    Women love weddings. I like them too. I doubt if I would ever spend 25k on one though.

      This is possibly the most successful spambot-generated thread ever.

          Rings should cost less than what you would spend on a good weekend out.

          Wedding should cost less than what you would spend on a good vacation.

              Wedding rings are really cheap, right? Just a gold band. Engagement rings are the things that are ridiculously expensive and extravagant. I can't wait to see what the proliferation of synthetic diamonds (lab-grown diamonds, not simulants like cz) do to the big diamond cartel.

                We spent a ton of money on our wedding and it was awesome. Paid for pretty much all of it ourselves, had a huge party with all our friends and family, exactly how we wanted it. Was great. No regrets.

                It's only money, **** it.

                  We still spent a lot less than what was alleged to be the average in the UK at the time though.

                    I might find myself divorced soon afterward.
                    Meh, I don't see why. Two people have had extravagant weddings in my family. Both are divorced. The lady marrying in, insisted on a big wedding and that our family contribute half. That marriage lasted 3 months. Most of us just have the party and a decent trip for the honeymoon, usually someplace cool but fairly inexpensive. Then they tend to put a downpayment on the house and get a good start on life.

                    My plan is to have a small church wedding, just close family and take a trip to Mexico since it's fairly close and spend most of the budget on bringing what family that can come to it, rather than on the accoutrements or whatnot. That would be cool for me.

                        They are chemically identical. She'd never know. The only way to tell is with sophisticated spectroscopy. You can tell they're synthetic because natural diamonds have more flaws, while synthetic diamonds are flawless.

                          Um, no...synthetic diamonds are not used in jewelry. I believe onodera is talking about cubic zirconium.

                            I think onodera is referring to the probable marketing push by DeBeers/etc. were any sort of synthetic diamonds to make a significant dent in the market. Marketing speak doesn't have to actually match reality...

                              Yes they are.

                              I understand, but I am questioning how effective it would be. I agree that it is probably the push they would make.

                                Yes, they are chemically identical, but DeBeers can issue a "natural origins certificate" with their diamonds and push the marketing concept that synthetic diamonds are inferior from an emotional pov.
                                So HC can buy his sweetheart an exquisite diamond ring, but will be dumped if it doesn't come with a certificate that proves it's a natural diamond.
