Don't you think a woman should buy a wedding ring for her husband to be?And not the man  buying both rings?

I think the whole tradition of rings should be done away with.  Is it really necessary to spend thousand of dollars on pieces of metal to show your commitment to each other.  Save the money and invest or buy something you actually need.  If you are going to stay with this old ritual I dont see any reason to try and update by sharing the cost so I guess I would say let the man buy both if you insist on tradion.  It is traditional after all.

I think its perfectly fine for a girl to ask a guy to marry her. In fact its exactly what I did and its good to know other ladies are considering it. \n\nI have been going out with my boyfriend for a long time and on our 5 year anniversary I asked him to marry me. It was probably the most nerve racked time of my life. I bought him a nice manly ring and set out our living room in candles and poured some wine. He was quite surprised and actually said he was supposed to do it. But he said yes - and like you I was so worried he wouldn't.\n\nThe biggest thing is to recall conversations you have had about marriage in the past and see if he had a positive outlook. What I found is they just need a little prodding and thats the best way. Now we have ordered my ring and he wants to have his chance to ask me too - even though we are technically already engaged. But I definitely don't mind a little extra romance in my life.\n\nI say take the chance I found it well worth the effort.

When my husband and i were planning our wedding, we went to purchase him a wedding ring. we went to a ma and pop jewelery store in the town that we live in(keep it in the community). He found one he liked and it had an Opal mount in it. Well we do construction for a living and neither one of us wear our rings to work. but we do at home and we do alot around our house. Over the first year his ring got bent all to hell. It was a very thin ring. So for our anniversary i wanted to have it remade. I had a bunch of scrap gold to put torwords the construction of the new ring to make it thicker. So I decided to take it back to the store we purchased it from.I explained the situation to the lady. NOT that the situation mattered.I just wanted to pay to make a new ring. She told me that I was lieing about him wearing the ring to work.In my own rage I argued it with her knowing the situation did not matter.I just Knew That bhe didnt.But she just knew that he did. I ended up taking the ring to a locl pawn shop and a jeweler there remade a Georgous replica of the origional and alot more durable

I think you should have whatever you want. If a topaz has sentimental meaning for you, that's far more important than a diamond. Giving diamonds is a tradition someone else started; it's not your tradition. Too many people follow the herd and do what they think everyone else wants them to do. Good for you for wanting to do your own thing. What I think is classy  and beautiful is a woman with a wedding band and no engagement band at all, so you could consider that, and wear the topaz separately.

Usually the couple buys the wedding rings together.  Couples like to have matching sets, so it's easier to get them at the same time.  \n\nWe bought our engagement and wedding rings together, and he paid for the engagement ring but we both paid for the wedding rings since our incomes were combined by then.

I'm not sure why he would even bring it up if he hasn't found the ring yet. I think he is feeling you out to see how you feel about it.In my opinion if he wanted to do it right he would have said nothing, found a ring and then proposed. I think he's scared you don't want too. No he has not technically proposed.

Your wedding day is a joint venture!  A lot of brides forget its about the groom too! hahah I say - SURE if he's that interested in the details and you both agree on the style of dress and theme if he wants to buy your wedding dress - how special is that? Thats wonderfully sweet of him. Just make sure you both agree on the details. The japanese theme and kimono sound beautiful.

I believe that same gender marriages should be allowed and I am happily married and not cheating on my spouse.But I do agree with you. Divorce and adultry are blatant attacks on marriage so they should be banned to if they are going to use that arguement against same sex unions.

That's a damn good question. I'm married and ALWAYS wear my ring. I have friends who are married, but don't wear theirs. I've asked and always get some limp dick excuse about not wanting to ruin it or they don't like wearing jewelry (but they wear other rings and bracelets).\n\nDoesn't make sense to me either!

Go shopping together just to "check out" rings and watch for a reaction to see which style they like.  Then figure your budget and when your ready pick a ring based on what she liked.  This worked for my husband.  I saw 4-5 rings that I really liked and he went back and purchased one similar to one of my favorites.\nGood Luck

if u are planning to marry this guy, u have think about 100 times.  a man should be the head of the family and provider.  the wife is just there to help the husband bring some income.  what are u planning to do, support him financially?  that's not good.

The man purchases the engagement ring and wedding band for the woman, and the woman buys the wedding band for the man.

I say no, because I refuse to see it any other way. I believe if a woman is being who she needs to be for her man and vice versa for husband that shouldn't come up or if they're are problems the relationship needs to be open and strong enough for your spouse to come to you w/ any issues. Am I right or wrong?

I would sit down and take an objective analysis.  If he doesn't move you the way he once did, I wouldn't head down to the jewelers to try on that engagement ring immediately.  I am a complete romantic, and I believe that someone should move your heart completely, and the one that is for you, will.  Try and be fair though, while you're thinking of all the little things he did for you once and doesn't do much anymore, do you do the little things to please him still?  If you want to be with him as a wife, you should talk to him, very honestly and openly, about all the possibilities, including ya'll not getting married.  He should know what's going on instead of being put on trial without a defense.  I hope that everything works out for you both.

It is wrong because one of them would not be his wife. I am not the type to castigate you for what you believe in and want to do, but i think a man should only do it with his wife.

Ask him about it, if it is a lady who sells wedding rings for a living it would be good for him to call it!!! Just ask him, you have to have trust to have a relationship!
