If you have surprised your fianc with an engagement ring, now it is time to shop together for a men's wedding ring and a woman's wedding ring. The first thing you will want to do is to match up the engagement ring with the wedding band for the woman.
When looking at men's bands you will also want to think about both of the styles you as a couple like; this way both of your wedding bands will match. Do you both prefer gold, silver, or an alternative metal such as titanium? Or perhaps you both prefer a Damascus steel, tungsten, carbon fiber, black ceramic or stainless steel.
Make sure both of you agree, as you will be wearing these rings for the rest of your life. Or at least until it is time to replace your wife's ring with something bigger.
If the two of you cannot agree on the rings it is not imperative that both of your rings match. You both may have different styles and that is fine. Choose a wedding ring that you each like individually. The meaning of the ring is the same whether it matches or not.
You will want to try on both the woman's wedding ring and the men's wedding ring. Feel the weight of the bands and make sure it is comfortable for you to wear. Many people have jobs on a computer and if your ring is too heavy it will be very uncomfortable and you may end up taking it off.
Also, if you have a job that you work roughly with your hands you will want to make sure your ring fits your day-to-day lifestyle. You may not want a ring with a diamond that sticks way out. Diamonds set inside of the band may work better for you and your job. If you do not want diamonds in your wedding band, you may want to have a plain wedding band or one with etchings on the outside of it.
When selecting through men's wedding bands and women's wedding bands choose if you want a diamond or other stone inside of the wedding bands. You can make your bands much more personal by adding your own etchings on the outside of the wedding bands. To make your wedding rings even more personal you and your future spouse may want to have something engraved on the inside of the bands. Some examples of engravings may be; "I love you", "Always and Forever", a favorite scripture, your marriage vows, or names and dates of the marriage.
Enjoy choosing your wedding bands together and cherish the years ahead.
