NTJ but an engagement ring isn't just jewelry, it's a symbol of your commitment. She probably felt uncomfortable saying something to you, and talked to her best friend, which is normal. The friend just clued you in, good for her. So go ahead and get a ring, it doesn't have to cost a fortune. A good place to look is at a pawn shop, you can get a nice ring for much less than a traditional jewelry store, and while she probably wouldn't care where you bought it, she doesn't need to know that's where you shopped.
This is not good for Cody's mental health and one day he's likely to have a breakdown. Encourage him to talk to a school counselor. Don't nag him, but encourage him to cut back to two or three sports. The dads may pitch a fit initially but they'll get over it. It's sad that he feels he has to do this to have their approval, and the moms aren't much better.
YTJ Ordinarily I'd say if you can't afford a sitter, decline the invitation. But this is a friend who jumped through hoops to be able to attend your wedding, back when you were being awful to everyone else. You were given plenty of advance notice. You can do something to come up with money for a sitter for one day. Buy cheaper groceries, do some babysitting yourself, have a yard sale. You really owe it to your friend.

Your wife is so wrong she may never be right again. How pathetic and entitled. This is the time when she doesn't get your support. Shame on her.
