I completely understand. Me and my girlfriend just bought our first place together and moved in last week. Everyone's bugging me about when we're going to get married. I look at the price of a ring, then think about all the other fun stuff we could do with that money like a lift for the jeep or a boat or something fun like that. My buddy just got married in Grand Praire, Alberta, Canada. He's kinda a redneck and his woman isn't into material posessions so they decided to go cheap on the rings and wedding and put the money they saved into booze for the wedding so everyone could have a good time partying it up instead. They even saved enough that they could buy two brand new snowmobiles for the price of what was quoted for an average wedding. Oh ya, congratulations.
