My goodness-I didn't realize I was going to start World War 3, as I apparently did in the other post.
Anyways, lets stick to WEDDING RINGS ONLY the second time around if you wish to respond.
Here is the question again:
Here is one which is a bit unusual.
As most of you know, I am going to tie the knot very soon.
My fiancee feels having and wearing a wedding ring all the time including in bed(no jokes please) is very important.
I will do anything to please her(which is what counts), but if I had my way, I probably would not wear it around the house but only when I or we go out.
My question for you married guys is 1) do you wear your wedding ring and how often and 2) (a lady could answer this also) what is an appropriate amount to spend for a wedding band(not talking engagement rings), and whether it would be insulting to her if I spent more on her wedding band than mine as long as they appeared to match(as the ring for her is more important to her than mine would be for me)?
Thanks in advance for any response.
ps Without being nosy, if any of you guys want to tell me how much you spent for your wedding rings and how long ago, I would appreciate it.
Before you answer, and speaking of engagement rings, I am going to tell you what happened and hopefully humor you with the engagement ring I have already bought for my fiancee last August when I visited her the first time:
Anyways, after spending some time with her and after we decided we wanted to marry, I decided that I wanted to surprise her and buy her an engagement ring.
Well, not knowing what is appropriate, I asked the lady who runs the office in Cartagena(Colombia) for Foreign Affair(the international agency which helps to match up men and women from all over the world what is appropriate.
Now don't fall off your chair laughing;she told me it is traditional for the man(especially a foreigner) to buy his fiancee a zircon ring;I said "Are you sure?"(as the ring looks nice but is very inexpensive);She assured me that this is the case and that she(my fiancee) would love it and she actually helped me pick one out;she did say though that one of the reasons that they (the Agency) encourage rings of this type is that if I bought her a more expensive one, she might be robbed or some folks would make it a point to try to steal it(it is a poor country).
She told me that once she came to the States, well then I should go out and buy her something better.
Anyways, I surprised my fiancee with the zircon and she LOVED it(remember she is poor and doesn't know western ways(thank god for that) and showed it off to all her friends, who also loved it.
After I am sure this marriage will work, I will buy her one of those described in the other thread.
Anyways, I hope you got a chuckle out of that, and now, here is the question one more time for those of you who don't want to scroll back:
