Kazmic's Wedding Bio

to begin with we had been secretly engaged for months... Mike had asked me to marry him one night but we both were not sure how others would react since he had only been seperated about 5 months and he didnt have a ring.  a few months later I had to go 700kms to Perth and have an operation to remove my tonsils, this was delayed by a week but we had to remain in Perth during this time we looked at rings.

well a few days before the op Mike said to me I wished we could buy the ring now and announce our engagement but we cant afford a ring.  we talked and convinced him I didn't need an expensive ring...
we got officially engaged a few days later

my last wedding my ring was about $700 and that was about 20 years ago and I found out that really the ring is useless if you separate or divorce... I went to try and sell mine when my ex left and no one would buy it it's dead money...I mean I could get maybe $50 at a hock shop but why would I when I know the value?
so I have learnt save the money you would WASTE on a huge diamond and use it for a deposit on a house or something an engagement ring shouldn't be about price.  it should be about saying I want to be with this person for the rest of my life no matter what.

my ring was all of $300 or there about... I chose it, I love it, its 3 small diamonds with 3 tiny ones on either side.  Mike wanted to spend thousands on me but he couldn't afford it and I couldn't see the point in wasting the money on a rock.

so many people go into debt over a clear rock and have to rent a house when if they saved and used that as a deposit for a house they could be paying their own house off.... I guess tho you need to be the sort of person who can say the rings are a symbolism something to say to others I am taken.  sure if your rich and can afford a huge rock I guess do it but for the average person....I would say think about why you want a huge rock that you can't afford...wouldn't that money be better spent on something useful????

below is my engagement ring :)

Our wedding rings were bought on Ebay after much looking around...we looked in jewellery stores and couldnt believe the price for just a single Gold band.  We then started looking online and Ebay had some great vendors.  We both liked the celtic look and found matching Gold tungsten Carbide rings. here is a Picture of the rings
