Is it okay if the bride and groom or husband and wife do not have matching wedding rings?

diamond wedding rings
kerochan asked:


My husband and I are planning to purchase our wedding rings. My husband and I want different style of wedding band… he wants a plain one while I want one with designs on it… I want one with diamonds while he wants without diamonds. I have been searching matching sets from several jewelry stores online and in malls and unfortunately haven’t found a matching set that we like. So can anyone tell me if it is okay if my husband and I have wedding rings that do not match? Thanks in advance who will answer my question.

    my husband (of one year) and i bought rings that we liked but which did’nt match. now they express our own unique natures but still tell us we’re married and will always be one. go with your personal tastes,no one answering will have to wear them . just you two good luck

    The ring is just a symbol for others…..not for the bride and groom. You know that you are married so it is not really important that they match.(At least that is the way I see it). My husband and I don’t wear rings at all.We figure it isn’t important for others to see that we have decided to spend our lives together as long as we know it in our hearts…….Good luck to you. =)

    YES!!!!! it’s always cool to be different. And besides how’s wearing the ring. Is it not enough that your already going to be together forever. So why have the same thing? That’s not what matters. Only care that you wear the ring, that’s what the true meaning of the ring is about.

    I have a fabulous 3 diamond platinum ring with a 5 diamond wedding band. My husband chose a nice silver ring with a simple diamond for his “work” ring, and a nice 2 tone gold and platinum ring for his “out on the town” ring. Get what you want. Get what he wants. Who cares if it matches? Wear matching t-shirts, thats always cute.

    no it is not okay. your marriage will be doomed since we all know that the rings matching is what makes or breaks the deal. you must sweat the small stuff!

    It is okay if the rings do not match. My husband and I have rings that do not match.

    That is perfectly fine. I have a gorgeous platinum band set with diamonds….my husband didn’t even want one! I finally convinced him to get something..so he got a $95 titanium band, he still doesn’t wear it most of the time! LOL

    It does not matter if they match. What matters is that you are happy together. Good luck!!!!!

    its absolutely fine not to match! I know many people dont, especially those with diamonds or special desgins. I know wedding bands that are the same are special, but you can get different ones with similar styles. Same color of gold, same basic shape, etc. Go for a ring with inset diamonds so they wont stick out, and it will match well with his simple band.

    I don’t think it is wrong to have mis-matching wedding bands, my husband and I do, so does my best friend and his wife.
    Unless it is some religous thing (not to be rude if it is). But it would be cool…it lets people know that you and your husband have different tastes, but are willing to work them out because you love each other.
    That right there should tell you and your husband that it doesn’t matter!
    Oh, I went through the same thing, my best friend told me not to worry about it.
    It still feels awkward. (I will get used to it though, only been married a few months).

    CONGRADULATIONS ON YOUR UPCOMING WEDDING!!!!!
