Which came first: choosing your wedding band or your fiancé(e)'s band?

How did you handle shopping for wedding bands? Did you knock them both out in the same shopping trip, or try them on separately? Who’s wedding band did you purchase first? Smiley ring

    We decided to be non traditional and buy our own wedding bands. Mostly because I felt badly that he would have to pay for the engagement ring AND the band. I bought mine last month and he will buy his...probably at the last minute! Lol! Smiley winking

    My fiancé bought my engagement ring 💍 and his band at the same time! He didn’t know I was supposed to buy his band.

    We bought them at the same time! My FH was allergic to the ring he picked out though. So by default I guess we had picked out mine first!

    We haven’t gone yet but we both know what we want! We’ll need to go to a jeweler for mine, but his we’ll buy online... so I’m guessing that mine will be purchased first!

    My band came as a set with my engagement ring, I haven't bought FW's band yet.

    My bands! FH didn't even want a band, he has a job where rings take a beating. So I found him one on Amazon. He knew what my band was going to be when he picked up my e-ring.

    We got my FH’s first! He is super picky, so we just went to the store for him to try some on and get an idea of styles. He put this one on and his eyes lit up, so I knew we had to get it!

    Mine is going to be really easy, because I have a custom engagement ring, and the jewelry store already showed us the band that will go with my engagement ring. So I know exactly what I’m getting, we’re just going to wait a few more months to order it.

    I decided that I didn't want the band that came with my ring, which made it twice as difficult to find one. He wasn't so worried about his because he already knew exactly what he wanted. Took us 3 mo to find mines and I purchased his like a week later. We ended up buying each others rings.

    My rings were bought together as a set. His was bought about two months later.

    My engagement ring came with the wedding band, so my fiancé bought both on the same day. We still have to find a wedding band for him, but our wedding isn't until January 2020, so we have time.

    My engagement ring and bands are a set. Haven’t bought FH’s band yet. He has major limitations on what he can wear at work so it may take some looking.
