wedding ring advice

lindsey_toffee_girl

Hey all I have just been to get my wedding bands yeah only when we were in the shop Fi decided to spring it on me he wanted yellow gold, this was when the woman asked. I have white gold I just wanted them to match, I suppose I am being silly as it is him that is wearing it not me, what do you think?

I wrongly assumed that my HTB would have palladium - the same as me, but he wants yellow gold too. I have to admit I was a bit miffed at first, but there's no point in getting something he doesn't really like is there? They're the exact same rings though - just different colours (and sizes!). I'm totally fine with it now xx

my OH wants to have white gold the same as me but if he wanted anything else i would be fine with it, as long as he's fine with what he's wearing i'm fine too (i hate yellow gold with a passion though)

I am not a fan either though he is not a fan of white also the lady in the shop said it is making a huge come back!

I think oh is going for silver when we get ours - he's exactly the same as me in that he's got a skin tone that doesn't suit yellow gold at all (my engagement ring's white gold). Silver watches and stuff look yummy on his skin though so he ain't getting a choice in the matter

My h2b is having his late fathers wedding band which is an old rose(ish) coloured band, perfect fit too, so my shiny new band - when I get it, is going to be a different colour.

There isnt much point paying alot of money for something which he isnt happy with so why not have something different, there is no law to say they have to be the same/similar.

So long as you are both happy, then thats all that matters.

I do have to say though, well done for not sulking, because if i wasn't pre warned i would have sulked!
