The good news is that she doesn"t want a large wedding at all. They might elope or do a civil ceremony or something. So that more than offsets her expensive tastes on the ring, in the long run.Malkav said:
Speaking of divorces, I"ve got one friend who got married in his mid 20"s to this awful cow. I don"t recall what the ring was worth, but he mentioned awhile back the wedding was over six figures (400 person wedding, he"s Chinese, they don"t do that shit cheap). Divorced 3-4 years later. Woooooo.
Buy your own ring and cut the cord from your mother you basement dwelling faggot.kegkilla said:

Well, that"s kind the problem with such rings: you can never get someone to buy it for nearly what it"s appraised at. If your mom"s ring would cost $5,000 today to make/buy, good luck getting more than $1,000 for it.
Further evidence the whole racket is a scam. The rings are "worth" several times what the raw materials and labor it takes to make them are worth when you"re buying them, but when you"re selling em you"re lucky to get what the stone and metal are worth.

Tell your bitch you don"t believe in some sort of material evidence of your love.
Then spend the monies on cocaine/strippers/hookers. Don"t be a pussy.

yes. or to take the diamonds out of the mounting altogether and reuse them in a new ring. (Recommended versus making a modification to an existing ring because alloys are likely to be different given age of the ring and you may want to go with a different metal anyways).kegkilla said:
Seems that most rings here in Japan run between 10 and 20 thousand dollars with the weddings coming in usually around 50 grand.
Alot of the wedding costs is defrayed by guests though as you have to bring 300 dollars to the wedding and 150 to the afterparty...so if you can talk enough people into coming theoretically you can make money off it.
Luckily my wife doesn"t care about either of those things so we used the money for a down payment on a house. So while all of her friends had nice rings and lived in apartments or "mansions" she had a pretty decent house and a car both of which are really big things in the Tokyo area.

In Korean culture it"s customary as the guest of a wedding to give the bride and groom how much it cost them to have you there.joeintokyo said:

That"s pretty much supposed to be the idea for most Western style weddings. Problem is that a decent wedding is going to cost $100-200 per head, and the chances that everyone is going to pony up that much in gifts or straight cash aren"t very good.ToeMissile said:
