Wedding Band Regret

The title says it all! Back in December, FH and I decided to look at wedding bands on a whim. I found one that looked nice, FH loved, and the lady at the store said was "perfect" for my ring.

Back in December, FH and I decided to look at wedding bands on a whim. I found one that looked nice, FH loved, and the lady at the store said was "perfect" for my ring. The thing is, it wasn't what I was planning on getting. I bought it (stupid choice) and I thought I would like it more. Well I didn't, I finally told FH and yesterday we went to exchange it. And I can finally say I LOVE my new band. It's so much simpler than before and it fits my personality so much better! So here it is! And I would love to see everyone else's set of you have it!

    Mrs1780- I didn't even notice the gap. Your rings look great together!

    Beth S- how exciting! I was afraid I would need to go custom as well, I was so excited then my rings fit. Your rings look great!

    Love the new one. I'm starting to regret the ring I got, but because of the price not the style.

    Band regret, like dress regret is real, dude. I returned two wedding bands before I finally got one that I love. Your new one is gorgeous. It goes so well with your engagement ring.

    I love your new ring. And the fact that you could get another one for special occasions and still save, that's awesome!

    DH bought both of my rings at the same time. Don't mind the sugar glider.. lol This pic was already on my desktop for easy access in the selfie thread. I'm too lazy to hunt for another one right now :-p

    I decided at the last minute (3 weeks before the wedding) that I really wanted a band. The jeweler rushed a special custom order because I wanted blue topaz instead of diamonds. I'm not in love with it. We've already discussed replacing with different stones for an anniversary down the road.

    I'm glad you got something you like and the 2nd band to go on top looks awesome!

    Here's mine! It's not sized yet (hence no actual ring finger photo).

    Need to finish paying for it then it will be sized for me Smiley smile

    Wedding bands seem really popular. I decided not to get one because I don't want any more bulk than what I already have, and I don't know what I could get that would match my ring but still be simple. Is that a bad decision?

    Almostmrsb, it's a personal decision. For some people it has a lot of symbolism and is a critical part of the wedding. For others, it's not such a big deal, and they will use the e-ring during the wedding ceremony, or use a different ring during the ceremony that they don't intend to wear on a daily basis. I'm in the latter camp with you-- it would be hard to match my ring, and I love it as is. I got a plain band that matches FH's for cheap on Amazon, so I'll wear that instead of my e-ring while traveling or whatever. But otherwise, I'll just stick with the one ring.
