Wedding Ring Debate ?
Q: Well, I know most of you will probably tell me to "relax," but this
really bothers me :-)
Ever since I was old enough to know the meaning & symbolism behind a
wedding band, I've envisioned gold bands. To me, it's kind of an
unspoken rule...wedding bands must be gold! Well, FH has decided that
he wants silver. He has a watch that is silver & he just doesn't want
to part with (but that's another story!!).
He thinks we should just get mine gold & his silver, but I'm still
frowning at this idea. My poor old heart's broken :-( at the thought
that we wouldn't have the "same" ring. Are any of you getting
mis-matched bands? Any thoughts or ideas??
A:There are some really gorgeous wedding bands that are gold with silver
designs in them. What about that? That way, you have the gold band and
he has the silver to tie in with his watch? Or what about white gold?
Sorry I can't be of more help!

married in 1968, probably about the same generation as your parents --
don't have matching wedding bands. My mom's wedding band came in a set

band.
At least he's willing to wear a ring. FH and I discussed rings and he said
that he probably wouldn't
