when I proposed to my wife, I was skint, I bought a ring for £15, but it wasn't the size or the cost of the ring that mattered I just felt that I needed that part of the proposal to do it properly. Spoiler: she said yes. In time I got a pay rise, things improved for me and I went out an bought a more expensive ring to replace the original one. She didn't ask me to, she didn't need me to, I just wanted to do it. couple of years later we got married, and next year is our 10 year wedding anniversary. we don't have much, but in a way, because we love each other, we have everything.

My husband proposed to me with an origami ring. I said yes

I don’t wanna say gold digger, but...

My fiancé proposed to me with his grandmothers ring, whom which had passed away recently. His mother, uncle, aunt and basically everyone else, had approved of him proposing with that ring. He got the ring resized and 2 tiny middle diamonds, out of the 4 tiny diamonds, taken out and replaced with green diamonds because he knows green is my favourite colour. I've never felt so lucky in my life to be presented by such an amazing form of love and I can't wait to marry the love of my life in 2020. Here's a picture of the engagement ring.

When all you think about are the things you want, you'll never be satisfied with what you have.

My engagement/wedding ring is a $500, small cute little diamond, that I picked out. My hubby begged me to pick something bigger but I didn't want to. I would have rather spent the money on a vacation. We've been married 8 years now and he still asks me once in awhile if I want a new ring. I always say no.

The shallowness of some women never ceases to amaze me.

I mean my husband proposed to me with ring pops 🤷‍♀️Don’t understand why people need to have giant a*s diamond rings. If your that materialistic that you’d rather worry about a damn rock then the sentimental value of the act a loved one is carrying out, then you probably aren’t ready for marriage.

The fact that "ring shaming groups" even exist is appalling.

Her ring looks like my 10 year Anniversary ring. Ma'am. Be happy with what you are given. It's the thought that counts.

Two wtf things here: There's a ring shaming group and this woman is a trash bag. I *really* hope the bf saw her post and dumped her like a bag of rocks.

A girl could propose to me with a ring made of goddamn plastic and I would cherish it like it's my soul.

She is in for a rude awakening when she finds out what marriage is really about! It is hard work but worth it. It is real life and good times and bad times and nothing about marriage is shallow and superficial like worrying about what ring you get proposed to with. I feel sorry for her marriage if she goes into it with that attitude because it will be hard to make it last. Unless that's what the guy loves about her, I guess.

My bf could literally propose to me with no ring lying next to me in bed and it would make me so happy I don't understand what the hell is wrong with these people who feel the need to shame the person they "love" into buying something more expensive for them.

My wife helped me pick out her ring. It's a lovely white gold ring with a 1.5K stone that happens to be CZ and only cost a couple hundred dollars. No one can tell it from a real diamond, and we used the rest of the money it would have cost as down payment on a house. Thirteen years later, we're still happy together. feeling compelled to sink a fortune into a ring is part of the DeBeers marketing strategy; not something that intelligent people would do on their own.

Even if she doesn't like it, doesn't mean she has the right to be an a*s online. Hope he finds out and dumps her. On different note, I have a 3-stone ring in a classic carved platinum band which I absolutely love. He had great taste and she doesn't. 😜

i know someone like this (a relative, actually). husband bought her an 'upgrade' to the ring she currently had (for Christmas, no less!). She didn't like it & made him get her something 'better' (bigger). they are still together (as far as i know) after more than 30 yrs, but i lost some respect for him for caving in. materialistic people are way down on my list of folks to include in my inner circle...

WTF is a ring shaming group? Seriously, stop the world I want to get off.

I didn't even get a ring at the proposal, we only got rings for the wedding (and they were something around 300 euro's, combined, not a piece) I really don't understand the need to spend thousands on a ring (unless you're rich, of course)

Shame on her; picky lady. 1. You snooped. 2. You assumed alot. 3. You were ungrateful. 4. You posted your disapproval on a public forum. 5. You judged him. 6. You asked absolute strangers shame his gift of love on a public forum. 7. Its no one elses business, but now you know how the "world" sees and judges your attitude, judgment, and actions. 8. You showed Major disrespect for both the man you think you will marry, and his intended gift. Its a lovely ring, but it seems that you are clearly not ready to make a life-long comittment to This man. I hope he never places this ring on your finger until you have had a Major attitude adjustment, and sincerely apoloized to him; in person, and as publically as you have disrespected him and his gift.

I think you should just appreciate ANY ring

Excuse me? That guy went out and beyond to get you a damn ring, pretty expensive, and you act like a doosh when it might not be for you? You just say no like that because of a ring? My father gave my mother a $.50 ring, only 50 cents. Clearly my mother was more than happy. It isn't some damn ring that matters, it's your connection. I bet that guy worries because of you. So shut up and learn to be grateful. No one is made of money. We are made of love.

My mom got an engagement ring 10 years after my parents were married. My father couldn’t afford one when he proposed. Some women are too greedy for their own good.

God my ring was string...I loved it. Especially since he said that it symbolized the thing holding us so tightly together. He’s calls it “the string of love” and it’s the strongest thing out there :). Of course we did get real rings later. But I still love it.

f**k these broads for ring shaming. Just be happy he wants to spend the rest of his life with you...you ungrateful c*nt bag.

I'm not sure if I'm more disgusted by this woman or by the fact that a ring shaming group is a thing?! I hope that the ring isn't for her but shouldn't the guy already be aware that he's dating a total douche.... My boyfriend could propose without a ring, with a piece of string or a plastic and I'd be happy. Why are some people so materialistic. "I'm better than you, I have a bigger diamond" UGH!

And that's another man changing his FB-status to single.

Are you alright title guy? No "And the Internet shut her down"? Do you need any kind of help? Are you going through a phase?

My husband proposed to me on a whim, didn't have a ring, made me a ring on the spot with braided twine, waxed it so it wouldn't itch until we could get to the store together, still got it, it is willed to the grandchild that admired it!

TBH, I wouldn't want an engagement ring with a diamond, and I'd expect anyone proposing to me to know that about me. If someone went down on one knee with a ring box, I'd be shaking my head..... not because of the size of the diamond, but because that person doesn't know me well enough to commit to a life together. And I'm thinking, the guy whose ring this is, doesn't know this lady as well as he needs to.

I remember when my husband got my engagement ring and I showed it to my 2 best friends. They looked at it and jokingly said "where is it?". This was in the 60s and he was in the army and didn't make but about $149.00 a month. It looked just like this one only on a much smaller scale. I couldn't figure out what they meant. I was just 18 and thought it was beautiful. That was 50 1/2 years ago and we're still married. Just goes to show you don't need a huge diamond to be happy. Mary T.

And then they have the nerve to wonder why Men don't want to get married anymore.
