Today, while shopping at American Eagle, I found the same "$1,500" wedding ring my fiancé proposed to me with, marked on sale for $10.95. FML

ok so a lit of ppl say why so materializing ad blah.... if a guy can't afford an engagement ring that's atleast a couple if hundred dollars because if a shitty job then get a promise ring. if he has a shitty job and can't afford it then maybe it's not the right time to get married and possibly start a family. its not the price it's the fact that if he can't afford at least a couple of hundred dollar ring then how will he be able to afford a family. my ring was $500!!!! he wanted a ring that was 1600$ but i chose the $500 one cuz I fell in love with THAT ring not in love with a $1600 price!

I don't feel people should avoid getting married due to finances. it didn't stop me from getting married. now haveing children, that's a different story.

214 - I agree. I'm unlike most women in that I don't have a "dream wedding" planned out per se; I do have a few ideas of what I want, but it's not super extravagant like they show in movies or on TV. It doesn't have to be expensive; I know a couple who got married downtown in city hall! I know that's not the "dream marriage" everyone seems to want, but it's still a marriage. Throw a party after at a swanky hall or something to offset the "cheapness", if you want to call it that. There are options! Having a kid, however, will definitely be expensive and hard to deal with in these economic times... to all those wanting to get married, make sure you're positive you want to marry the man/woman you're with before you actually marry them. If you want to save money, avoid divorce. From what I hear, it's ridiculously expensive.

I think you mean "dream wedding". Also... you're talking about not having an expenisve wedding, but, to compensate, have a party at a "swanky hall". If you're "compensating" so that it isn't cheap... then it won't be cheap. Why do people insist on voicing their opinions when they haven't even thought them through? Is it that you crave attention?

everyone who is generalising and saying women are materialistic needs to shut up with the sexism. the cost of the ring isn't the point, the point is that he told a huge lie to make himself look good and make her feel like she owes him. if he'd been honest and told her he was broke shed have been happy with the honesty and the cheap ring- most women would. guys who pretend to be something they're not are bad news, its all a ploy to get a woman attatched to him before he reveals how unpleasant he really is. dump him now op!

Maybe it's a replica. Don't be so quick to judge! That said, being materialistic doesn't get you far.
