LOL ladies of Piggington! I also hate to shop! And, would have no interest in a diamond ring. The money can be used or saved for something more necessary.
The entire wedding/marketing/fancy diamond ring scheme is designed to keep people buying. Nothing wrong with a wedding to demonstrate your commitment in front of others, but so many go in debt over it. 30K for a wedding when you are only making $70K a year? 2 months salary for a ring? The corporate industry has brainwashed women to believe that the grander the material gift, the greater the love. It is simply not true.
