Listening to the radio this morning while driving to work and there was a girl on *****ing about how she didn't get a very large engagement ring. She said she did the math based on 3-4 month's salary and the guy should have spent 20k on the ring and what she got was something very small. Naturally she was also comparing it to her friends that have received bigger rings. She was going to bring it up to her man over the weekend and report back. Sounds like BSC to me. Even the radio folks were calling her petty.
I spent 4k on an engagement ring about a year out of school which at the time was decent amount of money for me. That deal fell apart due to long distance and luckily I knew the jeweler who actually took it back for nearly full price. Nowadays, I figure I'll just get the small ring and she can get a bigger on our 10 year anniversary or something. Hell my dad didn't even give my mom a ring until their 25th anniversary.
