    Hi Maren! I’m planning on a floating diamond eternity band - my stack will look like this Smiley heart

    My fiancé is looking into a tungsten and wood band, which totally fits his personality!

    FH's because he just wants a simple gold band.

    We have no idea for my wedding band though. We'll be going in sometime early next year to look at options!

    My ring. Fiancé has no idea what he wants, but my engagement ring has a matching wedding band that I love so that’s what we’re getting.

    We bought our bands together, but I think we figured out his before selecting mine in our same visit.

    Well we technically found mine first but that is because he didn't find one he liked at the first store we went to. we still found and purchased both in 1 day.

    My wedding band but that was because my engagement ring has a band that goes with it so there wasn't really anything to choose.

    Thank you! They are white gold! Band is an eternity band. Engagement ring is a half carat diamond with small diamonds on the band.

    My engagement ring came with a pretty band, so mine. He's got simple tastes, just wants a simple gold band. I am saving for that now

    We picked out his band first and I’ve had a few mind changes 😅 he actually picked his band out and that’s how we decided on rose gold for my engagement ring! He liked the “copper” look.

    I wish FH got my band when he bought the engagement ring but nope. So mine comes with one and we're still debating for him.

    My engagement ring came with the wedding bands (there are two for mine) and I bought his on Amazon. I know, a little risky, but it's more risky buying clothing on there than jewelry. We went into a jewelry shop to figure out his ring finger size, and I sent him a few pictures of different rings and let him choose the band he wanted. I bought it and I had him try it on just to be safe and it fits him like a glove. Totally cheap, great quality, and super fast shipping. Although, he now refuses to give it back and wears it all the time lol

    We tried picking them at the same time since Black Friday was having amazing deals. I ended up finding mine, but he didn’t find his until about a week later.
