If she set the budget at R200 and you spend R2000 she would feel obliged to also spend a largish amount. Maybe she's not comfortable with that.

Nah - to late for that... I've just been planning the point and shoot for a few months now - and then she came with the budget crap - so its not fair :p

Think I might just go with it, now to decide on which one.

Give her just the memory card on her bday and the camera the next day.

Thats genius - I'm going to do that... cause she'll think the memory card is for her current camera - and be quite disappointed :D

I'll give her the camera later that day - maybe :cool:

brilliant, but it can backfire... or get her a largish memory card, like 8 gb, which is about, well i dont know, 300 bucks maybe.

That's an awesome idea ...

Tell her you know she said R200 limit, but you thought you'd spoil her anyway even though memory cards aren't cheap. You can even wrap it in a match box :D

This is sure to get her erked enough to tell all her friends how impersonal you are... then when you flatter her with a brand spanking new camera she'll feel bad about doubting you which indefinitely leads to obligatory kopkou for you :D

Best thing is she's so hooked on getting married she might think its a ring - SO CRUEL!

Nah - no hints :(

She's getting the weekend thing anyway...
Got her this awhile back, so we're going out there for the weekend to have a look for the first time,

than why dont you just ask her to marry you :) ?? if she's the one you want to spend the rest of your life with!

We haven't even been dating a year - WAY WAY WAY to early in my life to think about marriage.

Take her to the play section in McDonalds and buy her a happy meal. She can sit on the chair that emulates Ronald McDonald's lap. She'll never forget it.
