It was worth every dime and I'm the lucky one to be with her. :winkwink: By the way she was right, the looks women give us when they see her ring are really funny. Women just go nuts. :thumbsup

There was a guy playing the part of friar in the faire walking by us as we sat in the shade hangning out holding hands. He stops and tells that only married folks can hold hands and that he must marry us immediately.

I look at her, ask her to marry me, she says yes and he perfoms the ceremony there... bunch of people around us clap.... I really did want to ask her that day to marry and what a perfect unplanned way to make the plan work out.

bought her the $24.93 amber ring from a ring vendor there, all I had was $25 at that time on me. She loved it.......

6 months later when I had some cash to my name I got her a $750 diamond ring... She never really warmed to the diamond ring, which later was lost on a camping trip.

The amber ring to this day sits in a ring box in her jewelry box. She loves that ring more than all the other diamonds I have bought her over the years.

You dont have to spend alot to show someone you want to love, honor, cherish and protect them forever.

It really depends on the girls taste and what she wants as to how much you need to spend. Some girls just want a smaller ring while some want a diamond the size of a basketball.

So her parents gave her a massive one...in my name...she tells her friends i bought it for her though.
Shap is right, girls go ballistic when they see it.
