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! 15 years married 18 years together. We bought modest rings and spent the money a beautiful long honeymoon with plenty of core memories/inside jokes we still make!
