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

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.    =)

You're going to be wearing this ring for a long, long time, hopefully for the rest of your life, so for heaven's sake, get what you like! A good bet is to think about the jewelry you wear now, the stuff you find yourself grabbing again and again because you prefer it and it flatters you (watch, earrings, necklaces, etc.) If it's mostly yellow gold, then that's probably what you should choose in a wedding ring.\n\nAnd, no, there's no reason in the world that your two rings need to match. You are two different people, with two different styles, which is a great thing, and should be celebrated. (by the way, my fiancee chose an antique styled yellow gold band, and I chose a more modern styled white gold one. we have the same psalm inscribed in our rings, which unites our two very different styled rings.)\n\nGood luck, and congrats!

If you're not used to wearing a ring, it's normal to forget sometimes in the beginning.  I forgot sometimes, and when I got married my husband forgot often for the first few months.  Stress to her how much the ring means to you, and forgive her if she doesn't remember it all the time.  She said yes, she means it, don't worry so much.

You can if you want to.  A lot of brides do.  I'm getting married in a few weeks and we decided not to exchange gifts just because we don't have the extra money, plus we decided to buy a dog after the wedding.

I think it depends on the pastor marrying them, the church, and the denomination sometimes. There isn't a set of rules like that that goes for every church. They should maybe look at some other ones?

Plain band= married, just a v. decorative ring with a stone in= engaged, plain band + decorative ring= married. Usually! Hope that helps! :)

Important part of the wedding ceremony is exchanging wedding rings between bride and groom and that is a memorable moment as it will remind of commitment, devotion, and love throughout the years of life together. Because of such importance, wedding rings are chosen carefully and thoughtfully, knowing the perfect wedding rings vary for every one and comes to be very personal\n\nIf you elope, are you going to let everyone know when you get back that you are married?  That would be important to know when answering this question.

Good question, I wonder that also, but some do, my brothers getting married soon and  he got his girlfriend an engagement ring and then a wedding ring, they just don't do it like the old days anymore I guess...

An engagement ring from some-one close to you or some-one you wanted to marry?

Assuming that you were all invited I would think it would a breach of etiquette to do that but honestly I don't see a problem with it.  First of all the couple isn't going to know because there are usually so many people at weddings they wouldn't even know that weren't at the actual ceremony. When the bride comes down the aisle she is going to have her eye on one person.......the groom.  I doubt anybody would even notice if you just showed up at the reception.  Secondly for all they know you could have to work or something and could only make it in time to the reception.  If you really don't want to go to the ceremony I wouldn't blame you for just going to the reception and giving the happy couple your well wishes.

They don't have to.  Yes, I would say that is a wedding ring.

My fiance and I have been toghether for 6 years.  We know we are going to be together, and I would probably end up losing the ring somewhere anyway..  SERIOUSLY.  If he HAD to get me something, I would prefer he spend the money on something we can have or do together, or put the money he would have spent on the ring into savings.  Because no one should ever get married until they can support each other.  That is what being married is all about.  I don't know why all these KIDS are getting married, but they are living with their parents, or having to call home for money, or having kids...it makes no sense.  My sister got married 2 years ago, had a big wedding, and now she is divorced.  We have been toghether for 6 years, and we are still together.  We just finished college two years ago, and will not be married until we are in a financially stable position to be married.

When I got married a lot of people didn't turn up, I was a little disappointed but fully understood that the world does not revolve around me. Anyone who has their head out of the clouds will be ok about it as long as you let them know in advance that you won't be attending. I was a bit annoyed that a few people didn't do that for me & a lot of food was wasted because of it.

I would say totally appropriate, probably 99% of weddings I've been to in the last 5 years have had some type of drop-box system for the cards.  Keeps from other people stealing them!

The ring symbolizes the concept of the groom encompassing, protecting and providing for his wife.\nThe groom does not get a wedding ring in Jewish tradition.

well i think if you end an engagment yes she should give it back because the ring is given as a basically agreement that you will end up getting married. if you end the engagment than you can't get married so that agreement is broken. so yeah you should get it back and if she doesn't you could always sue her if you think it's worth the money.

It is something that everyone thinks about, I mean, humans are attracted to many others than just their spouse, it is natural, we are animals all in the same sense. So, as long as there is a mutual agreement, and one from the other couple/person then there should not be much trouble.
