Girl Shamed Men For Cheap Engagement Rings But Received A Huge Backlash
True love is invaluable and is not measured in money. We were reminded of it some time ago by Ariel McRae, an American, who accepted her boyfriend’s proposal with two modest silver rings.
Unfortunately, the young man didn’t have money for expensive jewelry, and it worried him a lot. But the girl didn’t care. On her Facebook page, Ariel admitted that she would have married her boyfriend, even if it had been a 25-cent gum ball machine ring.
However, not all girls subscribe to this opinion. As it turned out, some attach too much importance to the price tag on engagement and wedding rings.

I would dump a guy if he got me a nasty cheap Pandora ring for my engagement.
A guy should spend 20% of his yearly salary on a ring dont you agree girls!? #weddings #Travel https://t.co/IpJ12zHcfe

However, Kelly didn’t find a lot of support from other users. Quite the opposite, she faced harsh criticism. Some commenters even shared their own stories.
What if he doesn’t make a lot? Can you really put a price tag on love?

Didn’t get an engagement ring but still married and crazy in love after almost 39 years. I feel sorry for you.

20% of your yearly salary for one (1) shiny trinket? I’d never marry someone who’s so irresponsible with money.

Many users agreed that a man who spends a ridiculous amount of money on jewelry may turn out to be materialistic and overall not a nice person.
