Did it make me love him less? Absolutely not. Believe me, I was just as excited as anyone to say "I do," but in that year of our engagement, we learned a great deal about ourselves and each other. If you love him now, and you think you are ready to spend the rest of your life with him, why not spend a little time getting things together? I understand that everyone is different, but marriage is not something to rush into.
Concerning the ring... I'm not going to get into your finances; however, if not being able to have the ring of your dreams is going to postpone this wedding. I would let it be postponed. There is a lot more to marriage...
