Did you buy your husband's/fiance's wedding band or did he buy it himself? How much did it cost?
I bought his. I think it was between 150-200, I can't remember exactly.
I bought my DH's band. It cost about $300. It's a tungsten band. Since we were going to be merging finances anyway, I didn't see anything wrong with buying it.
It may be a bit unromantic, but we bought our own instead of each others!
I bought his. Engraved titanium...ended up being around $120 incl. shipping and engraving.
I'm buying his. I'm not even taking any of the money from my parents for it. I'm using the sale of one of my big paintings to pay for his ring and a budoir session. :)
We basically consider all the money "our money" now, even though we have separate accounts. He pays for a lot of stuff - he bought both our wedding bands - but I pay the house mortgage, the electrica/cable/water bills, and we each pay other stuff. So, we payed for it together, and we don't worry about which account it comes out of. He's paying for most of the honeymoon though.
I bought it. After seeing what other people have paid, though, I feel embarrassed to say how much I spent ;). But I will anyway--it was about $945 after tax. It was way too much to spend, but he loved it so much and I didn't think it was fair that I got the ring of my dreams if he couldn't get his.
But really, it didn't matter who bought it--a few months later we combined all of our finances. ;)
I bought his. We got it from Amazon for $26.75 after shipping. It was a steal! It is a tungston comfort fit band.
I am having a custom titanum band made for him it is $350. When we first got engaged I bought him a tungston ring that he wears now when he is on duty. But the other ring is a special surprise. I plan to switch up on him!
He bought both of our wedding bands. But I've paid for all of the little wedding stuff (craft supplies, favors, etc.) and the photographers deposit myself. So it balances out. We are at the point where, while we have separate accounts, it's our money. Not his or mine.
I actually just ordered his ring this weekend. I am having a custom piece made, and he has no idea what it looks like. It is going to cost a little over $2000, but I wanted him to have something special. And mine cost way more than that, so I didn't really mind.
We bought both of our wedding bands together. He's way too picky about stuff like jewelry so I wanted him to pick it. It cost $250, but that was after 40% off.
we picked it out together and when we went to pay for them, he told me it was silly to write two separate checks to one person.
I was super annoyed that he basically paid for both of mine AND his own, so since I'd already written out the check ($450), I wrote it to his name and made him cash it.
It was just principle of the matter to me....i really wanted to write that check! =]
We bought both of our wedding bands together. I guess my fiance is a "little prince" though. His wedding band is 6mm platinum, and was $2500. We also bought him a second wedding band in titanium for when he goes to the gym. The titanium band was $150. I was very entertained at the store. I was not previously aware of grooms-to-be getting two wedding bands. Of course, the saleswoman was all for it. When I expressed skepticism, my fiance walked around the store asking everyone, "Would you want me going to the gym without a wedding band?" How could I say "no" to that?
He actually bought both of our rings on his own at the same time!!! When he proposed and gave me my ring, he asked if I wanted to see his! He doesn't think its fair that I get to wear mine and he can't wear his! Mine is actually my engagement and wedding ring all in one! It looks like I have 3 bands, but it is only one. I love it, because I won't have to get it soldered together afterwards! Right now I am missing it, FI took it from me to get cleaned and polished etc. and told me I wasn't getting it back until he puts it on my finger on our wedding day!! I pouted a little, well, alot, and told him I needed to get another one to replace the one I've been wearing, so I didn't feel naked!! So he bought me a pretty little ring. It was my early birthday present! But we both laugh because it looks so tiny compared to my wedding ring!! But I love it and I don't feel so naked anymore!!!
i bought his, and it cost $1000 (so don't feel sheepish, marigold).
we bought it together for each other; I'm going to have it engraved
I bought my FI's - it was somewhere in the 1000-1200 range. I honestly don't remember, because we bought all of our wedding jewelry at the same time in addition to a bunch of other wedding expenses. It has some bling and is white gold. He got me what I wanted, so I reciprocated.
He bought my ring and I bought his. His ring was about $900-but that includes the lifetime warranty.
I am very non-traditional and independent, so we picked out all of our rings together, including my engagement ring and we are both paying for them. We have a joint account already, so all the money is "our money" anyway.
My FH and I designed our wedding bands together and just paid for them together. His ring was ~400 and mine ~700
I bought it! About $1400 for a custom made band with diamonds.
My FI and I split the cost of both of our bands. His ring was about $125, and mine was $700.
Wow, good bargain shopping ladies. I bought my husband's wedding band, and it was in the $2,000 range (platinum with some interesting detailing).
I picked it out, and he didn't get to see it until the wedding. But since all of our money is together, I guess "we" technically bought his ring. :) It was a custom-made palladium band for just under $700 and the engraving cost $25.
We designed it together and will pay for it together... We just added both of our wedding rings into the wedding budget, since we are paying for everything ourselves.
I bought his band, it was about $300 from the jewelry district in LA
I bought it... with our shared savings. It was about $850 from www.bluenile.com. They have sales pretty often. After I placed the order, the ring went on sale and there was a 10% off sale. I called and within a week they refunded my account the sale price, plus the 10% off. They will do this for 30 days after the purchase. They also ship next day, so you don't have to wait to receive it....
I know this sounds like an advertisement, but whenever I deal with a company and I'm happy with the customer service, I feel like I need to let everyone else know!
He's paid for both rings, but I'm going to be paying him back for his ring since I wanted to pay for it myself. I'm cash strapped right now since I'm finishing up my last year of school. He's going to put away the money I pay him over the next few months so we can have some extra money when we go to Hawaii next year for a friend's wedding :) So it works out nicely.
He is paying for both of our bands. I'm finishing my last semester right now and not working, and I am way broke! haha
But the way I see it, it doesn't really matter, because it will be our money as soon as the wedding is over anyways.
I bought his and my wedding bands. White and yellow gold, $350 per.

We bought it together. Plain gold band with milgrain edge from eweddingbands.com. I think it cost $350 or so. He loves it!
My husband chose a beautiful artistic one of a kind ring... with a price tag more than I could afford so I paid for 1/2 of it because I didnt like the idea of him buying his own ring and 1/2 was the best i could do.
I bought his--it was $1,995, and perfect. It has the same celtic knot as mine (which he bought), and complements my engagement ring (which he bought)beautifully. We picked them out together, though, so we knew how much we were spending. He wanted to buy his own, but I insisted, as he had spent plenty on my rings. We haven't combined bank accounts just yet, but we do look at things as "ours".
we went last night and I bought his and he bought mine with warrenty and stuff his was 500 but he weres a size 14 and got a thick 14 carret band its what he wanted so we got it.
I wanted to buy his ring but he insisted on using his grandfather's wedding band that was left to him. I think the sentiment behind that is very sweet. :)
