I agree with these guys. I've been married for just over 4 years. Money can cause serious problems in a new marriage, hell even in a good strong established marriage money can still cause problems. It's always wise to save some money even if you don't have a specific reason to save. Weddings aren't cheap in the least. But thankfully for you, the bride's family traditionally carries most of that burden but it's not wrong or unheard of for the groom to pay for some of it too. The honeymoon, well that's all in the planning. We paid $700 for 3 days in the NC mountains. Our original plan was Disney World but that fell through. As for a diamond...your imagination is the only limit. If you have friends in the Navy I know how you can get a kickass diamond for dirt cheap.
The big thing is the chick. If you don't have her yet, then don't sweat gettin married yet. So many htings could happen between now and the time you'd actually be ready for all this. It's good that you're looking ahead though. Most people, dudes especially, don't think about stuff of this nature.
