    Quoted from Time:

    She's expecting a ring sometime this year. Been getting more than subtle hints. Never shopped for one. I definitely know a lot more about pin pricing than rings. Forget the two or three months salary thing - that's nonsense. But she definitely knows what NIB pins costs. I've bought a few higher end machines over the years but usually trade them out. I've got money in games, but I can usually get most of that back out. Can't really do that with a ring. Money spent on that will mean no machines for awhile.
    If I go too cheap, will she compare the ring to my pins? If I spend too much, can't buy more pinball.
    I may have to sell a machine or two to finance this. How have you dudes managed this?

    You’re not supposed to get married!

    Forget how many NIBs it costs, buy HER the NIB machine and if she accepts, it’s proof she’s the one!

    Quoted from transprtr4u:

    Guessing your still not married?

    Somebody musta been suckered into some blood diamonds!

    Marriage *today* is a losing prospect, most people in this thread have pointed out how much of a sham the industry is, diamonds and jewelers trying to get you to shell out for junk. The planning and ceremony costs tens of thousands. The “benefits” are nonexistent. The taxes and benefits for being legally single are so much better, unfortunately.

    What part of being “legally married” is so important? Does that really change your relationship, some silly ceremony?

    My uncle has been with his girl for 26 years. They call each other husband and wife, because it doesn’t matter much. They’re happy and their relationship has been rock solid, which is really the most important thing!

    If you insist on the ceremony and the hoopla then get a prenup just for posterity. It’s better to have and not need, than to need and not have!
