A diamond is primarily an engagement stone, not a wedding stone. The wedding nets you community property, worth even more than a diamond.
Think of it as earnest money, or buying an option. It's too expensive to buy a diamond and promise marriage just to string your girlfriend along if you aren't intending to follow through in the next year.

In no particular order: * If the girl asks the guy to marry her, are we to understand that he should expect to receive a diamond ring from her, to somehow seal the deal? * Why should it be the guy "promising marriage" to the girl? * Why should it be based on "guys" marrying "girls" at all?
