    So my FI and I finally went and purchased our wedding bands today. I had been in several times looking for mine and we had been in once together looking for his. There was a style that I thought he liked for his band, so when I went in alone I had continued to look for similar styles that he would like to show him today... Well he threw me for a loop and ended up liking some really random ring that I would have never thought he would choose.. and I don't like it. like really at all.

    I know it is not my ring, so I didn't say much about not liking it and he ended up getting that one, but it just made me really curious to see what others thought of their FI's choice in wedding bands..

    I'm just kinda meh about my husband's ring.  It's really boring in my eyes, especially considering that my husband dresses a little trendy, so I assumed he would want a ring that really stands out. I don't hate it, but I definitely don't love it.

    Do you like your FI's/DH's wedding band? :  wedding RingI like it - but I like it better when he wears it! ha!

    I like that it matches my ring (my set is white gold) and yet still incorporates the "traditional" look of yellow gold.

    My FI runs a pawn shop. My diamond came from an old ring he had laying around but my my set was bought at The Shane Co. and I love it!

    He on the other hand bought himself a really boring comfort fit white gold wedding band. Which is fine cuz we are both pretty plain It's just skinner that I expected.

    The way he showed me it was weird though. I was his house one day and he was like "I got my ring" I said "I wanna see" he goes to his room and brings out a little plastic baggie and tosses it in my lap. inside was his ring. :/ (this was before I had mine) I said it looks so sad in this bag so I took it and wore it on my thumb until he proposed and gave me my ring. His is now saftley nesstled in my jewlery box until the big day! :) 

    Yikes sorry for the long post. hehe Embarassed

    I voted 'eh, it's alright'. He won't actually wear the ring, so I suppose it does the job for the ceremony at least. If that weren't the case, I would have loved to get him something with black diamonds.

    I actually just ordered his, yaaaay! I was hoping he'd go for something a LITTLE more stylish, but after trying things on, he just wanted a basic 6mm flat white gold ring. Oh well - he has to wear it, not me!

    I voed I love it, but I did pick it.  FI had originally picked out a tungston band, two tone brushed texture in the center and a bit shinier on the sides.  I knew that he did this just to save me money, since I was purchasing our wedding bands.  So I went out and got him a white gold band that he knows nothing about, and won't until I put it on his finger during our ceremony.  It is also the two-tone look, brushed finish in the center and more polished on the sides.  And since you can't engrave tungston (or at least that is what I am told), his new band has a special message inside. :)

    My FI chose a black Tungsten band.  I don't hate it, but I certainly don't love it.  I think the black looks kind of weird on his finger.  He loves it though and it is comfortable.  On top of that, it was only $40 so I can't complain!

    I love my husbands wedding band! When he first started looking into tungsten (he use to have a silver one) He picked some that I wouldn't pick. But I told myself that he wouldn't make me wear a ring he liked if I didn't. He is the one who has to wear it so I told him to pick whatever he liked. I found one I thought was really nice & it reminded me of a nascar flag which he loves. I showed it to him & he loved it! In person its darker than the picture, but its alot shinnier than we thought. Which we both love!

    Love it!! He orignially wanted a plain gold band. I wanted to see something with a little detail, but we kept seeing the same rings every place we looked, and nothing interested him. Than we found his, he took one look and it was the one he wanted.  It's different from all else that we've seen and yet still classic. It's 2 tone, white and yellow.

    My FI hasn't bought his ring yet, but he wants something like this, 8mm thick and in 18k yellow gold. I think it's awesome, and it really suits him!

    DH originally said he wanted a plain band.  I was planning on him having something with diamonds.  When we went to pick out wedding bands, he was drawn to the diamonds too and he ended up with a band we both really love.  I feel like it matches mine better than a plain band.

    I voted for "eh". He chose a very modern look and I wish he would have gone for something a bit more classic/timeless, but I like it in the sense that it's his wedding band and it is what represents our marriage.

    I love DH's ring. Tungsten Carbide. He loves the weight and smooth feel of it.  I was also happy to find that i could engrave it. :)

    After going back and forth several times, my precious FI was so undecided about his ring. He wanted a mix of traditional and contemporory, two-tone...I wanted him to have diamonds, but ultimately, I found the ring that I loved and thought suited him the most... I went and ordered this today! We're having it custom done, very reasonably priced. :)Do you like your FI's/DH's wedding band? :  wedding FIs Wedding Band

    I love his because he loves it so much. It also goes really well with the classic feel of my wedding set.

    Yes, I love his wedding band.  He wanted something that celebrates his irish heritage and when I found this one he was in love.

    It's a very classic, simple plain gold band, but it matches mine, which makes us both very happy.

    We haven't bought the wedding rings yet, but we've picked them out. FI wants this classic platinum band.

    I voted "Yes, I love it" because FI originally didn't want a ring, so I'll be thrilled with whatever ring he ends up with

    I love my DH's ring! We got him a ring from Fabuluster after seeing the Button's ring. DH has super sensitive skin so we went with Paladium which is hypo allergenic (which means more costly) but very durable as well. DH's ring is engraved ith my fingerprint inside as well as a special message to him but from the outside is pretty plain, just 8mm. Everyone that sees it loves it.

    Yes, I like my FI's ring, although he couldn't have had any other ring and been happy. He was super picky. So in terms of he picked it and he'll wear it - it's great.Do you like your FI's/DH's wedding band? :  wedding 14KWG FLCF 5 B

    @Mrs Sarah McK: Thanks! :) The wedding bands were a big splurge. But the bands are what we wear everyday, so it was worth the investment.
