"Frankly it is unwise to go into debt for expensive rings, fancy weddings and elaborate honeymoons, after which you are a slave to your credit cards for a long time, and God help you if some unforeseen situation arises to knock you off schedule."
JALLEN is right on the money with this bit of wisdom!
...and I'll add, if you do decide to marry, please don't presume upon your friends by telling them where you're REGISTERED. This bit of ugliness has become de rigueur by some of the more greedy types...

Re: Thinking about Proposing
You're ambivalent.
Marriage is not a duty.
Don't pull the trigger.
However, if do propose, buy a small gold band. It'll get the job done. If she blows a gasket because you didn't spend the GNP of a small nation for a big, honking bejeweled dazzler, than it'll be good to learn that now...
BTW, DeBeers, a monster big diamond company came up with the idea that engagement rings had to have a diamond/diamonds mounted on them as years ago they had a surplus of diamonds and one of their guys came with this jewel of an idea.
The dirty dog...
