Wedding Band - saving money

Angelica, on November 2, 2021 at 10:56 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7
Hi, I’m getting married in July of 2022 (8 months away)
I was walking around my local mall the other day and saw a chain jewelry store was closing and had 50% off wedding bands. Originally I had a budget for $1500 for my wedding band, which is enough for a simple pave or 1/2 carat band. As I was browsing the stores sale items, I saw a 1 carat band which would be $1400 with the discount. I later went back with my fiancé so that he could see the amazing deal and see the ring for himself.
But, My fiancé was thinking we would get our wedding bands together from the same place he got my engagement ring. Should I forego this amazing steal so that we can go ring shopping together?

    Oh, that's a tough one! Does he not like the wedding band that is discounted? Is he planning to get a set that matches for the both of you?

    I think it is a bit off putting to him that it is “on sale” but I tried to explain that this might be the only way I could get something so nice in the budget we set.

    If this is 100% the ring you want, then I would take advantage of that sale! It’s not likely to present itself again

    Honestly if that's his reasoning, I'd tell him to get over it lmao. A beautiful ring that costs less than it should? Sounds like a win-win to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

    If it's something you want, you should go for it! If you think you might want something else and are only buying this ring because it's on sale, maybe hold off.

    Ha! He should definitely get over it. You each should have the bands you want. Get your dream band and go shopping for his together.

    There's no rule that says you need to get your bands at the same store as each other or as you got your engagement ring. If this is a good deal and a good quality ring (sometimes the chain places have cheaper items because the quality is also a lot cheaper).
