Don't get me wrong, she loves to grow them.......she spends hours each spring planting flowers - she loves them if she's growing them. And, they add quite a bit to the "look" of our house. But she's told me, years ago, don't buy me flowers for valentine's day, sweetest day, anniversary, etc. I tried to appear sad at that news, but inside I was elated!!!!

---

LOL....Must be something about Northwest ohio women. Mine told me the same thing, she told me that instead of flowers, just buy me a bottle of Captain Morgans or a bottle of Margeritta's...... How can ya not love a women like that

If you want a real deal on roses, just buy them two weeks after Valentines Day

---

Or pick them from someone's yard. Even better.

My brother and sister in-laws go to the store, walk into the card isle, pick out the cards they would give to each other, read them aloud and then put them back. Saves them $10 every year.

Mine thinks the same way, only with Diamonds. She absolutely, under no circumstance, wants a diamond engagement ring. They are expensive because they are "rare" even though almost everyone has one. Heck, we can even "grow" them now.

Can't go wrong with that

Include the fact that DaBeers has enough diamonds under lock and key that could devalue the entire diamond market down to zero. You could buy a 2-3 carat diamond from a bin at your local gas station for a $1. They've been controlling the market for generations.

With that being said, I bought one for my wife. Why? Because I wanted to get married to her. I don't think she would have said yes had I offered her an engagement cheeseburger.

---

Interesting. I will say, had my wife proposed to me, one single cheeseburger would not have cemented it. BUT, cheeseburgers 3 nights a week for the rest of my life? Heck yeah, throw the ring out, I'm in honey!!!!!

Alas, I proposed to her (had been planning on it anyway) when she came up on the roof of the house I owned and helped me clean the leaves out of the gutters. I thought, you know, here's a gal I can deal with. She got diamonds. And she's made me work every day since we got married.

lol, no. She works with all women This is just to make her the center of attention for a day and make her feel good. She has been going thru a rough time since her car accident and it's tax time now so she is swamped w/work.

I agree with you guys on how much a waste flowers are. I told her I hate buying them b/c after all,,they die. And I DO NOT recognize "sweetest day" at all. That is a Ohio only BS crap day and I have never gotten anyone anything on that day. But she LOVES roses and she is my wife so I bend my hatred for flowers for one day to make her happy. I asked for a case of synthetic motor oil for valentines day lol. That's romantic to me,,I need to give my car an oil change

Con, I really wish my wife was like your g/f b/c diamonds are her favorite things in the world. I got a nice bonus a few years ago and I wanted to use most of it for a downpayment on my car. She kept hinting that she wanted jewelry so I said OK. Then it was her going to the jeweler and getting a price on a bigger diamond for her wedding band,,to me dishing out $1500 for a damn diamond. But I still got my car and she was happy so all was right with the world I wish she would have asked for a bottle of Jager like Clay's wife lol

I wish she didn't I did like growing them when I stayed with my mom, but I hate buying them. She loves them though and that's all that matters I guess.

---

If that makes her happy, then you gotta do what you gotta do, because we all know that is she isnt happy,you SURE arent goin to be happy

That's the thing though, you can have a wedding band without a diamond. There are a lot of great gems out there, and I already know what one I'd go with. A heck of a lot cheaper too.
