Congrats! We were fortunate enough to be able to afford the rings, wedding and house. I suppose we’re one of the lucky few in todays economical climate.

We got rings made of silver. The total cost was about $14. The rest of the ring money went to the house down payment, we’ve never regretted it.

I have a problem with taking advantage of a store in that way. It’s like folks that go to a shoe store to try shoes on and figure out their size and then buy the same shoe online. I find it shameless personally.

It’s the autocorrection of clarity to charity that tickled me.

My kids had the phone numbers and addresses memorized long before they had a tablet to sign into. Yes its a common trick but not for everyone

Save even more money by skipping the engagement ring all together.

The "tradition" of diamonds as engagement and wedding rings is about one century old. It was invented out of whole cloth as a marketing campaign by the diamond mining industry.

The history of how the diamond industry invented the "tradition" of diamonds as wedding and engagement rings in the 20th century is a fascinating example of a con.

I got an opal engagement ring, it's beautiful and I like it so much more than the diamond rings I looked at. It was 500 bucks. So another way to save is to go against tradition.

** better in a lot of ways.
I only say this because moissanite is a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Other than that though it definitely creams diamonds.

Yep! We made a rap for our phone number, and a song for our address. My barely four year old son (and older cousins) learned our numbers easily. Coincidently my niece sung my address to me a couple of days ago. I taught them the song over twenty years ago.

Too much effort, I had 2 kids so if one gets lost in a store I have a spare.

I used the tune of the ABC song to teach my kids my phone number when they were tiny. They are now in their 20s and still sing it to themselves when they write it down.
