Thank you for saying what I was having trouble with - I think everyone assumes that if you say, Engagement Ring, you must mean a diamond solitaire worthy of three months salary. I know I've said before I want a simple, elegant band, but people still see massive dollar signs. I don't want massive dollar signs. And yes, our fund was depleted with the car. So expensive is totally a relative thing anyway.</p> Yes and yes, Laura.

Melissa, for a ring that someone is going to wear & look at everyday for the rest of their lives, why not invest in something that she’ll absolutely love? Who says it’s an expensive ring, from what I hear, their ‘ring fund’ was in the single digits after the car tragedy.

I mean, trust me I know how we girls love shiny and sparkles but isn't it the meaning behind the ring that counts the most, more than the size or the cost of the ring itself? Just asking. Personally my husband got me a beautiful engagement ring from Sam's of all places. Beautiful Peridot(that's green) surrounded in some little diamonds. Between the $200-400 range. And it means more to me than any of my friends huge ones. </p><br /><br /><p>Like I said, so not a critique, just asking:)</p> Heather,
