Mismatched wedding rings

FH are starting to pick out our wedding rings so I show him this set I love that are white gold and he tells me he wants a yellow gold ring. That wouldn't be a big deal except I hate yellow gold and have mentioned this to him repeatedly while we have been together. I want him to get a ring he loves...

FH are starting to pick out our wedding rings so I show him this set I love that are white gold and he tells me he wants a yellow gold ring. That wouldn't be a big deal except I hate yellow gold and have mentioned this to him repeatedly while we have been together. I want him to get a ring he loves but I also want to love my wedding band. And I feel like it's weird if they don't match or at least coordinate. So I have no idea what to do about our wedding rings now. Am I making too big a deal out of a simple situation?

    I have never heard of coordinating wedding bands. I think you are fine. Mine is COMPLETELY different from FH as we have totally different styles in jewelry.

    You should both be comfortable with what you are wearing and if that means mis-match then so be it. My husband and I don't match either. His ring is tungsten and mine is white gold.

    If anything, having a mis-match would actually provide for much more interesting photos (less vanilla). I betcha that your photographer will have a lot more fun creating a unique "story" with your rings that way.

    MY FH wants a huge biker style ring which does not match my halo diamond and sapphire ring at all. But he doesn't ask for much and it is something he has to wear for the rest of his life and I want him to love it as well. We are going to see if they can custom make the center stone to be sapphire instead of onyx though... http://nightriderjewelry.com/store/rings/fleur-de-lis.html

    You should both have a ring that you will want to wear for the rest of your life. It doesn't matter if they match. Let him pick what he likes.

    Mine is platinum and diamonds, his is carbide. Why do they need to match?

    I don't think they have to match. It's whatever each of you prefers!

    I personally don't think it matters if your bands match. I've never heard of people buying rings specifically to have them match. My rings are white gold, and FH's are tungsten. My bands both have a row of diamonds, while his is more textured with no diamonds.

    I got over the matching ring thing. My engagement ring, and wedding ring are rose gold. Fh hates rose gold. So we got him a sterling silver band with a wood inlay.

    Wow... I come back from work to all this. Thank you ladies! Clearly I'm horribly out of date in my beliefs on this one. Which is great! I love that we can both get what we want and not have to worry about being subjected to a million eye-rolls and lectures on how we did the most important, life long symbol, wrong. FH will be happy to know he was right. Although I still wanted to sock him when he looked at me all stunned saying, "I didn't know you don't like yellow gold" after I asked permission from him and his parents to have my yellow gold engagement ring (his mother's ring) dipped to be white gold. Sometimes men just don't notice things...

    Ours don't match either, but he absolutely loves his ring and since he is the one who has to wear it for the rest of his life, i'm totally okay with whatever he wants!!

    I don't think your wedding bands need to match or even coordinate. You both should love your rings and be happy with them- after all, the plan is to wear them every day for the rest of your lives!
