Kinnell just take her travelling for 6 months she will love you more than a wedding day catered around everyone else

Man up

I'm taking my lass sightseeing all around the common areas of North Wales fit reet in.

"Take her travelling"?

She isn't a dog or a keepsake.

Well I only go out with her when she's on a lead

Hope you fill her bowl on a regular basis.

Spend £1700 on gold bullion (approx a 1oz britannia?) & £300 with a jewelry maker to melt it down & make it into a ring.

Better value

OK Mr Palmer

The softer stuff is better. If you bust your finger wearing an unbreakable material you will lose your finger.

On the flip side, you're less likely to bust the finger in the first place with a ring of solid adamantium to protect it

Relatively easy to crack a Tungsten ring rather than cut it.

The only one that is important is the engagement ring. The wedding ring value is here nor there as they are every day wear items basically.

I think my bands were something like 50 dollars each whilst the engagement ring was more expensive.

Just my thoughts, i don't have to be right.

I don't even wear my wedding ring. I'm not a huge fan of jewellery. Besides it gets in the way of my sports. And it means you're less likely to get chatted up

Isn't that a fair bit more gold than needed though?

Yes. But then you do have to take every opportunity to squirrel away whatever you can to help off-set the hit you take on the day you're forced out of your own home and have to hand her half of everything you own.

About to enter the potential minefield of buying a wedding ring and wondered if anyone knows of good highstreet stores or online places to buy from? I've done some research on diamonds so think I pretty much know the quality I want etc but is there anything else to consider? If how much I'm looking to spend plays any factor, I'm thinking around 2k as it looks like that's about average.

Another here for taking a drive down/visit to the Jewellery quarter in Birmingham, much better value and options.

This is only an issue if you marry downwards.

A mate of mine bought an extravagant engagement ring for his gf. Then when he phoned his household insurers he discovered they would only insure it if he had an approved alarm and double glazing. House upgrades cost more than the ring :-)

Got our engagement ring from Costco after loads of research realised it's the only place you get more for your money not less.

That's the dumbest ****guide ever written by a retailer to rob men.

He's already going for the worst investment a modern man can make by getting married. It doesn't matter if he blows a bit extra.

Make sure you pay for it with your Vanquis credit card so you have that additional protection.

ITT no one has actually read it as the OP isn't looking for an engagement ring and has already been married 25 years...

My wife chose a £22 wedding ring (1980) and I think she's had at least another two since then (lost)
