Rings can get way out of hand. We took more the farmers approach to it. My band is simple white gold, I think it was $75 or so? My wifes band has a very,very nice diamond, but smaller, I think a little over 1/2 carrot? Also white gold. Still, our whole set was under $1k. We have better things to spend our money on. Plus it was what we could pay cash for.

Thinking about it, I didn't do the one knee thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) We use to walk down to the beach everyday at a house we still own, but can't live in anymore. While sitting on a beached log, I popped the question. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
