Wedding Bands

Did you surprise your SO with their wedding band or did they pick them out? I'm having the hardest time figuring out what I want to do. I sent a photo to my FH and asked him to pick out rings he liked. We have talked about colors so I stuck with ones I knew he would like. He narrowed it down to 2,...
Did you surprise your SO with their wedding band or did they pick them out? I'm having the hardest time figuring out what I want to do. I sent a photo to my FH and asked him to pick out rings he liked. We have talked about colors so I stuck with ones I knew he would like. He narrowed it down to 2, thing is I like them both! I did find another one on a different site that I can actually have engaged and it's quite a bit cheaper.
For those of you that did engrave what did you put? I'm really leaning on "My significant otter" with our wedding date 04/04/20 or I love you forever and always (depending on how many characters can be used)

    Oh no!! He hasn't said anything about them being that strict My dad quit wearing his wedding bad for the longest time and had ot on his key ring. He works with heavy machinery and almost lost his finger a few times from it getting caught. Now that they have the silicone bands I've noticed he has that on now.

    Welcome to life behind the ears. It’s about the company “look” and it being consistent across 30,000 employees. They have an office for it and everything. When he found a ring he liked, he emailed it in for approval. Came back no because it had the appearance of having the center open to a red (band? metal? thread?) and it would like it was a food risk. Look like. Wasn’t. It was a solid sealed surface. Also, the red was too distracting. Sigh. I hate that place sometimes.

    Haha men! no worries you still have time. I'm keeping an eye out for holiday sales to see if the ring he likes goes on sale. Maybe around the holidays you can bring it up again Smiley smile

    We looked at engagement rings for a long time before he proposed and we knew that we wanted something unique not right out of the case. My Engagement ring is from the 1930’s from an estate sale that our jeweler has acquired so before he proposed he had my wedding band custom made to match the ring. Since my ring is so unique we had his band custom made to match my style of ring. He had every bit of a say in his ring because he is the one wearing it. He absolutely loves it and tries it on just to look at it. Lol!! I think he is worse than me when it comes to jewelry.

    My FH actually already has his. Ge wanted a groove ring, and he wanted to wear it the whole engagement and I’m technically the one who proposed lol. If I get him another it’ll be for the ceremony and MAYBE special occasions like our anniversary or fancy events, otherwise it would live in the safe. We will most likely pick mine together if I don’t pick a ring that is already a set.

    He surprised me with mine when he proposed. I cant seem to find one that I like for him so we are going to go together and look for his ring.

    We went together to choose our bands. We wanted to make sure we each got what we wanted and I’m glad we did because I would have picked something totally different for him.

    Since he has to wear it, we discussed it. I wanted DH to have a ring that was similar to mine. He wanted something with color on it.

    I found a few, put them in a 🛒, took a screen shot and let him choose the one that he liked best.

    We will do it together. He has told me what he wants, but I would need him sized and would rather him pick it out. We will pick both our bands out at the same time I am sure.
