Like I said I am one of the few who thinks its wasteful to spend money on a flashy rock with shiny stones in it. I am just to practical maybe, plus I have never really seen an engagement/wedding ring that I will just have to have. I also have definite ideas about a wedding - I dont intend to spend R100 000 - R500 000 on a wedding day either.
