I'm all for the continued symbolism of marriage so rings are cool in my book. It's still a serious commitment. The jewelery business however is a glittering turd with blood embroidery.

I bought placeholder rings from Walmart for maybe $20 -$30.

I upgraded to a much nicer $10 tungsten ring from Amazon.

I upgraded my wife's band and engagement ring to a handmade 14k Gold and moisanite combo from Etsy that was somehow cheaper than if I had made the rings myself. Must have some good connections, idk.

Either way, do your marriage how you want. Symbolize it how you want. I just want 8% of your gross income afterwards. It's only fair. I mean I just basically saved you twice that amount.

if I ever get married my wives will be wearing anodized aluminum rings
