Just toying with the idea here. I am thinking about proposing in the next year and I never expected I would be in this position.

My sister was just proposed to and dude must have spent like 10 grand on the ring. I think she feels like he spent too much. It looks like the friggin thing weighs her whole hand down.

Also do you think it is misogynist to ask the lady’s dad for permission?

    I’m French. No more than $500, anything higher would be crazy. I don’t understand this American thing to spend 10 years of salary on a ring, and my wife does not understand that either.

    No, it’s cute. Do it!

      The rule of thumb was three months’ salary. But that was invented by the diamond industry.
