Do you like your wedding band...

We picked out our wedding rings together andalond. Well really I picked and he said yes or no! Anyway I still have the same ring 22 years but his broke. He wouldn't take it off no matter what. Being in construction took it's toll on the ring. I bought him a new one for one of our anniversaries!

I don't have a wedding band.
When and if that happens I would
like for us to go together, and yes
matching sets would be cool. I would
hope that he would wear his daily, as I
would mine.

my husband and i were together when we bought the ring. i dont really like my wedding ring. i like it but it's not really what i want. the jeweler says that we need a small ring coz my engagement ring is already big. so the wedding ring should be small. oh well...i'm ok with it

Well, here's my perspective being a man. My wife basically told me the type of rings she liked, such as the cut of the stone and setting etc. I then purchased the ring. She helped pick out her band which was fine with me because I certainly wouldn't know where to start. As far as mine goes, I've had about 4 in the past 10 years. I don't wear my ring often because it can be a hazard with my job, but when we go out I'll wear it. I think she has bought me so many hoping that I will like one and wear it more often, but she has never said anything about me not wearing it. Does this bother women? It has never really been an issue with us, but I think I wouldn't like it if my wife didn't wear hers.

I have actually had 3 wedding rings or sets. My first one we got the cheapest bands we could find that was gold (Im allergic to anything that isnt gold or sliver). We needed cheap as we were only 16 and 18, so money was a big factor.

Later after having a few kids, I went from a size 5 to a 6 so we went and picked out another ring, this time he got me a set. Loved it!!

Just got a new set this past year, as he reproposed to me at our favorite resturant with my best frined there. I didnt know that he had asked them if we get get remarried during their wedding. So I got a promise ring then as he wanted me to be with him to pick out the set. We then went and picked out new rings. I really love this set too! It meant so much to know that he wanted to marry me again, 24 years later (26 being together). He also got a new one as his old one was pretty banged up from his line of work.

We both of course have all the other rings as they mean so much so much to us.

Yes, I love my wedding band! It is actually my second set as my first one was a lot smaller. My husband got this for me about 3 years ago for our anniversary as a replacement for my other set. I just love it.



His is not exactly matching, but it has 5 diamonds set into the band. I still do have my original set and I will either pass it down to my kids or maybe make it into a piece of jewelry. I haven't really decided yet. I will not get rid of it though as it has sentimental value.



Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

We took alot of consideration in choosing our wedding rings. Alot of that consideration had to do with money and being able to afford rings in the first place. Neither of us are really into "bling" as some would say. And I personally am not a huge fan of gold. As for buying and proposing...We both went to buy my engagement ring. Keep in mind we were very young when we did this, I was seventeen and he was eighteen. Our theory was we knew we would want to be married eventually so if we ever happened across a ring that I liked we would buy it. We found it at a local antique store, the lady there said it was from the civil war era, I still do not buy that.:) I think it was 65 dollars...no more than 70 dollars. I said I liked it and if it fit then that was the one and it did fit! After we bought the ring I did not see it until the day he proposed. It was still very exciting because I did not know when it was going to be.

I Love the way my ring looks! I do not have the standard "set", engagement ring and wedding ring. My engagement ring IS my wedding ring, with one modification. My ring is hand made, sterling silver. It is one band made to look like 3 separate bands. Outside of the welding work of the band it has 4 tiger eye stones..that are like a compass, meaning one on the top band, two on the middle band and one on the bottom band. The modificatin that was made to turn it into my wedding band was the addition of a diamond. We did not get that until after he proposed. We both went to pick out the diamond. My lovely husband wanted to get me a huge 3karet rock and I was like NO!! That thing was huge!! So we ended up with a 1/4kt leo diamond princess cut. IT sits in the center of my compass.

So with my ring being from an antique store we do not have a matching set. We both did pick out his ring too. His original ring was white gold with tiny diamond specs arcoss. He has had a total of 3 rings. Two of wich he still has. He lost his original ring in Iraq....so we got a replacement cheap ring for that reason. Afterwards I searched and searched for a ring to match his original one. It took awhile but I eventually was able to find a close match. He always has his ring on. He says he feels naked without it. He rarely takes off his band, usually when he does dishes.

He has offered to buy me a new ring, even a new engagement ring too but I said no. I like mine, it is special to us.

Well, it's a bit of a long story.

When we were talking about getting engaged, I told him the kind of ring I wanted. Then he dawdled so long and never saved a cent so when he decided to propose, he just ran out and more or less bought the cheapest thing he could find. It was nice, but it was totally NOT what I had wanted. So, we saved up and got me a ring that I would actually want to wear.
When the wedding was approaching, we went out together and looked at and talked about rings. I got a very thin, plain band so it would match my E-ring. We got him medium-thickness band with a simple edging. We didn't get a matching set because they didn't come in our sizes. We both always wear our rings. He had a hard time figuring out how to wear a ring for a while, but he's got it now.
I fully intend on getting other rings. I want a Celtic rope ring and a diamond eternity band.

I use to but not really but I don't want to change it out b/c of what it means to me and what it stands for. I think if I could change it out though I would want it to be silver instead of gold but then I would have to change everything else also.

My and my husband bought our wedding band together. We look for the design that both of us will agree and what kind of band will fit our budget. Actually, he already does tell me that he wants to buy another band but I told him that ours is enough and don't want another because I believe that our love for each other is not base on our band. With or without wedding band we still love each other...very much!
