Maybe I took this wrong, but my fiance & I finally discussed wedding rings and where we should go to get them, well... I mentioned to him that I would like one that matches my engag. ring (with diamonds) and I think it was more than he expected and got a little attitude. I know its a technicallity, but aren't you supposed to buy each others rings (even though the money comes from the same spot). UGH!!! I guess I just needed to vent.
My fiance and I talked about it too. Except, we just kinda laughed about it. He said he wanted something plain (sports-type, I am sure you understand), so I said 'great, that's more money to spend on mine.' He realized then he didn't have much of a choice.
We actually bought ours without thinking about it. We were in St. Thomas/Aruba and found 2 rings we liked (and one that actually matched my engagement ring which I haven't seen since!) and we just bought them. Saved a lot of money too! We each paid for our own b/c they were around the same price.
I was planning on just a plain band for me so I would match my fi, but my he wanted me to have some diamonds. We ended up spending $90 for his plain band and about $500 for mine.
I guess I'm a bit spoiled and didn't even realize it. Pat is getting a plain platinum band, and i am getting a band that matches his AND one that matches my engagement ring.
Your fiance will come around, I think, in time. Weddings are expensive and overwhelming to pay for. He just needs time for the wedding bands to sink in!
Maybe your fi and mine should go bowling. That was the exact wording he used too. It was too exact, your message caught me off guard when I was reading it. What are you expecting him to do, since you said he better hurry. I'm thinking of going to get my own.
someone said they did it a year ahead. Just out of curiosity when do you ladies suggest that I do that? My wedding is 11/02. Thanks.
We bought ours last week for our 5/5/01 wedding - nothing like waiting until the last minute LOL! I don't recommend the stres...
LOL
We got ours about a month before our 2/16 wedding. I used a VERY reputable jeweler on 47 Street called Salvatore and Company. I worked with Terri and she was very attentive and DID NOT try to make me spend more than we could afford. I would higly reccomend them
