No wedding band?????

I feel the same way! I have little fingers and my engagement ring is a very thin band and I don't want to add anything next to it. I love how dainty it looks, but FH acts like I'm a freak. I would be absolutely fine without getting a wedding band and then an anniversary one later that I might wear independent of my engagement.

My e-ring is part of a set that FH purchased (I showed him several I liked, he picked the favorite), so I will definitely be adding a wedding band. I know exactly what Megan is talking about - I have small fingers/hands, and I love how delicate these rings are. They're perfect for me

I know a few people who loved their e-ring just the way it was, and never added another band, so if you don't want to, you don't have to!

My set will look like this together:

I have been thinking about this alot. I have my grandma's ring..it's not a E Ring it's from the 40's platnium, diamonds and rubys.

It's a odd shape and I often wonder how I will wear a band with it.

I thought well...I'll move the e-ring to my middle finger and wear the wedding band on my ring finger

or

Get a small band sautered (sp?) on too this ring.

So glad you posted this. Does it make sense to get married with youe e-ring??? **sigh**

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Rings are a symbol, nobody says you have to have 18 rings to show you're married. Particularly with unique rings, they may look much better without an additional band.

You can absolutely use your engagement ring as your wedding band for that day. Why not?

Oh wow Diane, don't solder anything to that ring!!!!!!! It's SO special!

Some of my friends who have very different erings wear the wedding band on the right hand.

Wow Diane definitely don't touch that ring it is amazing and so unique! I love that.

I don't have a pic of mine put it's very dainty and sparkly with 6 side stone and a round diamond in a square setting.

@Megan and Kristn i want to keep the dainty look of mine too

I like the idea of wearing the band on the other hand but i already have FH's gmas engagement ring there. It was his promise ring to me so i really can't part with that one either.

So it's good to have the other opinions since i just had someobdy ask me the other day where the wedding band was, so i was like do i HAVE to have it to show marriage, ya know?

I have a wedding band along with my e ring..

My wedding band is an enhancer

@ Diane don't solder anything to your ring! It's beautiful and special just the way it it!

@M2H if you love everything the way it is, you don't HAVE to do anything Carry around the marriage certificate if you feel the need to prove you're married haha. I say stick with what you've got if that's what you're happy with.

No, you really don't have to have it. Create the combination that works for you the best. I wanted a just a tiny little wedding band, so that I can wear it without my ering. I sometimes wear both, sometimes neither, sometimes just one. I'm equally married on all those occasions :-)

Lol Kristn i like the marriage certificate idea. I'll just put it on a little platinum chain around my neck.

Oooh Aleisha i love your set it looks beautiful and still dainty.

@Mrs.S your always so encouraging its lovely.

We aren't doing rings. I have an e-ring. i feel like one ring per occasion is enough for me. lol. And I know he won't wear his or lose it since he works with his hands all day - he will take it off somewhere and forget it. So I told him he didn't have to wear it if he didn't want to. We are trying to think of something to take the place of the ring ceremony, like a handfasting or "tying the knot."

I'm in the same boat! My ering is a halo with a thick band and can't imagine any band looking right with it. I think I'm going to go with a very dainty plain band for symbolism during the ceremony since it won't be that expensive and that way I'll have an alternative to wear when I feel like something more casual.

Thanks Ladies!

I have a pretty large vintagey looking ring with intricate details on the sides and decided to not get an extra band. To propose, my FI gave me a band with diamonds on it as a "holder" ring until I picked out one I wanted, so that's the band I'll wear when we're traveling out of the country and if I just want a band. He doesn't want to wear a ring at all, so we're also trying to figure out what to do for the ceremony.

My engagement ring was my great-grandmother's ring from 1912. It's white gold (18k) with an intricate filigree design and an inset diamond. We were engaged in 2009 and I wore my ring daily. Sadly, my old ring could not take my daily abuse. Some of the thin filigree design broke or is in the process of breaking. I decided to "retire" my e-ring and we purchased cheap titanium bands from Etsy. I would like to wear my e-ring (alone) at some point in the future, but I haven't found any jeweler I trust with my antique ring yet (anyone know anyone?). I think it's totally fine to not wear a band (my e-ring is an unusual shape too). I only caved because my delicate ring is breaking

My e-ring is a set so I will have a band, but if you don't want to you really do not have to. If people want to know, just carry a copy of your marriage certificate and pull it out lol, just jokin.
