His Ring

AngylBelle · Sep 30, 2005

There are so many questions around here on the girls engagement/wedding ring that I was wondering about the men's.

Did you pick out his wedding ring together, did he pick it out himself, or did you/are you going to surprise him with it?

We looked at rings together to get an idea of what each liked but I chose his ring and it will be a surprise for him at the ceremony (of course he agreed to this first).

I picked an engagement ring for my husband and that was a surprise...well he knew I was getting him a ring but that was it. Our wedding rings we picked out together...since we wanted them to be the same and so had to pick something we both liked.

That is cute ...we weren't able to do that because while my wedding band matches the band on my engagement ring, both have diamonds and he isn't a fan of men's rings with diamonds. He likes "rope" and "engraving" effects, so since our's obviously wasn't going to match, I picked something completely unique.

my engagement ring and wedding ring came together, so his band will obviously be different! (I'm pretty sure he doesn't want a girly ring with diamonds on as his wedding band!!!) When we go get his, we'll probably go together, but really all he wants is a plain white gold band- that should be fairly easy to find! His will be the same colour as mine, but I think that's all that'll be the same. He's really not a jewellry person, so something plain will be perfect for him.

My husband didn't want an engagement ring, as he has a very physcially demanding job and can't even wear his wedding ring most of the time. An e-ring for him would mostly sit at home in its box.

With wedding rings, we went to pick them together. They kind of match (in that they are both simply white gold bands. Mine is curved to fit into my engagement ring though).

It was very important to me that I break the tradition that the husband pays for all of the rings. I let him pay for mine, but I insisted I save up and pay for his wedding ring. That way we truly were giving to each other a token of love. Not "Here's a token which you forked out for." It was just a symbolic thing for me.

We did look at rings together and bought them together. As far as engagement rings - I have one, he does not. He both have wedding bands, however.

I suprised him with a engagement ring, he said only girls are supposed to have one... I said i wanted him to have one, he was happy

However wedding rings we'll get together.

Engagement rings for men seem to be getting more and more popular...
I don't think it is a bad idea, but my beau doesn't like jewelry as it is, so a wedding band is more than enough for him......silly men...

Mens engagment rings? Hmm... that just seems odd to me. lol

What I ended up doing was giving her the engagment ring and I took her purity ring and wore it on a necklace (my precious). I will probably continue to wear it even after we get married. I've become attatched to it.

whats a purity ring ?

LuvAngel · Oct 4, 2005

As far as engagement rings go I have one but my fiance does not, he wouldn't really want one. With wedding bands mine will be the one that fits my engagement ring. He and I went to look at bands for men a couple of weeks ago and he tried a few on. So I'll be getting his ring and he won't see it until the wedding.

"a ring is both a reminder to the person wearing it of a commitment they made and a statement to others who see it on your finger. Rings can symbolize many different things. A wedding ring for example reminds us of the marriage covenant we entered into with our spouse and it tells the world that we are committed to someone else. Much the same, a purity ring daily reminds us of the covenant we have with God to stay pure until He provides us with a spouse and at the same time it tells the world that we are waiting on Gods plan and that there is no compromising."

Yay! I'm not the only one!

We won't live together until December, so we didn't pick out our rings together. He chose something for me, but consulted me on different stones & metals that I liked. (He sort of had to because I'm allergic to gold .)

He was the one to decide me at the ceremony with it, and I was SO mad. I HATE surprises so it's been really hard to wait. I picked out his ring by myself and chose something plain and simple I think he'll like, I got it engraved with Violet Burning song lyrics, and he'll get to see it at the ceremony. Hope it fits!

Part of the reason i got him an engagement ring, was because i really wanted to get him something and didn't know WHAT! His other ring is past dead, cuts him and about to snap, and i kno he was wanting another, so i decided a ring would do the trick... I think we'll be picking rings together, because it's a ring we'lll wear for the rest of our lives, and I'm sure we want to get a one we love.

seamonster · Oct 4, 2005

I thought about getting him an engagement ring, but we decided not to because we only had a 2 month engagement. I think it's a sweet idea, though, and if we had chosen to have a long engagement I probably would have gotten him one.

Maeyken · Oct 4, 2005

Am I just out of the loop? I've never heard of guys getting engagement rings (other than on here.) It's not that I think it's not a good idea, just that I'd never heard of it before! I've got a question- how can you tell a guy's engagement ring from his wedding band? Don't they sorta look the same?? I think it's a cool idea for the guy to have an engagement ring, especially if he likes wearing rings... but doesn't it just look like a wedding band??

Just curious!

Inperfected · Oct 5, 2005

I'm sure it does to some

But honestly i don't know what we'll do with it once we're married... other hand, sold or given to someone special.

I bought his ring, but it was just a plain white gold band, so it's not like there was much to pick out. The biggest option was what thickness, and I just asked the saleswoman what the average one was and got that one.

kiora · Oct 9, 2005

his has a little diamond in it and it is not plain on the front and has a smaller band around teh back so it doesn't look like a wedding ring
