It is statistically extremely unlikely that your marriage will last! Get a prenup, spend $25k. Sorry, but in 8 years you'll be thinking back on this thread with frustration and anger.

OP here. It’s a short time but we are older and have experienced enough to know when it’s the real deal. I love her for sticking by my side, but that isn’t the only reason. I love her because she is my best friend. Her ability or make me laugh and just feel so content and comfortable is an amazing feeling. She is so sweet and kind. She is sexy as hell and the sex is the best I’ve ever had. There are so many more reasons why I’m in love with her.

We have talked about marriage and kids many times. I have not told her when I’m going to propose, but she knows that it will happen. We are in love and very serious. I do not need a prenup. I want to give her the best and spending money on a ring that I know she will love is important to me. She deserves it.

How old are you? How much do you make? $50k on a ring is insane. But if you have money to burn then go for it.

OP here. She is 32 and I’m 37. I make close to 300k/year. She makes a little over 100k/year. I have no debt ( besides mortgage and car payment) and have large savings. I don’t have to spend $50k. That’s just the max amount.

What kind of ring did you get? What did you decide for the proposal?

Don’t spend so much on the proposal event that it’s awkward (what else you could have used the $$ for in starting your life together). But on the other hand, don’t do something so simple it’s not a special thing she would love describing, because she will be asked “How did he do it” over and over and will remember that moment forever. You can still make simple things memorable and special during the pandemic. Like having “Will you marry me?” spelled out in something fun or the ring hidden inside something as you’re enjoying a special evening or place. A google search should have tons of fun ideas that you can adapt.
