My wedding band cost $14 at Target more than 10 years ago. My husband's was $11.

Grandpa got grandma a ruby engagement ring. She made him return it and get a cherry wood dining room set.
suckstoyourauntie
I told my bf I didn't want a diamond, ladies at work told him I didn't mean it. I don't wear it, only the wedding band. Such a waste.
CaptinKaos
Will you marry me @loganellizabeth?

Millennials are killing the artificially overvalued carbon blood rocks mined with slave labor industry.
ImKindaDone
Now *THAT* is a contribution to the world.
nicilaskin
we decided together to get married , no engagement needed ... that was 20 years ago
CosplayComet
good news on the nugget front...!!!
HillOfBeans
You’ve got the ring- now who are you going to propose to?
shyriath
HillOfBeans
Better get more nuggets
secretoaster
I proposed to my wife with a ring made out of dandelion.

I bet some of those posts complaining about small rings are astroturfing
SmashySashimi
Don’t waste the nugget! Eat it. Use a straw wrapper instead.
BaddyOneShoe
A straw? I'm not marrying a person who wants to murder sea turtles. I want a ring fashioned from human flesh.
SmashySashimi
Paper straws come in paper wrappers too. Raw meat molds and formaldehyde isn’t so good for you, but you do you.
BaddyOneShoe
Good points. I stand corrected.
BlackCatSerenade99900
No pretzels for me. I demand a twenty piece from Popeyes and Mexican Ice Cream. Have some standards bitches!!
vodkaho
My wife agreed to marry me... But did ask for a better ring. I was ok with it, and it's been 29 years now.
Fishkeeper
Diamonds are scams. Get a nice ring on Etsy for the price of a couple dinners out.
SmokyDoggg
Save the money use it to go to a nice place for your honeymoon. Rings have artificial value. Nobody can put a price on good memories.
ImKindaDone
we never did rings. neither of us like the idea of shackles.
DerbyDad03
We did that. Cheap rings and a great honeymoon. She lost hers years ago, mine's been hanging in my workshop for 38 years. Still in love.
hannahbutnotreally
We did "×" tattoos on our ring finger. Small, simple, cheap and easy to laser off if we ever decide we hate each other. It's been 13yrs and-
hannahbutnotreally

I'm a chick who's a software engineer and about to close on my first house. LF someone to give that chicken nugget to. I go both ways ?

Hot damn, what an offer! Well I assume that’s a good offer, I don’t have a banana to measure it

DM me if you want. Korean guys are hot.

My now husband casually proposed during a road trip on a highway. We still don't have rings :D
ImKindaDone
Rings are stupid.
NergalJester
I asked my wife over a plate of Zaxby's chicken wings. We'd already planned the wedding & honeymoon, just forgot to do the actual proposal.
DamnedIfYouDo
Honestly, forget expensive rings and weddings, just be together. Just enjoy a 50 yr marriage, not a 4 hr wedding.
nero4ty2
4hours?!? That party goes on for days!
basicisaac
Most people don’t have “an heirloom Diamond engagement ring” because this bullshit was invented by global blood Diamond cartel very recently
Lightsmith
Never understood people's fascination with tiny stones.
Masonrig
My wife and I are HELLA forgetful and clumsy, so we bought like 50 tungsten rings in bulk. They were like $2/peice and are lovely.
thricebakedxyz
Lost original wedding ring and replaced with tungsten many years ago when not so popular - was 700. Still get a compliments on it.
Masonrig
No stress if you lose one, and makes for an excellent fidget that reminds me of her.
shanasphone350
Just love me, respect me, and be honest. Return would be priceless. A ring has no feelings. You caring priceless
feymarch
If a dude's gonna spend that kind of money regardless, I'd want to get us (US) a gaming rig, ofc. Otherwise a cheap band for both is fine.
mucotevoli
Our generation has woken up to the diamond scam
Justy311
I see this and my first thought is "So uh... did he get the 'hint'? Or is he still clueless?"
adrianontherocks
Eh it’s not always a hint. I just sent this to my partner but I’m aware he doesn’t want to get married until after he finishes his degree.
R100GSPD
You were angling for snacks weren't you?
adrianontherocks
That’s a totally reasonable guess and probably would be accurate except he’s out of town all week :( so I get no snacks from him.
Justy311
True, but you sent this as a meme you identified with. You didn't write the original. The original just seems like she's saying 'WIFE ME' XD
Vatafeo
she needs to go buy a pretzel and propose to him if you ask me
adrianontherocks
Maybe he proposed with a pretzel the next week :D
Justy311
Nice! Pretzels are sturdy. Good choice!
EroticZombiePants
Those pics are useful for telling you who's a shallow bitch that you shouldn't date.
gamblingpoet
The only "AITA for not liking the ring my fiance bought me" i agreed with was when he bought one that was huge, gaudy and painful to wear.
gamblingpoet
She posted a picture and it was a huge heart shaped band that dug into the sides of her other fingers and cut them up something fierce.
spiritussancto
right!? these people are privileged AF. all i want is someone who loves me and treats me decently
tumantorak
Remember guys: a good guide is the ring should cost about three months' worth of Chicken McNuggets combos.
pennypoohbear
Guys? I'm a girl and I'm telling you that it's time for the women to step up and spend the cheddar getting the ring
080080
412 mcnuggets x 90 days ÷ 20 mcnuggets * $5 = $9,270 for the ring.
Jakkerak
Why...why did he get paralyzed?!
rusrsdude
The chickens attacked him from the inside, Trojan style

I really hope you used your finger to make that...
Gobjin

Ochodedos

FTUG
What is that in bananas?
kittenpettingfool
How much is 3 months worth tho? Lmao is it like 5 per day? Lol
StillWorkingTitle
Combo?? I don't have combo money!
msgbubba
Let's say you had 1 10 piece combo a day for 3 months, assuming it's 90 day at an average price of $6.49 per, it would be about $584.10
mieper3
no you misunderstood, you take ALL your incomes past 3 months, before taxes, and then buy as MANY chicken nugget combos you can get for that
msgbubba
For me that would be 2793 combos
Cindex1337
Funny enough, that's about what I got my wife's ring for. It's an antique, no diamond but pure gold. She loves it!
SpartanwithaSkirt
Luckily, on average I have less than 1 chicken nugget a month, so my three month budget is gonna be real cheap
cow042
I cant remember last time I had a chicken nugget
ChickenFingerFingers
Chicken strips count. Those are just adult chicken nuggets.

In this economy? That's more expensive than the diamond.

It’s how you prove your love.

If you are in love you shouldn't have to prove it
PapiChuloNumeroUno
Oh yeah? Prove it.

We need Matlock on the scene here, it’s getting tricky
ICanSeeYourPixels1
Congratulations you fell for the scam diamonds are monopolized to make em seem "rare" and make people think it's a proof of love.
ICanSeeYourPixels1
You can find a lot of diamonds substitutes that are way more shiny and look way better
tumantorak
I was talking about McNuggets.

In 1947, the agency (De Beers) commissioned a series of portraits of “engaged socialites.” The idea was to create prestigious “role models.”
justyourfriendlyneighborhoodimgurian
And here I am, with my silicone ring. I have all the cool colors, too!
applesforjuice
My ex who I lived with and the closest I've ever been to marrying someone was smart and said definitely don't want a diamond
CoqRoq
Netflix and Vice have a show, Explained, that does a fascinating and infuriating deep dive into diamonds and the BS associated with them.

I would just like to go on the record and say, fuck DeBeers

I will fry you up an onion ring with a slave free guarantee. That’s a promise!

xUnrealRealityx
Indeed. With a flaming chainsaw wrapped in rusty barbed wire.
spiffylookingnerfherder
That's a terrible, irresponsible thing write. Barbed wire in a chainsaw poses significant risk of harm to the chainsaw operator.
eggmuffin
It's a custom build, the chain is replaced with razor wire. It also has a nozzle on the front for dispensing salt and alcohol.
KPuff
They also made diamonds out to be SUPER rare which they are not. There are many gemstones more rare and not even a fraction of the cost.
JackieTreehornProductions
diamonds aren't rare, but the control of the supply into the retail space very much is the point along with the grading game BS
Ajdamus
What is more rare and cost fraction?
eggmuffin
Off the top of my head: Emerald, sapphire, opal, aquamarine, ruby, topaz, and likely a dozen more.
Ajdamus
These are rare? Bro, i have opals etc for few bucks in my collection for years. Topaz and sapphire? These are not rare.
eggmuffin
Rarer than diamonds. Rarity =/= price. DeBeers is a cartel that has been inflating the price of a single product for over a century.
KPuff
https://www.gemsociety.org/article/ten-gemstones-rarer-than-diamond/
KPuff
Don't have price points for all, but are easily googled
imoutofnames
Dianonds are a scam but price isn't solely dictated by rarity. If no one wants it then it doesn't matter if there is only 1 or a million.
Ajdamus
Tanzanite usually cost even more than diamond soooo:D
Mechwarrior719
They’re also the ones that came up with the whole idea that the ring should be 3 times your monthly salary. They’re a freakin racket.
PirateArrrgument
Diamonds are as common as dirt where they're moved from.
TheMadOnion
If I ever manage to save up that much I'd be using it to buy a newer car. She can drive it to the nearest Dollar tree and pick out a ring.
applesforjuice
My coworker grew up in the village from the movie Blood Diamond. He owns land there with diamonds on it but he would rather farm
StraightToCatFolder
The sell for men was that diamonds are an investment that hold value. They do not.
Mechwarrior719
That several-thousand dollar engagement ring from Big Name Jeweler? Probably has a few hundred in gold and the same in diamonds, at best.
jtc316131415
If that was the case, then it'd be worth it since craftsmanship has value as well. The problem is that the diamonds shouldn't be worth that
Thresholdpush
Yep. An arbitrarily contrived "scarcity" to fool people into thinking diamonds are rare/valuable. Played people's egos against themselves.
Srcsqwrn
Starve the ego.
Cthulhuonabike
We can quite literally manufacture diamonds and the only thing that makes them stand out as fake is that they are too perfect to be natural
davegur
Lab grown diamonds have blemishes and inclusions, too.
Cthulhuonabike
But not as much as natural ones
Ajdamus
To be fair - lab grown diamond are also costly. Ain t cheap to simulate milions of years of nature

I asked my bf if he’d be comfortable with that and he said no, he wants to ask…. He ain’t ready I don’t think ?

lol, Some guys are wired that way. Me I didn't give a fuck who asked.

That's so awesome, and congratulations. Mine asked me during a mental breakdown. I said no; she moved out instead of getting treatment.

Same, 23 years back, they are good for that.
RatBits
I was the one who proposed to my husband! The question came out super casually, over dinner. His reaction:
ElGatoMx
But does he call you " Brown Bear"?
RatBits
It was much easier than trying to artificially create the "right moment". There wasn't any planning, the timing and mood just worked.

I hear ya! My husband and I have tungsten carbide rings because they are relatively cheap and durable, and they look nice enough.
Billy2sweet
How did they fall off your cock?
BatLadyRielle
I (also a btgw) proposed with a titanium ring, and our wedding rings are tungsten carbide with gold filigree. $130 for both.

I got a tungsten ring for $99. So far I haven't lost mine but it is easy to replace as well.
