LIW...would you rather have a $35k E-ring or a $35k wedding?

Okay, I am not a LIW, but I''d want half for the ring and half for the wedding!

 

[ckrickett]

ring... IDK to much on how extravagant my wedding is, the ring however...

 

[SparklyRing]

Interesting topic. I have tiny fingers (size 2.5), so I don''t think I''d be able to lift it up with a 35K ring. My dream ring would cost around 5K max. So I''d rather have a 35K wedding.

If I had a 35K budget for a ring, wedding, and honeymoon, I''d spend 5K on the ring, 20K on the wedding, and 10K on the honeymoon. Or maybe 15K wedding and 15K honeymoon.

DS
don''t give us the easy answer

sooo...which one would you pick?

 

[Blackpaw]

Well DF that''s easy....

Ring a ding ding

all the way baby (well what are we on pricescope for anyways?)

 

[trillionaire]

If it was a contest, then the $35K wedding. I personally think that 35K for one day is a waste, but if it''s free, fine. That way I can elope and have a big party for my friends at no cost to me

.

If I took the 35K ring, I would sell it, buy a reasonable ring (5-7K), then use the rest for our new home!

Hmm... now that I think about it, I guess I should take the ring... I want a house more than a wedding and big party!

 

[brooklyngirl]

Having actually planned a wedding, RING, hands down!

 

[sba771]

Both, I am a brat and also very lucky

 

[4ever]

I''d take the ring over the wedding for sure. I don''t have much interst in a massive expensive party. A massive expensive ring however....can be enjoyed everyday of your life

BF read this over my shoulder and said he''s take a 35k car instead.

 

[bee*]

Not a LIW either, but I''d definitely pick the ring, although DS''s half and half sounds good to me too.

He he, this would be me too!!

Having done a wedding for 200 guests, if I were to renew our vows, I'd do a small private affair for about 30 people (only nearest and dearest relatives and closest dearest friends) and spend $5-10k on that, the rest I'd spend upgrading my current ering!

 

[vespergirl]

Definitely the ring. I didn''t care about having a big wedding - we had a small (12 people) destination wedding on a cliff overlooking the ocean in Bermuda. DH bought me an expensive ring, and I splurged on my dress, but I had no interest in buying hundreds of people dinner.

 

[hawaiianorangetree]

Definately the ring... a wedding only lasts one day but the ring you can keep forever.

 

[tyty333]

Definitly the ring! But what if we had the choice for a $35k honeymoon? Now that would be a tough
decision!

(BTW - I''m not a LIW...I''m an old married fart)

Oh I agree with this 100%, sadly no one else agreed with me about the wedding part. So you could almost say I am attending my own wedding somewhat against my will.

agreed as well, I''d rather have the ring unfortunately I''m having the wedding

 

[Snicklefritz]

35k E-ring MOST DEFINITELY!

a house

 

[kittybean]

The ring--no question! I would enjoy and treasure it for the rest of my life, and while wedding memories are wonderful, it is just one day in a marriage that will last ''til death do us part.

[sunnyd]

If the choice is only between the 2, a ring for sure. Diamonds are forever, you know.

 

[vc10um]

For me, it''d be the wedding. But I''d prefer the honeymoon overall!!!

(See my freak out price point thread re: the $35K ring!)

 

[shertz1981]

Between those two, ring, baby!!!

 

[nkarma]

Wedding...somewhere in the caribbean and we would pay for our guests'' travel expenses and have a nice rum time.

 

[sparkly_stars]

um. 35K on "wedding" (which, i think HONEYMOON is classed in wedding expenses right?)
if i could have it my way, i''d spend 5K on the ring though, i mean free money IS free money right?
