    not at all. personally i wont be getting my wedding ring engraved. i have nothing against it, but i dont really see the point. we might get them engraved in the future for an anniversary, but at the moment i dont really want it.

    as for matching rings, unless you want a very plain band i would say no. men can have rings with diamonds in them (my fiance and i are considering it, he wants his ring to be really good as its the only jewellery he will ever wear, and we have found some very masculine designs) but its not very common. very few couples have matching rings.

    diamonds on a mans ring is a no no

    It would be important solely to try to indentify if someone steals it or you lose it.

    Usually, the guy’s ring doesn’t have a diamond on it.

    Diamonds are a vanity.

    My parents had their names engraved in their wedding rings, but I don’t think it’s a rule that you have to. It is a neat idea though. I don’t think you have to have the same wedding rings either.

    i bet it helps a ton if you lose it!! but the rings are significant enough in my opinion. and mine is high maintenance while his was a forty dollar Titanium ring. it’s what he wanted!!!

    You don’t need to have anything engraved, if you don’t want that. I always said that we’d get ours engraved but it’s 2.5 years later and we’ve never done it. It’s ok.

    It’s ok if your rings aren’t identical. A lot of women have diamond wedding bands but their husbands have plain bands. I would just try to get matching metals (like, if your ring is yellow gold, his should be yellow gold too).

    no, of course not, to both. mine is a contour band: http://www.trueromance.net/styles/contour-wedding-bands fiance’s band is plain tungsten: http://www.tungstenworld.com/

    as for engraving, you don’t need to at all.
    we’re putting the 1st words ever said bt us (he said) on the rings. it’s an inside joke which makes it that much more special. GL.

    Initials are not mandatory in wedding rings. You can engrave whatever you like in them, or nothing at all.
    As for me, my wife and I have matching bands (Sure glad you did not ask what to do if a husband does not to wear a wedding ring!) with our initial engraved in them, along with our wedding date. The only difference in them is that on my ring, my wife’s initials are first, as mine are in hers.
    The reason: In a marriage, one should always put their spouse first! (Now, if that isn’t a Hallmark card waiting to be written, I don’t know what is.)

    This is between you and your finance’. Do not worry what the world thinks because they will drive you crazy. Do what you want. Men traditionally prefer a more simple band, some because of the type of work they do. I agree with this as it is only my opinion. You and he go and look at lots of places and come up with what works for you two. It’s your money and your rings.

    You can do whatever you like with your wedding bands, I think it is a great idea! Matching rings are cool, but adding a diamond to just yours will be great so you can always tell them apart but they will match for the most part!

    Congrats!
