What is your opinion-is it pathetic to buy my own engagement ring?

My boyfriend and I decided that we want to get married :) As far as time goes, it would be best for us to do it within the next year. The thing is, we are both on tight budgets, paying our own bills, and living in separate apartments. There is no way on his income that he could save up for a ring AND help pay for a wedding in a year. In the next few days though, Im getting about $2500 dollars that I wasnt expecting, and we talked about maybe me loaning him the money, and he can pay me back over time. Is this a good idea so we can go ahead and get things going with the wedding, or would it be kinda disrepectful and shorting to myself since he didnt have to save up or pay for it himself?
