Well congrats! :)
Now I don't want to be negative nancy but you mentioned not having enough money...it doesn't matter how much the ring is its the thought! If you love this girl it doesn't matter how much the ring is its the fact that you love her so much and that you want to spend the rest of your life with her. Thats a pretty big commitment! Engagment rings normal have the diamond on them and the wedding rings are usually just the bands. The engagment rings signifies that you are in a very committed relationship. Remember its not all about money...the point is celebrating your love for each other! :)
Congrats again!

M (now) husband and I were young and in love and broke (he was a teacher and I was an actress). We bought cheap silver bands for $40 and had a small ceremony in the lobby of a local hotel before we headed to the restaurant for dinner (everyone paid for their own dinner, they were happy to, knowing our situation). We still wear those rings 12 years later, even though our finances are a lot better. Its not the ring, its the comittment that it represents. Don't stress over it, and if you have a girlfriend who makes a big deal about it, you may need to re-think things. Once you marry, you'll realize the rings and the wedding are the LEAST important things in a marriage. I hardly even remember my wedding day. It was a blur. But each day with my honey is a sweet blessing. I'm glad I didn't let money get in the way of choosing to marry him. If you don't have enough money, do some looking around and find something that would be special to her, something meaningful. Maybe she likes pearls and you just get her a pearl or maybe she loves hearts and you get her a heart shaped ring. Be creative. She'll love you for the thought you put into it.
P.S.- LOL! As you pointed out, I didn't really answer the question. Sorry! Got carried away. So to answer you, an engagement ring is a ring you give when you ask for her hand in marriage. It symbolizes your intent to marry and is usually a diamond or a jewel of some sort. The wedding ring is just a band that you exchange at the time of your vows, usually gold but not necessarily and is usually just a simple plain band. It symbolizes the circle of love, never ending and eternal. Women wear both after marriage. Well not me, I just wear the wedding band since I didn't have an engagement ring. They are both important but the wedding band is the most important. Hope that's better!

It only costs a couple of hundred dollars to actually get married; to go to a Justice of the Peace and get the paperwork. Even if you want to have a wedding, you can do it on the cheap... potluck, simple backyard affair. It doesn't have to be a grand, $20 000 event.
Engagement rings tend to have a diamond or other stone, where a wedding ring is often a plain band. You can do this pretty inexpensively,as low as a couple hundred for the engagement ring.
Congratulations :)
