Congrats, good sir, and well done! I proposed to my wife with a simple sapphire ring with a white gold band (we're all about not following traditions when it comes to forking over half a year's salary on a piece of jewelry). What's important is that you did what was right for the two of you, not what someone else, or society, told you was right.
Stay true to you and you'll look back on your relationship with so many fewer groans and wishes that you'd done things differently. :)
Thanks buddy! Yeah, I wasn't going to do what my friends have done (Aka, taking out a $10000-15000 loan with the bank for a ring. So ridiculous), haha. I'll definitely follow your advice and stay true to myself, bro :) Hope you had a great Christmas, by the way!
