I just read that WB post and I just have to say I'm disgusted. If I was that manZ and I worked my butt off to get my fiance a "perfect" 1.5ct diamond and she came back with "I really wanted 2ct" I'd seriously re-evaluate my relationship and think long and hard about marrying such a spoiled brat!

Just posting over there to ask a question can make you feel like a dimwit.

Lurking here, otoh, has helped me quite a bit so thanks, ladies!

Welcome, BeeH! Two things to know about being here:

1) We are normal people and we love other normal people. We are all learning as we go and there's always more to learn no matter where you are on the curve. There is no pre-approved knowledge requirement and there are no dumb questions.

2) We are nice people and we love other nice people. We allow one another to have our own priorities without judgment and respect those who do the same for us in return. (Unless you're going to tell a whopper lie heading into your marriage, in which case there's a pretty clear line in the sand. smile )

He needs to run...not walk...away from her. Hopefully he has a friend out there who is on that forum and will set him straight because I don't think she has the 'nads to.

Scary, but less so than certain other wedding boards and the entertainment value remains high!

Oh man, diamond snobbery. Oh man. Oh man.
I don't know if I even have the words right now to express how I feel about that sort of thing, since I'm just now finishing up my senior thesis... which is on De Beers' marketing campaign.

let's just say that I think diamonds are a huge con.

oh man

I have been fuming about that girl all day now. I would love to be in her shoes right now, well not really but... I'd love to be with someone who wanted to spend the rest of their life with me and make a family and so forth... I'd be grateful with a ring pop let alone 1.5 diamond, I'd fall over dead if a boy sprung the question with that. Shessh! Gaw! Erg! hehe... Ok venting over now,. but I just can't get over the nerve. Her poor FI going to all that work to learn about diamonds and find her the perfect one. omg. I feel so bad for him.


<------- mind blown!

Haha, I totally read that thread on wedding bee too! A 1.5 ct diamond is pricey, to go behind FI and then replace the rock is pretty sneaky. I can understand that the poster didn't want to appear ungreatful of the engagement ring and have the discussion w/ DF.
