Listen to what KZN had to say about the discussion, or read the details under the podcast.

I have many friends who are engaged and they have told me that it is an incredibly exciting time.

Zama and I chatted with her off air. She told us that she would have not been upset with him if he had just been honest with her and said that he could not afford an 18 Carat ring.

"The fact is, I was thrilled enough when he popped the question. It didn't matter what the ring looked like or cost. If he lied about this, what else is he lying about?" she added.

Personally, I think she should be mad at him for lying. If I was in his shoes and wanted to buy an expensive ring, he could have waited. On the other hand, he could have been honest and said he couldn't afford an expensive ring. After all, honesty is the best policy, right?

What do you think? Does this woman have the right to be mad at her fiance for lying to her about the cost of her engagement ring?
