<human>: My boyfriend of over seven years and I decided we wanted to get married. I am don't care for the idea of spending tons of money on an engagement ring when it can be spent on something more important. Not only that but I tend to loose expensive things quite often. I didn't want the guilt of loosing an expensive ring and wanted to purchased a nice cubic zarconia ring. It doesn't look ridiculous and cost about $130. I really like it but am afraid that my family will look down on me for accepting and wanting such a ring. I am about to finish college and would rather see the money for a ring go toward something much more useful. My problem is that I am completely happy and love the ring but I am afraid my family and friends will judge me. What should I do? Lie to them and tell them it's real? Thanks!
