It's a gift. I don't expect anything in return. That's a weird question.
I don't see it as a weird question, if i'm buying something for $6000, I damn well want something in return. But then again, I don't see the point in marriage.
By the way, I don't mean to offend anyone with my posts (well, most of the time), just interested in others opinions on these matters.
Marriage doesn't seem that big a deal in the UK any more ( from the people I know anyway) - it is as though there is nothing to be gained by been wed.
I know a lot of people are more religious, and it means more to them than others.
Anyway, personally if I were to propose, I would buy a cheaper ring and use the other money on the wedding/honeymoon/otherstuff.
And putting personal opinions aside, good luck and I hope it works out for you.
