Yes. No.
The wedding ring might actually be even more expensive than the engagement ring. Just shows how much you love your woman. If she doesn't care you could always get here a plastic ring from those quarter machines.

This is probably not even the last pieces of jewelry you're going to be buying for her.

I feel sorry for guys who have wives that think the more expensive a piece of jewelry is then the more he must love her.

You don't *have* to buy an engagement ring at all. You certainly don't have to buy an expensive one.

My wife's engagement ring was ~$700. Her wedding wrap was ~$500. My wife was excessively giddy with both.

$500 JcPenney special for my ring, engagement ring, and wedding ring.

We couldn't care less about small scraps of metal and rock on our fingers.

My wife's wedding band was only $300. It's just a simple white gold band with a few tiny diamonds the size of grains of sand, and it's curved to fit around her diamond solitaire engagement ring.

My titanium wedding ring was $69, and after I lost that one it was $89 to replace it.

Edit: Maybe her ring was $400? I forget. It definitely wasn't in the same ballpark as the engagement ring.

ok, i guess the guy was trying to pull a fast one....I didn't think I would spend more than $500 on a band.....

My wife's wedding band was a guard with 6 small diamonds on it...was less than 10&#37; the cost of the engagement ring, and came with free soldering.

The ring my wife bought me was more expensive than her wedding band. Tungston carbide, laser etched with a celtic knot pattern. Free exchanges for life if the size of my finger changes.

I spent $3500 on the engagement ring and $79 on the wedding band. In fact I got my ring as well, all for under 4k.

My fiance is happy as hell with it.
