And now people are trying to say 3 months? I'd laugh in their face.
I don't know what I spent on my wife's first wedding ring, but it wasn't a lot. What was more important was the symbolism and the commitment. After ten years of marriage, I "upgraded" it to something that still falls short of two months' salary, and she's quite happy with it.
No woman should be stupid enough to believe this hype, but it's in their personal best interest to believe it, so they go along with the game. And then the guys have to do it too, instead of putting the money into a house or something else that's useful.

Sounds like a plan. My wife and I's rings are from walmart. I don't think we spent $150 for both and we're both happy with them. We made the agreement to buy new rings on our 5th or 10th anniversary if we could afford better ones then.
Two months salary? only if you're a fucking idiot. Three months salary? Why not just shove a baseball bat up your ass with no lube, its the same thing.
