The Bands

Not the music. The rings! Wedding rings should be stylized to the duo's tastes. Of course, I'm still waiting for feedback, but what I love is Rose Gold. Rose gold has a fire to it that shines in the light with a reddish tint. Traditionally wedding bands are just that, bands, but there have been rings with stones in them, typically for the lady.

Of course, there's no limit to the kind of ring you get. The engagement ring is meant to be the real shocker, but the wedding ring should be agreed upon for matching. Of course, some traditionalists tend to pass down heirlooms from kin to kin, and while it saves on cost, it's also a memento that has more than new value. The only issue is sizing, which is why some new couples choose to do their own wedding bands anyway.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with either way. Generally it's left up to the wedded to decide. I'm of the 'it never hurts to look' persuasion myself. Ideally, I lean towards the simpler styles, as I don't want something that will get hit too much, or cause a problem with daily wear.

A fun fact: In Hindu weddings, the bride is given a Mangalsutra that she will wear for the rest of her married life. It's kind of like our version of the wedding ring.
