a nasty mean person & enjoys it don't you??
Sara Shaw If you didn't care why delete them?
NikkiNicole Hernandez1026 delete the person? Because I didn't want that kind of toxic person in my life.
I'm just 19yrs old so this might sound dump but if I get the opportunity then I would like to ask the question with a ring I made with my own hands (yea there are UA-cam videos for it but the process is slow and hardworking)
That is very sweet. :)
aewtx thank you
sweet
That’s unique
All rings are beautiful when they are given from the heart 😀
Been married for 13 years and still don't have a ring
"Look at me! I'm a decent human being!"
couldn't relate more, my wife has a 14000$ ring and we have been together for 2 days, love is love my friends.
We spent a bit more on my ring (not a ton thankfully), but I am an artist and love designing things. We were also given an heirloom ring that sadly was in too poor of shape to use (it was on its last leg on the bottom) so we used the stones from it. Small diamonds and sapphires that belonged to my husbands grandmother.
I didn't care to brag to the whole world like many do these days for how expansive it was, more like how creative can I get with the lowest price point and a high quality ringsmith (that probably is just not well known yet in his career). It was fun that way for the both of us.
We found a local lesser known family owned business and they showed they like going off the beaten path with what I was looking for (flowers, vines, leaves, etc...) and I gave them my Ideas and they delivered on them quite well. For me it was special and one of a kind. I get comments on it alot more than I thought.
Sadly I had to make the hard decision to merge the two together before getting married or risk troubles with flowers surrounding the simple engagement ring in the middle. My family saw it as taboo, but in the end the two rings would have most likely have been merged later with a worse effect. Tis life. Now it doesn't matter, it only did for 5 months.
A lifetime of hopeful happiness is more important than than a huge expensive engagement ring that doesn't matter after a divorce... or an expensive rental you have to return with a happy marriage that lasts.
Do what you love within reason, just don't spend the whole world to buy it, there be bills to pay after the fairytale wedding which hampers your future quite heavily. Try building a family or buying a home with $10,000 in debt to start out life..... sadly one regretful friend of mine did. Learned real quick I wanted to avoid that.
Knowing that, we paid in cash for our wedding from money we saved beforehand. just over $3000 for everything including the reception, food, the ring, flowers, and silk dress with hand embroidery (I made myself), etc......you get the idea. We didn't skimp on anything, we just got creative. Guests said it was the best reception they had been to so far, guess it pays to use what you have and make do. My kimono collection sure came in handy, my uncles christmas lights (for christmas light business) strung above like stars, and my mothers vintage glass party tray collection did as well for nice elegant touches.
I just think men should do the best they can according to their means. If your man buys you a 50 dollar ring when he's making good money, that's actually a little bit shameful and it'd be better for your dignity to gt married with no ring at all. On the other hand, if he's actually poor, its perfectly excusable.
My first ring was little diamond chips and cost $65. He had just got out of the Army and it’s all he could afford. On our 20th he bought me a 2 kt marquis.
My engagement ring and wedding band is only $8.88, 3 years of dating and married to my soulmate ❤
Thought I was the only one
diamonds is one of the biggest marketing scam
Priderice Rice just like bottled water lol
They are.
Return value is 10% initial cost of ring.

Were the diamonds in the ring GIA certified?
Jasmine Bonilla Doesn't matter. There's still no resale value on diamonds.
Tina Morris I bought my ring for $6,000 and my ring was appraised for $8,200 they said they would buy it right there. If you so your research and get a good quality one you may have better luck.
Jasmine Bonilla that's a lie unless you bought the 6000 ring used off Ebay lol but you're not buying a 6000 ring brand new from a jewelry store and then selling it and making a profit. Impossible...
J A a lie?
Lol my divorce costed $390,000
& still growing
Its public info.
-U freak!
Why is this news? lol some people buy silicone rings or wooden rings, which are way cheaper then $130 and yet you don’t see them on the news.
Purple Luma cause the lady who sold it her made fun of her
To be honest, 400 dollars are A LOT, for a damn metal ring.
No one takes their money to the grave. Materialistic people make me cringe.
You go girl!🙌💘
Agreed. I think I’d be happier if he proposed to me with a ring pop. I love candy! 😁
Adriana Noelle You're very attractive & I'm single, what's your favorite flavor? 😁
Mimi Cutie As genuine as it gets! Unlike some people the size or value of the ring doesn’t determine how much a person loves you.
Mimi Cutie Well, if you knew my husband you would know that he puts me before himself. And believe it or not, we are 100% just alike, same mindset, people have even said we look alike! I guess it’s true what they say, “when you’re born, you have someone who is specifically for you” he would spend any amount of money on me, but again, I’m not interested in material things. All I’m interested in is his love.
Mimi Cutie I’m sure you will. 😊
Adriana Noelle so if your man spends money on anything such as gaming, electronics, shoes, etc. and you are setting for a piece of candy as a ring??? You're a damn dumbass and a lying one at that. Don't act too cute because I'm sure if you met a man with wealth you would have taken an expensive ring.
weak up 90% of the world population can't afford a diamond ring!
Zulubal Andre This is true most men can't afford to just buy a expensive diamond ring.I would rather save up for a house or other stuff.
+Queen. Kristal really queen really you know you want that real housewives of Atlanta type ring 💍 boo boo imma man straight man at that and I like me some diamonds bling bling!
If you have a woman who complain about the engagement ring for not being big or expensive enough then you break off the engagement and leave her ass
I absolutely love her rings they are beautiful
That's true love doesn't cost a thing but I would feel some type of way if your tennis shoes or outfit cost more than my engagement ring😒
I wouldn't. I personally don't care about jewelry.
You don't even need a ring to get married specially to stay committed to your spouse.
I agree! If it's beautiful and you love it, and he gave it without being forced.
Most people i know don’t even have a wedding ring only the bands 🤷🏾♀️
Friend got a $10k ring and got divorced 2 years later. She's a normal nice woman not a gold digger. I have my grandmother's very small not fancy ring and my husband made his ring himself out of leftover titanium (he did metal work) and we got married in the woods with just the JP and 2 witnesses. We'll be married 5 years this year which isnt long but we're just getting started and we dont have money but we love each other.
Sarabeth when I read your husband made his ring my heart melted (no pun intended). Can you imagine passing that down one day to a child/grandchild or other family member knowing the positive energy and love that was used to create the piece? Can you imagine the thoughts that were going through his mind as he was making it? Such a wonderful story. Blessings to you both.
She should give the ring back, she no longer deserves it.
My husband and I both got our rings together for under $250? And my wedding dress was $99 dollars. Our entire wedding was just over $2000. Not too shabby!
I'm a little surprised that all people act like they found a new thing saying with diamondes don't show love's amount
A recent artist said in his song, if love cost nothing why do we pay thousands on a diamond ring. Deep, our society needs some restructuring.
My ring cost a little over $300. We found it Sam's club one day. It is beautiful and I get so many complements. It's 14k rose gold with diamond accents but the center stone is morganite. I'm a savy person and I'm always looking for ways to save money. My ring is a perfect representation of me and our relationship. He knows I would have been mad if he spent thousands of dollars on ring.
Ashley AZ Mom a
Morganite is beautiful but pretty soft. Not really a life time kind of stone. When you have to replace it, I recommend moissanite :)
Best wishes for your marriage.
That's news? My grandma and grandpa, and my parents also have a 50$ simple gold wedding band each (and no engagement rings), and my grandparents were married for 60 years and my parents are still married for 30 years. My grandparents didnt wear their rings because they feared they would get lost and they didnt have enough money to buy new ones in case that would have happened. They wore them only on their wedding day and then put them in a box, in their closet for safe keeping. When my grandpa died, at 89, my grandma decided she would give grandpa's wedding ring to one of her sons and her ring to the other son (my father). My father then gave it to me and I now wear it on my necklace everyday.
I got my wedding ring for 125 at a pawn shop. For me, it represented that even though someone else had a marriage fail, I could try to keep ours. It was like a redemption for the ring. Sadly, my husband wanted me to keep my pre-children body and left me with two amazing boys a mother could ever want. I might have gained 40 pounds in motherhood, but I lost 180 the day he left.
When my husband and I got married I didn’t get a ring , love is definitely not measured in how big the diamond is, we have been married for 20 years now and two kids later I do have a ring, nothing fancy because that’s not what’s important to me
congratulations. Love have no prices.
I love my fiance so much and no ring value could replace the I love I have for her. The ring I'm going to buy her is just a symbol of my love for her. I am going to marry her this December and I've been eating top ramen at work to save up for our wedding. I never thought I find the love of my life. She's beautiful inside and out. I am the luckiest man!
How are you guys doing now?
@@supernova11711 great!!! We have a boy and a girl. 😁 thank you for asking!!
@@GrillWasabi Awe!!! Congratulations 😊
@@supernova11711 Thank you😊
This is beautiful! Been waiting 7 years for my guy to understand that I don't NEED an expensive ring...😔Yet...I wait. He says I "DESERVE" what he feels I deserve. Smdh I just want to be his WIFE. 💍
@Zoe Amber 😭
No offense but hes just stalling, sis. If he wanted to marry you, he would have done so at this point. 7 years..now it's 9 years! I hope you walked if you didn't get married yet. Don't do wifely things for a man who is not your husband.
He just don't want to marry you sis sorry!
absolutely. . love isn't about ring 💍
I'm gonna be honest. I don't care if my ring is inexpensive, but I sure hope he chooses something to my taste. Sorry for being materialistic 🙄
ALLYOUCANEAT wtf?? You are not being materialistic girl! That's your RIGHT and it's natural to hope the ring is pretty! 😬😌I think it's just all apart of the adrenaline rush when getting married...it's normal.
I understand the point she trying to get across but my man better not give me no ring pop.
True love is about what's in your heart..❤❤Thank you..

I care about the ring but not the price tag 😂 nowadays you can buy a sterling silver ring with cubic zirconia that costs about $10 and it will look like it cost thousands of dollars. Trust me , I have a jewelry box full of them.
Best Gamer75 _ I'm sory but there's nothing like the real thing.
+cutie pie whatever makes you happy..
cutie pie
Research the scam diamond companies made. "The real thing" is worthless.
Nope it will get cloudy and then everyone can tell but you can buy a lab created diamond ring. But it’s gotten so popular that they are making it expensive. Still you’ll pay 10,000 for a real diamond ring verses 2-3 thousand for lab created.
cutie pie well diamonds are not precious stones. They are a dud investment. At least gold will appreciate in value. Diamond does nothing for it. It’s like flushing money down the toilet.
400.00 ring, 27 yrs ago? Thats really not cheap.
My engagement ring was $10 and, and my wedding ring was $50 (30yrs ago) I was so ignorant then I even ask what is for engagement ring, because I didnt even know that there is and required a ring. So happy about it.
this a real one right here. wish we had more of her.
I agree I rather have a man that works hard ,put his blood sweat and tears into my ring .Opose to a expensive ring from a man that he bought with ease and isn't even worth my time .My husband asked me if I wanted a ring at Zales,Kay's diamonds in the mall .He had his tax check and I knew we needed it to move and furnish our near home .I told him that Walmart would do without any hesitation .He laughed and said are you serious . He was a great guy and I would have taken a cubic zurconia ring from the ten dollar rolling display at Walmart any day That's just me .No wonder these women cant stay married these days they are to materialistic . Let me say this then I'm out your man might spend a few thousands , hundred thousands or a cool million but at the end of the day will it last ? Answer possibly not because take a close look at the celeberties of today all races and do the math .This is such a breathtaking video and the woman who actually stepped up and spoke up to defend her ring against these nieve people should win a medal for best speech of "The Act Of Realness Award"
My husband bought me a 108.00
.25 solitaire engagement ring from Walmart 14 yrs ago. Yes we are still married. He couldve given me a ring pop and i wouldve been happy. The wedding bands are a different story, but i want women to know my man is taken.
My husband made my ring from wood... I like it.
If a man proposes to me with something less than a ring pop then I’ll reject him. Diamonds are nice and all but you can eat ring pops.
Materialistic people make me sick! My husband got my engagement ring for $30 that included a matching necklace. It was my birth stone, it meant the world to me! I don't care for gifts I have my husband by my side with our two beautiful children. It's sad that people can't understand what that's like.
You’re extremely ignorant.
Truth... materials isn't what I want. I thought I found the love of my life but after almost 18 years with him, he changed his heart....but I have 2 beautiful teens that love me dearly...
K TT maybe you changed your shape and he’s still in love with the shape you had 18 years ago. Sometimes, you just didn’t know which part your man in love with, time proves everything.

I didn't change at all. I'm 5.5 and 115 pounds. I did everything as a wife and a mother would do.
I don't really care.
Rachel X that's such an embarrassing response wow haha. If your just 'in love' with someone's body you weren't in love to begin with.
L S well, basically I meant maybe she didnt know him enough when they got married. it takes time to find out who they really are. People represent themselves the best side when they were in love, and hide their true ugly side. so 1 case: He maybe didnt change at all, but his true self just always loves young beautiful gals which she didnt know. another case: he has changed by money or environment or other people.
My wife and I could soo relate. J lo wasn't kidding when she said love don't cost a thing. Thank you God for bringing this beautiful women into my life.
Me: "Babe what flavor ring pop do you want"
Lmao! So many marriages end in divorce anyway! I bet her marriage will last longer than hers! Haha!
YaniJiménez My first engagement ring was $88 from Walmart. My late husband and I were married 14 years and 4 days. Through thick and thin, good and bad, till death us do part.
Why so negative?
So true, relationships and marriage are for suckers!
It doesn't matter the price of a ring but if a guy could spend large amount of money on name brand shoes; everytime they are released; therefore, he has that kind of money to spend on ring.
Lashelle -you're a keeper!
If he buys his woman the expensive shoes, cars, and clothes, it shouldn't matter how much the ring costs. I don't know alot of women who spoil their men anyway.
Lashelle Except a ring has no practical use.
Lashelle I knew it would a minority chick would be the one making this statement. Typical
Mike Mike a minority man would also reply as you did. See how that sounds. 😖
You mean we're suppose to base love on the commitment and long term strength of our relationship and not on the materialistic possessions and opportunities we can gain from our high net worth partner?........GTFOH Y'all almost had me HAHAHAHAHA
$100.00 from a pawn shop. Absolutely in love with my ring, and am proud to show it off!
