    One thing you can do is to check the local pawn shops (and newspaper classifieds). You can get a good deal and even pay for it on layaway at most pawnshops. I might keep this bit of info to myself though, she might not like the idea of getting a second hand ring. But, if she is not the materialistic type it might not be a problem. I would not want to go into a marriage with a huge debt myself, there are too many other practical things that need to be bought when contemplating marriage. Plus, you could get a larger diamond at a pawn shop than if purchased new. I would rather contemplate the size of her eyes as she gazes into the shine of that larger stone. No one has to know where it was purchased and I for one wouldn't tell them. It ain't none of their business. Where there is a will, there is a way. It all boils down to how you or she feels about it. Logic should win out. Have you ever thought about giving her a handed down ring from your mom or grandmom? It could always be resized if it didn't fit.
    In the long run, it is far better to be happy than worried over a silly ring. It is only a symbol of your love for each other. If the love is there the ring won't matter. Many a man has proposed with nothing more than a paper cigar ring, opting to get a real ring when the money was available. I know of one couple who related their romantic story of the paper cigar ring that was slipped onto her finger while he was on bended knee whileat their favorite restaurant. She laughed so hard she peed her pants, which cause another bevey of laughter when they attempted to leave the restaraunt without anyone noticing the dark wet patch. They were together till their deaths, some fifty two years later. Love is the most important ingredient in any relationship. I wish you both the best. May you love each other till forever.
