He is thinking of popping the question but he's always had a real hate of the whole engagement ring thing. He feels like he is getting suckered and he's worried about the whole blood diamond thing also (I know, he sounds like a bit of a wanker).
On the other hand, he knows that his pretty lady friend, alternative though she may be, would love a big sparkler on her finger. So he's probably gonna get over himself and just shell out. He has a few quid all right, but just bought a house and so is fairly stretched. He's really just not sure what the fudge to do or how to do it...he's reading things about average spend being 5/6k euro and just thinking "what the fudge?". Is he being a scabby tool?
Thoughts or even just stories about how you did it, or are planning to do it, most welcome.
I know PR loves a bit of dick waving so bring it on
