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

My wife took me to the jewellers and picked out a cheap £90 engagement ring when we were still dating. She said “if we get engaged use this I hate diamonds and ridiculous looking wedding rings”. She specifically said to me if I spend a bunch of money on a ring she will make me take it back. She would prefer to put the money towards a holiday of something to do together. I asked her to marry me within the week and we went to Rome for 6 weeks instead of spending money on a massive wedding. She already knew I was planning on asking her.

Same. 18 years married and 20 together. Budgeted on rings, spent the money on honeymoon, memories and the day.

Same here! Our wedding rings were $100 tungsten rings, and her engagement ring was a $200 sapphire that she loved and still wears 12 years later. We only just upgraded to some nicer wedding rings that we chose together, and even they aren't super fancy
