Which is super stupid, especially since there is a negative correlation between amount spent on rings and weddings and the success rate of a marriage: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/love-sex/wedding-co...

I got my wife a custom designed ring with a fairly large moissanite stone for ~$1,200 all in, and we spent about $2,000-$3,000 on the wedding itself. My wife actually would have been upset with me if I had gotten her a real diamond. Not so much because of concerns over conflict (though she did care about that) but because she felt that spending that much on a useless stone was outright stupid.
