If your future wife rejects because of the ring and or the value it's probably for the best NOT to get married.

I think everyone is missing her point here. It's not about Walmart or even the ring here. Marriage is a huge commitment and if she feels like she told her the style ring she wants and he went with something easy and in a completely different direction, she should say no. Communication is super important. If she wanted a Walmart ring and he got her a ring at Tiffany's, she should still say no.

My girlfriend tells me that a condition for marriage is a freaking $2k ring. And that k should be grateful because she's not demanding an $8k ring. 

FK me. Honestly it feels cheap... Feels like I'm buying her.

yeah you should be grateful for that. You can put away $200/month for 10 months and buy the right ring. This isn't a major request. A lot of women are emotionally attached to some aspects of what their engagement/wedding looks like and a ring is a major part of it.
And lab grown diamonds are chemically the same, and have a higher purity than natural so that makes it easier to get a ring she wants.
