Sana...this thread is bringing back lots of memories for me!

My diamond was not bought at Walmart, but our wedding bands were bought at K-mart (14k, not 10k LOL) and we got married in City Hall, had a one night stay in Cherry Hill for our honeymoon and then Stromba had to go back to work while I set up our new appartment...barely any furniture, no couches, just pillows on the floor and a small TV and record player in our living room. The only room that really had much furniture was our bedroom...a round bed that I brought with me from home with unmatched dressers. That first Christmas we still didn't have furniture but we had borrowed my mom's Christmas tree, which was huge and it took up about a quarter of the room. We didn't have much but we sure were happy! :)

I know what your saying my parents paid for our wedding with some help from hers. They did a real good job for what they could pull together.
our honeymoon was a day at Bushgardens. We young and flat broke. We bought a mobile home from a freind who was being trafered to a new duty station. A three bedroom. The only furniture we had was a futon, a couch my grandmother gave us, a bed that was a wedding girt from my sister-in-law, and a dresser. for the few monthes I was still in the Marines we lived on Ramon noodles and PB&J.
We didn't have much but we had each other and that made us happy.

Thinking back to those times is nice sometimes I forget how it was back then and we take what have now for granted.
When I get home Betty is getting a big :kiss:.

I hear ya. I've been married for 14 years now and it just keeps getting better. We were married with a very small candlelight wedding. We had a 20 piece Chicken Mcnuggets for our Wedding dinner and our Honeymoon was in a Ryder moving van bound for Washington State from Vermont. I wouldn't change a thing today.:)

like i said in the post above, i was browing walmart's website and looking at rings like that spurred the question.

it was kinda like that episode of sex and the city, where aidan was gonna propose to carrie. it wasn't even necessarily about the ring, but about knowing who she is almost.

if he can't afford a ring, i'd almost prefer not to have one and just get married at city hall and have my wedding band on without an engagement "diamond".

but no worries, no poor asshole is getting shafted by me, i'm just trying to stir convo here - seemed kinda quiet in here to me :p

Gotcha.....It just seemed that way from the post...lol...Whew!!...I was really feeling for this supposed guy I "thought" you were talking about. I still feel that it is all good when someone is expressing love...Even if it is just $300 at Walmart....BTW...Good job stirring things up....lol.....:spank:

that's a quarter carat and i think it was like $300 from walmart.

i know it's silly to ask, but i was just browsing walmart's jewelry section and saw it and the question came to me.

when i thought about it, i almost felt as if i'd rather not have a ring if it were going to be that size. i'd rather just wear a wedding band, never realized i was so shallow :bawl:

Yeah, you're pretty much scum for being that shallow. :sillyfu:

I'm sitting on the chair and Faith was giving me and a couple of others lap dances and stuff last night. Her ass was red but she was asking for it harder. 2004 is off to a good start! :D

[jipped genes]

sweety when my wife and i got together that was nice compared to what she got.
she has a new one now that it 10 times bigger than that. i was a poor bastard in love. i am damn glad she took the little one

[smallbutgrowin]

Lots of hard working people would be proud of that ring.Please dont put down the poor.I hate to see someone step on the little man.Im ready to slap the shit out of someone right now.

I guess that depends on who gave it to you.

My wifes engament ring is tiny. I was in the Marines at the time and brought home less than $600 a month so I couln't get any thing real big and nice. She loves it still the same, wears it everyday and has even told a few people off for saying it was small.

If i was her i would tell those ppl who comments about how small it was ''

that if it wasnt for her husband that they prob would not have the freedom to speak there mind about it...

God Bless you bro...

Well i might as well tell you all my story...

i asked my girlfriend of 5+ years to marry me last summer...

Ofcourse she said yes!!.....i gave her a fake ring that day...it was big...but fake......

a few days before i gave her the fake ring i called her bestfriend to let her in on this....i told her friend that after my girlfriend showed her the ring...i wanted her to tell my girlfriend to take it somewhere that would tell her how much it was worth for insurence reasons!!

she did...they told her it was fake and only worth a few bucks....

so i waited...and waited...and waited for my girlfriend to bring this up....well after about 2 weeks she didnt say one thing about it....

I took her back to the place where i asked her to marry me....sat her down and told her the whole story....i told her that because she didnt complain or make one comment about the fake ring showed me that she really loved me....

then i got back down on one knee....asked for her hand...and gave her a 11k ring....


When my girlfriend got with me i was a poor man..right out of highschool....she was poor as well...a med student that spent all her money on school and books....

6 years later ...we are still together....she will grad. in may and be a Doc. ...I own my own bizz and work another union job....we will never have to worry about money again.....but that doesnt even matter....

we were just as happy eating at wendys and driving in my VW corrado as we are now eating at good place and driving 60k SUV's


I dont care if you make 25k a year or 125k a year...if u was going to ask ur girlfriend to marry her and gave her that ring and she bitched....then she should be curbed pronto...

Oh ya...she still wears the fake one...

[TrippersGirl]

that's pretty :) I'm jealous grrrrr

[Hollywood]

I think that ring is beautiful! I would be overwhelmed with happiness if the right guy gave it to me, I like smaller rings anyways, I don't like really big, gawdy ones. I like some big diamonds, but I think I would prefer something small and simple like that, maybe the wedding band itself could have small diamonds all the way around it, that would make the ring look a lil' bigger:) It's still very pretty though IMO:kiss:
