Proposal, Engagement ring, Romantic and Love: Swoon

Swoon

Today, my boyfriend said he wanted to marry me. Since he doesn't know my ring size, he asked for me to find a ring that I liked, and he would buy it and propose. The only problem is that he won't spend more than 200 dollars on it. Oh, the generosity. 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, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML

Classy guy

Today, my boyfriend and I were looking at engagement rings. When the store owner asked about our budget, my boyfriend said with a straight face, "Nothing too expensive, I have a big penis so I don't have to overcompensate by buying a big diamond." FML

It's about the love, not the ring.

$200 is way more than you should spend on a ring anyway. YDI for valuing the ring over the love!

Lol seriously OP? For my engagement ring we used a ring pop because it was a funny memory. And for my wedding ring I found an inexpensive silver band because I rather use the money for something we needed rather than just something to look at. The ring is a symbol it doesn't have to be expensive.

My boyfriend's family deals with precious and semi-precious stone, and for Christmas he gave me the sapphire that's going to be the stone on my ring when he asks me, I don't care how much my setting is, I'm just happy he wants to marry me. Even though he wants to wait 7 years.

Seriously I'll never get why a ring has to be sooooo expensive... you have a ring, be ******* grateful that someone is in love with you and wants to share their life with you. You really want to put a price tag on that?
