My wife and I have been married for 39 years. When we got engaged, we decided that I/we could not afford an engagement ring. In our case we agreed the ring didn't matter. We knew how we felt and what we wanted. I thought we would wait a couple of years and get something. She ended up waiting 20 years to get something spectacular. My career went well and waiting 20 years was her call because we could afford it way before 20 years.
When we did buy the big ring and we could really afford it, it was fun and not painful.
We were at a wedding this weekend and I heard her telling this story more than once to people who were yacking up the big diamond ring conversation.
I know this may not work for everyone, but my wife is exceptional and way back then she was disgusted with her girlfriends concentrating on the size of the ring more than the guy they were marrying.
