    3 months salary is considered the "norm," over here as well. This has nothing to do with Japan and everything to do with standards imposed on consumers. "If you care, you'll spend a lot of money."

    I was just talking about the cost of wedding rings the other day with my friends, and how I think that spending a lot of money on a ring is just about the most bogus thing in the world. I think a ring should be unique, and something the woman likes, but not necessarily an expensive ring or one with diamonds.

    Women that think they deserve something like that, or would be disappointed if they didn't get a flashy ring astound me. A marriage has nothing to do with the price of token it is sealed with and everything to do with the following weeks months and years and the couples commitment to each other and their marriage.
