    YES! Fucking Christ! Someone else shares my opinion on this issue! Weddings as they’re done in the US are so stupid and expensive! Wedding rings are also stupid.

      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.
