Engagement/wedding ring

Traditionally (American), he buys you an engagement ring. The wedding bands are usually matching (not necessarily identical but matching) and purchased together these days. They may also be part of a set the engagement ring jeweler sells, or the bride's band may be made to custom fit the engagement ring. The who-pays question for wedding bands is mute for couples combining finances.

My husband purchased my silver engagement ring from a place that did matching bands for their rings. He ended up purchasing identical gold wedding bands (a touch that I loved) elsewhere and post-wedding he realized the engagement ring and band silver/gold combo didn't look right and ended up getting me a second band from the engagement ring jeweler. So now I can go gold or silver with my jewelry and be wearing either my official wedding band or my official engagement ring + unofficial band. I like the flexibility, but it's not traditional.

listen, its your wedding and your marriage... when it comes to supposing, that's between you and your boyfriend/fiance/husband... its you two that should suppose things for your relationship... everything else is just opinions. I say use it as a opportunity to bond further, create happy memories as you two grow together... all the best.

Husband bought 2 rings -- one for our engagement, which I returned to his family once he got me a wedding ring. It struck me as odd to wear/have/be given two rings.

Just ask him. There's no firm protocol here. My husband wanted a plain, thick, gold band. It, in no way, matches my diamond solitaire on white gold.

He bought my engagement ring. I bought both of our wedding bands which were really cheap. He wanted a plain black silicone ring and mine is a $20 basic gold band from Etsy.

Title: Engagement/wedding ring

Author citronella9

Full text: Marriage is not something that was ever explained to me or promoted as something to strive for by my parents (mother). Even the most basic technical aspects such as the difference between engagement and wedding rings I have had to recently research. I am going this week to get my ring sized with my boyfriend, I imagine a proposal will come sometime towards the end of this year. My question is, in a traditional relationship with a provider man, should I expect to purchase my husband’s wedding band, and if so, how much should I expect to spend? Should our rings match/be complimentary? I do work currently and will up until we are married/pregnant so I would definitely be more than happy to pay for it, I’m just curious if that is what is typical for an RP relationship. Thank you <3

My fiancé bought my engagement ring and wedding band. He likes plain yellow gold so that’s what I got him, 6mm. They had to add extra gold because he has a large ring size (13), it came out to be about 1k. Our wedding bands match :)

Husband bought me two diamond rings, engagement and, then, a wedding ring. I wear one or the other, depending on mood. He can't tell the difference. shrug
