    We picked ours together online, but we found one I liked and got his to match, but if we couldn't find one that he liked I would have gotten something different to match. We also bought matching Honeymoon Rings because we aren't used to going to the beach, so we don't want to risk losing the nice bands. We picked his out first and mine to match!

    We bought his first but I started looking for mine first. We each picked out and bought our own actually.

    My husbands band. It was chosen while we were in college because it was on sale and the only one we seen like it. It was $99 and I got it and kept it. He designed my rings custom so it was not finished until a month before the wedding.

    My fiance had both my engagement ring/wedding band before even proposing. Absolutely love them. We then chose a band for him afterwards.

    Hi JJAF! I totally get what you mean, especially if we're going to be wearing it everyday, it's a big decision! Smiley heart

    Makes perfect sense, Alyrae! Smiley heart I am not sure I will be doing a wedding band either. Does he have any ideas what he wants for his ring yet?

    We both know exactly what we want, we are still trying to find them in our price point though.

    We both want Claddaghs but I would really like one that is carved into the band so that it doesnt bump too much against my engagement ring which has an oval stone in the center with a thin twisting band. Something like this:

    possible ring ideaWhich came first: choosing your wedding band or your fiancé(e)'s band? 1 The twists on the side would also echo my engagement ring band.

    We made the decision at the same time. We dont care if they match each other, we wanted each other to be comfortable with theirs

    My wedding band was purchased first... I had to get his made the way he envisioned it to be.. I did.. it wasn't too bad in cost.
