    Diamond1031:  Is he wanting you to use your engagement ring as a wedding band? Does he want you to buy your own? I need more context.

    You can a plain metal band for pretty cheap. My 14k wedding band was on sale at K-mart for $70 when I bought it.

    Bridey77:  I re-wrote my post a couple times and didn’t include that…..I’m married so this doesn’t apply to me.  I have an ering and wedding band.  🙂 

    Someone got married a couple weeks ago and she’s back from honeymoon.  I asked to see her wedding band and that’s when she told me that he said the ring was too expensive so he wasn’t going to buy ber a wedding band. Rather now she has a ring from a grandma or aunt or someone. 

    That’s what got me thinking so thought I’d do a poll.

    They are in their 30s. My phone is acting weird so I apologize in advance.

    Diamond1031:  It sounds to me like he’s bitter about how much he spent on the enagagement ring. The wedding band is more important as far as I’m concerned, so I’d be really hurt.

    Yeah, that sounds pretty shady. It’d be one thing if she didn’t want one because she thought her FI spent too much on the e-ring, but for him to flat-out say “you’re not getting a wedding band.” Yeesh.

    TheGridMonster:  agreed as well.  I was just shocked and wanted to ask the board.

    My darling just ordered my e-ring & band. (Initially I wanted him to surprise me, but we ended up ensuring I love the rings before he purchased them) Oddly enough, he didn’t realize I got two rings until just last week (he thought his band matched the e-ring in a vague fashion and that was it) . I ordered his wedding band shortly after (we matched our metals!). Now to just wait for the suprise proposal…. anyways….

    Perhaps this fellow didn’t count on the expense of a wedding band? Or perhaps he really splurged on the ring? It sounds like he could be stressed out financially by the whole affair. It seems like he’s behaving immaturely from this post, but who knows. If he sees her e-ring and his wedding band as matching by themselves, he might not see the big deal.
