Reply To: what would you give up?

I would not care getting a CZ diamond ring- of course I want it to be a nice one but why put someone into financial trouble for a ring. I once mentioned it to a couple friends who were talking about it and they all said I am nuts for being willing to give up something like that! Maybe they are just babyish about the whole thing. I would not care if my sisters dont have custom made gowns- I just really would want my mother to look stunning! (I guess in that case I should not get married in the next few months as she is pregnant! UCH but that is a different story for another time!)
