Today, because my fiancé is criminally incompetent at budgeting, I'm now having to pay the first installment for my own wedding ring. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML
Today, I had to sell my wedding ring to help me pay for my divorce. FML
Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over two hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML
Today, my fiancé pawned off my engagement ring so he could buy himself a PS4. FML
Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend, who is buying me a ring for my birthday, is buying my best friend a ring that cost 10 times more than mine. FML

I understand how love is a complicated thing, but something in your brain has GOT to be saying this is a bad start and is probably a sign of how things are going to be going forward.

You chose to say yes, OP.

Not a good start to marriage. That's the kind of thing that's a deal-breaker.

Sorry to hear that OP, but my advice is to take over all finances now while you can. My dad did not do this though my mother is beyond awful with money and we spent years in debt. Even if you hope they'll get better at budgeting, still continue controlling it. Better to be debt free with money under control instead of digging a hole deeper. Good luck.

That's a bad, bad, bad, bad sign. Take it from one who knows. I would postpone the wedding, then I'd cancel it.

I've been married for almost 3 years, engaged 5 years ago, and we still owe absolutely everything on both rings, because my income is all we've got, and I can only make the minimum payment every few months. Same boat...

This will sounds harsh but do you honestly want to be with someone like this? For the rest of your relationship the financial problems will only get worse. Are they really worth all that financial stress and mess
