[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what DH spent on the ring but I'm fairly certain he paid cash.  He had a work opportunity where he earned extra money and I believe it went toward the engagement ring and downpayment on a car.

I just watched one of those Suze Orman videos, one that was made right during the financial meltdown and she kept telling folks "you need to stand in your truth".  Don't look at what other people are doing or focus on what you don't have.  You own your situation, do what you can afford to do, and keep a positive attitude on what you do have. Weddings themselves can be an expensive endeavor so personally, I would work backwards with the budget.  What would you spend on the wedding, what would you spend on the wedding rings, it's important to celebrate your union just the two of you even if it is a weekend away and your parents watching your child so what would you spend on a small honeymoon.  Whatever you guys decide to do, I really think the important thing is you are being thoughful with each other and it is a celebration of being together.

Wishing you the best.[/quote]
