Hey, why not? If it's perfect, go with it!
To be honest, my WH & I have been through 5 different wedding bands:
- Our first bands were what we could find and afford with only 3 days' notice: blue and red turquoise bands.
- Those turned out to be cheap, so we got plain sterling silver bands...
- ...which tarnished and were very high-maintenance, so we picked up solid hematite bands...
- ...which turned out to be incredibly fragile! So, we special ordered what we thought were good quality bands, silver with leaves embossed on them. They were beautiful...
- ...but even cheaper made than our original turquoise bands! So, we just bought a bunch of the hematite bands, and for our 10th anniversary picked up 2 plain white gold bands...
...which is what we wear today.
When my mother dies, I'll be getting her wedding and engagement rings, which, although they are very diamond-y - and I don't really like diamonds - because they are hers, I'll wear them (if they fit). My mother wanted to present them to me for our 25th anniversary, my dad gave a very firm NO. THOSE are the rings he gave her 60 years ago, they are hers until she's gone.
(I DO also wear another band: a friend of my mother's who was like another grandmother to me died and had no grandchildren, so I got it. It's literally about 1/4 smaller width than my tiny band so you don't even notice that it's separate.)
