Well me and my husband have been together for 6 years before we got married, I wanted to get married but he didnt he kept sayings it too early and we hardly know each other(after 5 years...) anyway when he fianlly agreed to get married he said but "we dont have any rings!" i said"who cares im not materialistic anyway we can get a ring when we get the money" and im not the type of person who wants a big diamond to show off and stuff i like a nice and simple life. but thats my opinion that the size of the rock doesnt matter. wats yours though?does it matter to you? if so why?
thanks for respons im just uterly confused.

It doesn't matter to m. My wedding ring is a very modest band with two tiny diamonds in it. So tiny that you wouldn't know they were there unless I told you. To me, our rings are a symbol of our marriage. They tell the world that we are together and have vowed to be together for the rest of our lives. I don't need, nor do I want some huge rock on my finger. That wouldn't show how much my husband loves me. The things he does on a daily basis to show his love are much more important.

I don't like large stones...or large pieces of jewelry of any kind. The thing that means the most to me about my engagement ring is that my husband made the decision to propose and he picked out the ring himself. He did a great job...it's beautiful and very special to me.
I know you didn't ask but you have to be careful about pushing your boyfriend into marriage. He may have commitment issues and the thought of getting married may be pretty stressful for him. Make sure that you are tuned into his feelings because you don't want to end up pushing him away.

no it really doesnt matter. hubby and i have been married for 21 years and obviously that has nothing to do with the ring!
my diamond is larger than some, smaller than others but its mine (we had our rings custom designed so there are no others like them!)

To me the ring itself isn't that important but what it symbolizes is. Is he not keen on rings because of the expense or because he doesn't want to wear one? If it's because of the money you can get inexpensive plain bands for very cheap, probably less than $100 for both. But it he doesn't want to wear the ring because he doesn't want people to see it and know he's married then you have a problem.
