Here’s a fun article by one up-and-coming bride about her search for wedding bands. But in my opinion, it strikes me as funny that they are looking for the cheapest wedding band possible for him (the bride mentions that a $900 Scott Kay band was just too expensive, but a $113 wedding band was just right). Hey - we all have budgets. But the man’s poor wedding band seems to be an after thought more times than not. The future groom eventually settles for a tungsten band, and tungsten is a pretty cool looking metal. I wonder if the jewelry store mentioned that tungsten can break?
In any case, as long as the bride and groom are happy, then that’s all that matters! Good luck to them both.
Success! He has a ring!
We had a daunting task ahead of us today: wedding band shopping.
I don't think either of us were looking forward to this - but it had to be done! We're both pretty indecisive, it can take forever for us to make a decision - we have to weigh all the options.
We started at Long's in Natick - friendly service guy (well, they all were everywhere we went, which was good), nice selection. The bands were pricey, but we narrowed down a couple to keep on "the list." Next we went to Barmakian, right down the street. Our sales guy was also getting married in October (next year) so that was fun. I must say, they had a HUGE selection and their rings were much more reasonably priced. We added a couple more rings to the list.
By this time, his finger is throbbing from the countless amount of rings being pushed onto it, and he's not really feeling anything. The sales people told us, "when you find the right one, you'll just know." Hmm, I was dubious - they said the same thing about finding a wedding gown and I never had that feeling...
