Perhaps you might consider waiting until the two of you are more mature and have some money saved? It's not that splitting the cost of the ring is improper but as you say, you are both very young; what's the rush?

There is nothing improper about splitting the cost of the engagement ring. As a minister, I feel I must ask, "Why are you in such a hurry?" So many couples who come to me to marry a second time tell me that the reason their first marriage ended in divorce was because they had married so young, when they had not yet known much of life, discovered themselves fully, or come into their own selves.
Another thing to consider, money constraints adds stress to a marriage.
