Im an outlier here. I never bought an engagement ring for my wife. Went the practical route and saved the money to help finance the DP for our first home. To this day, many many years later, we both dont regret it.
Am lucky my wife has no desire for jewelry bags watches etc at all.

Before my wife and I got married, all we had were a pair of cheap silver wedding bands. Para pag nagsabi sa taxi na "sa Pasig po" kunwari kasal na (malay namin kung judgemental si manong driver), haha.
I don't know why it never occurred to us to have an engagement phase. Perhaps coz we were mutually crazy about each other?
Those silver wedding bands eventually became our wedding rings when we had our civil wedding. Sa Church wedding na lang kami bumili ng totoong wedding bands.
