Yes, that’s right my friends. Mr. Powder Puff and I bought our wedding bands this past weekend. I hate to say it, but we’re one of those sappy couples that got matching rings. That’s basically one step away from matching leisure suits and “His” and “Her” towels. And I kinda like it!
His: A 5mm white gold band
Hers: A 3mm white gold band
It was a smidge difficult to find a band that fit well with my engagement ring. I’ve always known that I wanted a plain white gold band, gorgeous in its simplicity, that would look great with and without my engagement ring. Since my e-ring is in a low setting with a Celtic love knot on either side, most of the wedding bands sat a little too far away from it for my taste. But this ring is just low enough that it bypasses the love knots and looks perfect. Yay!
And I have to say, I looove the way Mr. Powder Puff’s ring looks on his hand! I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s love, coupled with the realization that in a few short weeks he is going to be my HUSBAND. And seeing that ring on his finger makes it all the more real.
Did you and your fiance get matching rings? Or did you choose something different?
I have done a couple post on the boards about needing to match! There is just something nice about the rings being a set that makes the people wearing them a set too. 
We definitely chose something different, but I agree re: the look of a wedding ring on his hands. For some reason, I loved the look, and it made me feel great. I guess it screams commitment, which isn’t a bad thing, is it?
Ours are completely different. I ordered his and I’m a little sad that he’s too superstitious to try it on. Oh well. His is a white gold 7mm band with a miligrain around it and is engraved on the inside. Mine is actually two bands with curved diamonds on the top and two diamonds on the side (it’ll make a circle around my solitare).
wow our rings are like identical to yours! i think maybe even the same mm measurements (except in platinum instead of white gold)
we had custom made rings so that they would match my e-ring and be perfectly matched to each other, just like us. and I love sappy!!!
My husband has a 6mm platinum in the same style. It’s simple yet beautiful.
Ours couldn’t be more different. Mine is a very thin white gold band with diamond chips, his is the widest ring I’ve ever seen (it takes up half the space between knuckles) and is made of tungsten, so it looks blackish-silver.
Ours don’t match a bit. It makes me a little sad, but I really wanted him to pick something he would love. I’m going to have to do a post on this soon, I think.
I don’t think its cheesy to have matching rings I love the idea.
Mr Frenchie really wants milgrain on his ring and I’m not a fan, so we’re going w/ different styles but the same metal
I so said “awww” in my head when I read the statement about the ring on his finger making it feel all the more real. I love the look of matching rings! Part of me hopes that’s what we decide on…but we’re still figuring it out.
Even though they match, I don’t think this falls in the category of “you’re so mushy cute im going to puke” type of thing. I think this falls in the “these are beautiful and meaningful to us, and thats what its all about” type of thing. Ours dont match, but they coordinate and that was important to us.
He wants ours to match which was something I’d never considered. I figured I’d do a bunch of diamonds and well, he wouldn’t.
So… we shall see!
we both have bling, does that count? Champ wanted a little man-bling and I don’t mind as long as it’s not over the top! Sometimes simple is very nice, and honestly who would notice if they matched anyway?
We got matching ones and we love love love them. We saught out something cool and engraved and we found the neatest sort of weave pattern that reminds us of our love and being intertwined-we are sappy too!! Having matching bands makes us feel like we have Team Rings. Team Us.
We don’t match, but we would’ve liked to. We just couldn’t find anything that worked for both of us.
I didn’t realize I was so traditional in some things until this wedding planning began. I knew from the get go that I wanted matching wedding bands!! I don’t know, for me, it’s the epitome of marriage! Our jeweler even asked if I wanted it in a smaller band, but I wanted it to be as thick as my FI’s. I just like the thought of us with matching wedding bands and becoming one. Cheesy, I know.
Ours won’t match, but I hear ya on thinking a ring looks super sexy on your betrothed’s hand — I can’t wait until Mr. Bruschetta’s comes in and we can pick it up!
eeee! I love your bands. So classic. One of the things that I’m looking forward to is looking at my FI’s hand after we get married and seeing the band there. *sigh*
Is Mr. PP wearing his ring already? Or did he just try it on? My FI wanted to wear his ring, but I said NO WAY! Not til we’re official! But I think it’s cute he wants to wear it now!! Shows that he’s excited too! Ours don’t match, but they’re perfect for our personalities, so I don’t mind.
