Jeff and I were discussing rings the other day. A friend of ours bought his wife a $4000 ring, which she lost, so he replaced it with a $7000 ring. That one was stolen. Bad luck aside, we were shocked at the price since our rings were very modestly priced. The first set we bought was $250 TOTAL. LOL!!!! And at the time, I thought that was expensive. I was so proud of that little ring. A couple of years ago, my watch and rings disappeared (I'm hoping they were just misplaced and that I'll find them some day--I am very sentimental about those cheap little rings), so Jeff bought me a new ring. We found a nice one on sale at Helzberg for around $700. Perfectly adequate, in my opinion.
Said all that to say...after our friends left our house, I turned to Jeff and said, "If you ever buy me a $7000 ring, I will make you take it back and buy me a new kitchen instead."
A gun would be a close second to the kitchen. 
ETA: Jeff's wedding band got too tight and couldn't be stretched any further, so I bought him this one earlier this year--he LOVES it:

What if He tells you to buy a ring, then what are you going to do?

Re: Alternate "Non Ring" Proposal Ideas Needed
Well, I'm old and been married for almost 55 years so maybe I am out of touch
I received the HGB in a UPC church, went to one year of Bible School in a UPC church, and married a girl from a UPC church. Rings were not an issue in any of those places.
I bought a solitaire diamond and wedding ring in white gold. Total cost was $170 ($150 for the engagement ring and $20 for the wedding ring) and my future father-in-law had to cosign for me. Before the wedding I bought myself a wedding ring that matched. My wedding ring was $30.
When we got married I had recently turned 20 and my bride was 16. Her grandfather, a minister with the Church of Jesus Christ (Bishop Mark Lawson's group) performed the ceremony in the parlor of his house. The parlor was only used for special occasions. I think that was the only time I've ever been there. My wife wanted a double ring ceremony and when she told her grandfather that he said, "I don't have time for that. You can put your rings on afterward," because he had to leave to preach at a local church here in the Cincinnati area that night.

Maintaining the goal of keeping this a debate free thread, I will only say that I would have to go to a couple of places in His Word and ask Him why He changed his mind...

Re: Alternate "Non Ring" Proposal Ideas Needed
proposal idea:
Prepare a small dinner party with family and friends invited.
After dinner, bring out her fav cake with "will you marry me?" written on it,
and propose to her in front of everyone.

Sam, if you are out of touch, maybe the rest of us need to get in touch.... your marriage has obviously lasted while others haven't.

Sometimes it is the simple things that last forever. You may have had a simple wedding, and not even time for a ring ceremony, but you made a lasting commitment... you are blessed Sam!
