How many of you guys out there have a cue that you spent more on than you spent on the wife's wedding ring? :D my wife called me on that last week lol. I told her that they have all payed for themselves unlike the ring and the finger that it is attached to. LOL;)
 
My wife bought her own wedding ring. She bought mine too. :eek::eek::eek:

Speaking of wedding rings I always have a problem of putting tiny dings in the shaft just about the joint from screwing and unscrewing it together. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a Scruggs that cost more then my wife's ring, but she doesnt know the value of my Scruggs. She doesnt know a thing about the cost or value of custom cues, AND I TEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!!:D
 
A friend's collection

A friend has three safes worth of collection. He is just a "poor farmer" and his wife hasn't a clue how much is sitting in those safes. If he croaks before me I'm going to buy everything, . . . cheap! :D :D :D

Yeah I have that same policy. What screwed me was that I was out with a couple of friends shooting pool and she just so happened to be there when they went nuts when they saw it. I have 2 bank accounts, 1 that my work paycheck goes to and another that I keep that is strictly for my hobby. The money that gets deposited is either tournament, hustle and cue sale money. I don't dip in the household account to buy something new. This way I can say it was a purchase that did not affect our lifestyle whatsoever:)

Funny you mentioned that. My thing is just recently being married, I forget when I tap my hand on the pocket (more of a frustration thing after missing a leave) I hit my ring on the metal of the Gold Crowns at the pool hall.

Since I'm in the Gem business & mining here in Brazil, when the wife starts complaining about how much a cue costs, I'll give her an Emerald or something and she shuts up, it's that easy.:eek:

if it's only the wedding ring, then my cue costs more. but the engagement ring that I gave her, costs 10x more of that my cue, excluding the appraisal value. so she never complains whenever I bought myself some wood for my pleasure.:D

Wedding ring or ENGAGEMENT ring?

My wife's engagement ring cost me more than 2 Brunswick Gold Crowns.
And that's no exaggeration, I have the sales receipt.
IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNEY. She's my all time best friend as well.

Our wedding bands were also more expensive than my cues.

All of my cues are in the $80-$500.00 range. Don't nobody laugh either :D
Efren Reyes played with cheaper cues than I have :eek:
 
Upgrade

Just a suggestion but you could always upgrade your wife's diamond. I have a Jeweler friend that say's people do this all the time. Usually after say 5-10 years they are in a better place financially then when they got married so they can afford the ring they want. Take her current stone and have a jeweler work it into the design of the new ring. A lot of times you can go to one of the popular new settings with a big center stone and 2 smaller sides. Use the original stone as one of the sides. Now she has nothing to hold over your head.:D
 
To answer the original question. The wifes ring still wins in the cue department but she has said it about some of the guns and the Harley. I just tell her she has small hands and anything bigger would look Gauddy seems to be working for now.

We all know Grady's rule of women and pool. Every night he would put an orange and a five ball on the dresser and as soon as she can tell the difference it was time for a new girl friend":) ;) :D :)
 
For my upcoming (August 11th) impending demise from bachelorhood, our wedding bands together don't equal 1 of my cues, and the bands were bought from decent jeweler.

Now as another poster stated, the engagement ring was quite a bit more than that.

My fiancee' knows what I spent for each cue as well.

Regards,
Craig
