Deal breaker?

On the radio this morning, they were asking people if the ring could be a deal breaker in a proposal. Apparently for Carmen Electra, her ring is a deal breaker. She is upset that her fiance bought it from a website and ONLY paid $2000 for it.

Most people said that it wasn't an issue for them and I have to agree. Dh and I had been dating for a couple of months and I told him I wanted something "round and shiny" for Valentine's day (I was mostly joking, but that's ok). We both worked for a local hobby company at the time and when I got to work that afternoon (he worked days and I worked nights), there was a ring box sitting on my keyboard. When I opened it, I found a bearing for an R/C car inside. It WAS round and shiny LOL Then he told me that he would buy me a ring but it had to cost under $100. We went to K's that weekend and picked one out. My whole wedding set cost less than $200! That sort of set the tone for our whole wedding which we pulled off (including the dress, rings, everything except my engagement ring for) for about $1100.

P.S. Quig's sister said that with all the nicknames floating around (Pretty Girl, Bubba, Looseyfur, X-Man and MacTroll) that she felt like she was reading some super hero blog. I want to be part of the super hero revolution so hence forth my kids will be known as Miss Thang (MT) and The Boy (TB) because those are awesome names! LOL
