I made my wife's wedding ring myself by handI also made our wedding cake and, despite getting hung up in a cave by it, I have not let go of my wedding ring (which my wife made for me) since she put it on my finger. When I had it mended after the caving incident I found a jeweller who was willing to let me do the work under her guidance.
If I'd spent £5k of the house deposit on a proposal I think Jim would have kicked my arse.
