I've heard of much crappier proposal stories.
I won't go into details, but my proposal to my wife was much crappier!! But it all worked out. Like I said earlier, 15 years this November!

You know who really cares what all these other assholes think, if you know your woman good enough to spend the rest of your life w/ her then hopefully you know how she will react to your proposal no matter where it is.....I wish you all the best...

You are either single, a woman, or married for less than a year. I have never known anyone whose BJ count went up after getting married.
None of this after ring.

Don't listen to the losers--$3500 is plenty for a ring, especially for a young guy. The same guys telling you it's not enough will lose the LARGER amount they spent when their woman leaves them!
Of course, $3500 could have put you higher on the TAF priority list giving you a chance at better bowl tickets...

+1 Woman has you now. No need to do these things. Some years down the road after a couple kids and the daily grind of life, you'll be lucky to get anything at all. Time. Just give it time. With all that said, good luck and best wishes.

thanks for all the best wishes and congrats. and yes i'm 23 years old, still in school and not a dr. or a lawyer. so 3500 bucks is alot of money for me. and from some of the responses i can tell some of you are unhappy in you are probably unhappy in your marriage and are problably not a very good husband/dad...so say what you will, your not bringing me down. but to all you other guys...THANK YALL
Yeah...as a family lawyer, let me tell you that at least 50 percent of 1st marriages end in divorce, with over 2/3 of divorce filings being made by the wives. Overwhelmingly, the reason is "irreconcilable differences" (i.e. you didn't cheat, beat or otherwise abuse...she just married you thinking that she could "change" you, and when she couldn't, she gets frustrated and leaves).
The rate for secondary marriages ending in divorce goes up by about 10 percent per marriage (divorce rate for 2nd marriages is 60%, for third marriages is 70%, and etc.).
If you look at the studies of marriages that remain intact, at least half of those are intact "for the kids" or "because we can't afford a divorce" or some other such reason.
When she leaves you, she will almost assuredly get your kids and, at a bare minimum, half of your stuff (if not all but a token amount of it). You will also have to pay her darn near a full house note every month in child support if you make any significant income at all.
In other words...if you get married, stay married and are happy doing so, you have definitely beat the odds, my ill-fated friend. This isn't just my opinion, it is what the statistics clearly show.
By the way...first marriages have an average life span of about eight years, so shoot me an email when y'all are ready!
I know that you won't listen to me any more than you will listen to anyone else here, but at least you can't say that you weren't warned.

What's the difference between a job and a wife?
After five years the job still sucks...

I was not expecting to see as much of this as I do, but you are right.
There's nothing like a second spouse to show you how the grass isn't really any greener with someone else.
Meanwhile, that first spouse has your kids and, since you lost everything to the first spouse, you'll probably get more of your stuff back by remarrying the first one than you would lose in divorcing the second one.
I see this more often than I expected to.
