Pretty funny video. But its also quite sad how true this video is in some cases. I know a guy who had a gf that would not agree to marry him unless he bought her a $15,000 ring. Now this should have been a red flag to run, but the dummy went ahead and not only continued the relationship with this woman but actually did buy her the $15,000 ring. "I now pronounce you doormat and wife."

If I had been faced with a fiancee who had a minimum price set on the ring, I'd have bailed right then and there.

I couldn't agree more. I just don't get the mentality of people that put demands and expectations on gifts. The ring is supposed to be a symbol of something... it shouldn't matter if it's a $15,000, $1,500, or $500... or if it was a "free" family heirloom. What' importation is the love and promise it stands for. Demanding a certain dollar value is very immature (childish) in my opinion. Reminds me of that little girl in Willy Wonka... Violet Beuregard.

Still, the video is funny and I am still looking forward to lunch

Funny video. As a woman I never got the whole expensive ring thing either. I prefer a cheap ring and a lunchbox full of cold hard cash.

You aren't really supposed to watch it. It's like when your friends post videos of their kids on Facebook. You just scroll by and maybe comment if you're expected to, but don't watch the whole thing.
