    My engagement ring came with a corresponding band so mine. But we knew what band we were getting him. He is big into bourbon so we got him a bourbon barrel ring.

    My ring was kind of easy because there is one that matches my engagement ring. We just haven't gone and gotten it. My FH's ring was easy too because he's in the medical field so he is getting a silicon ring. He wanted a black ring so he just found the silicon one he liked and we're going to get that.

    Well, first off if your FH had a good experience where ever he got your ring, I recommend going there. It's always good to build a continuing relationship with a good jeweler (plus then you can go to the same place for any repairs or cleanings). Then, once you are there, it's very easy to look at multiple things. Even if you find ones you like it doesn't mean you have to even set up your payment plan that day. Most places can save what your interested in within their computer system, as well as work with you to design similar styles in your price range. I recommend doing it all together, it makes it easy to make a plan Smiley smile

    It came up at the same time. We both want plain, simple, gold wedding bands.

    I found my set after finding his band. However, I bought mine first, and still need to buy his.

    I'm not doing a wedding band. The engagement ring is beautiful as-is and I think a band would take away from it. We haven't picked out his ring yet though.

    Mine! My engagement ring came with a matching band that fits the shape of the ring. However, I kind of want to buy another one to match it, and just wear all three! His is super easy, I am going to get him a black tungsten ring.
