I won't except anything less than 2 carats. Is that wrong?

Wrong? I'm not sure, but it is definitely an indication of where your values about marriage are. I would encourage you to be happy that someone wants to marry you and to focus on what marriage will mean in your life and whether you are both able to make that committment or not. If you can only make the committment based on the size of your diamond - your priorities are in the wrong place and misplaced priorities will cause problems in the marriage.

If that is the standard that you want then I guess your future husband should know up front that is your priority. I dont understand why a symbol of love like that should purely be based on the size of the diamond (the price of the ring) but if making sure everyone knows that is important than its how you feel. I personally would not tell everyone "I will only accept 2 carats" I have a friend that did that and everyone talks behind their backs about how her husband is a pushover and she is superficial. Thats just people though! I would say if its in the budget then thats great for you but dont make the poor guy go into debt over it!
Good luck

It's nothing wrong with wanting anything less, but that does make you materialistic. Just be happy someone does want to marry you. And if he does buy let's say a 1.7 carat ring will you say no. If you do, you worry about how the ring will look on your finger and to your friends and how you want others to perceive you.

Yes for many reasons. As a jeweler I guarantee Diamonds are not an investment unless you can get them at my price.
Plus ct weight is nothing without top clarity.
Second you are just starting out in life, unless you have this
money to waste it should be spent for something that is an
advantage to your future together like a home or property
(which can be investment). Third - God pity the poor sap
that would think of marrying a girl that is so materialistic as to
demand something like this - when her real interest should
be in the Quality of the relationship not the size stone that
goes with it.
This is a very immature attitude to take when your talking about a relationship that is supposed to result in a life long
partnership with someone.

No it's not wrong, but love is more important than a 2 carat ring Maybe you will find both!

So if the man you truely love, and considered your soul mate proposed to you... and you saw the ring was only 1 carat, would that be the basis of your answer? Would you turn him down because the ring he picked especially for you wasn't up to your standards? Or would you let your heart answer, and say yes because you love this man, and it doesn't matter what kind of ring he gets you, because you want to spend your life with him?
Just a thought. =) I got a little deep there.

Uh Yeah! You should be happy, thrilled, and grateful that someone loves you!
My goodness it doesn't matter about the size of the diamond or how many carats or the cut!
What matters is the person loves you so much they want to spend the rest of their life with you for eternity!
Come on girl get off it and stop being so superficial! There is NO object in life that can make you happy! Remember that.

Yes. its greedy. and materialistic.
Would you rather the 2 carat ring from an abuser or a chip from your soulmate.
Incidentally, I have the chip from the soulmate... and I wouldn't trade ANYTHING for a stupid piece of jewelry. Besides, if we had "ring money"... well, I'd rather have a home of our own than a ring

well, I'm glad I'm a little less shallow or I would never get married! I would be pissed if my guy spent that much on a ring. I think that rings that big just look fake. i really can't stand it when girls have to have a certain ring. it makes it less special. I'd rather have my ring that was less than 100 dollars and came from the heart than a ring that my guy was forced to buy if he wanted to marry me. Its just ridiculous

It's not wrong to want the ring, it's wrong to refuse a man because he can't afford to buy that ring. You're selfish and shallow. I got married with no engagement ring. Why? Because I got married for love, not some rock.
