Do you think they should "match" or is it ok for them to be different?

My fiance looks better with yellow gold, but I look better with white, plus my e-ring is white...so getting yellow would look weird maybe.
You think it would be more symbolic if they matched or should we do whatever?

I always said I wanted white gold but I like the look of gold bands on men.
So I say do whatever you want! Who cares if they match... you know the meaning and thats all that counts

It's traditional to have them match, and it's what I prefer. But do what makes you happy!

I've seen people kill themselves over finding matching rings. Choose lesser-quality material, or rings that don't suit them to have a "set". Quite honestly though, how often are your left hands going to be close enough together that people go, "My, what an amazing wedding set you have between you!"?

My DH and I got lucky - we both like white gold. Mine is a simple channel set band, white gold and 12 diamonds, and his is a plain white gold band. He can't wear his though, because of his job, and he doesn't want to put it on while he's at home and risk forgetting he has it on, because then he'd have to take it off at work, and he'd lose it, so he just doesn't wear a wedding ring, and I think that's ok too. We know we're married.

I think it is up to you. Some people get into the whole matching thing. DF and I are all about getting our own thing, I have white gold and his is titanium.

I think you find what you like best. No reason to dislike the band you get. We both have white gold bands. He is a very traditional band and my mind is simple but the edges are more squared off and it matches my e ring perfectly.

I wished there was an other option..:lol I'm a believer that the bands should match but speaking from experience, I don't want an "ugly" band..Therefore, I feel it's actually up to each person to get what they like & be happy with it instead of feel :pukey everytime they see the rings.

I don't think it matters. My husband wears titanium and I wear white gold. We picked what was best for us.

Ours are two-toned. My ring is yellow gold with the prongs being white gold. Bryan's current ring is yellow gold with the edges being white gold. He had a tungsten ring with a yellow gold inlay so it matched perfectly to my ring.....before he went and LOST it. :tears

DF's is black titanium, mine is white gold...and they look pretty together!!!

I don't think it matters... we just got whatever we liked. Mine is white gold and his is tungsten. But, matching is always nice, too.

It's traditional to have them match, and it's what I prefer. But do what makes you happy!

that's what I was going to say :yes

i think that it doesn't matter the color just as long as the two of you are happy with the wedding bands

it doesnt matter what they look like as long as you like it.

I say pick your own and don't worry about matching or color or any of that. Adam and I don't even have rings. We just don't care. It seems to me like people should just do what THEY want and not worry about what anyone else thinks about it. :yes

get what you want, who cares if they match??

I say get what makes YOU happy and can afford of course :P
Ours do not match but we picked them out together. His white gold and yellow gold and was pretty $$ but its gorgeous. Mine on the other hand is a petite white gold band with 5 diamonds in the middle of it and I love it!! (L)

I say go with what you each like and don't worry about getting them to match.

We got married at the JOP and didn't have either of our rings. We bought them at different times and they didn't match. Looking back I wish we would have saved the money on his and used it towards something else. He never wore the thing and now we don't have a clue where it is.

ours match. it was a personal choice, not a must. i say pick your own.

pick your own that's what dh and i did. he didn't want anything in his and i wanted diamonds in mine so we picked our own

We picked each others (not knowing what they looked like until the ceremony)...They are both white gold...

I worked in jewlery for years and most people don't worry about matching each other as much. Usually the wife is concerned with looking for something that matched her engagment ring and the husband goes for comfort and something ok to wear whiel working. Each of you should get what you like and what your most comfortable wearing, don't worry so much about matching. just a little advice.....Congats on the Wedding by the way! :cp

We picked our own.. they ended up matching though!

I prefer them to be matching, but ours don't. DH's is a white gold band with diamond etching and divit type of carvings on it, and my band is yellow gold with a carat of princess cut, channel set diamonds that are *SPARKLY*. :P I want ours to match, but the ring that DH has now is REALLY comfortable and he hasn't found another one that he likes, so that's why we don't have matching rings. I understand why some people don't have them, but I prefer to have them match.

My engagement ring is gold, so is the wedding ring.. but I know DF is getting a white wedding ring.

DH's band belonged to his deceased Grandfather and it was gold, so I did pick out a gold set but it dosen't match DH's (only in color)

Our's are both going to have diamonds :teehee His might be two toned, an mine is going to be white gold.
