The One Ring to Rule Them All

Most people obsess over three things when they first get in engage:

1. What am I going to wear?
2. How much money is this wedding going to cost me?
3. And what's the ring going to look like...and how big?

While the first two are huge topics, the last one is easy enough to tackle...or attempt to tackle.

So you just got your engagement ring (or are you waiting on that?)- well you have two options:

Do you love it?    OR     Do you hate it?

If you love it then you can get a band to match it, if you hate it then get something completely different.

The Cost

 

While Ryan Reynolds can afford to spend $2,000,000.00 on a wedding ring, the traditional cost of a wedding ring is supposedly 2 months of your partner's salary. To some this may be a bit much (ranging anywhere from $1,000-$6,000) and to others this may not be enough. With a wedding to plan, you need to talk to your partner and decide where your money should go. Should it go to your rings? The Venue? A honeymoon? A Dress? Or maybe a down payment on a house?

FINAL NOTE

Once you have figured out (more or less) the type of style, cut, uniqueness, and cost of your ring; you can move on from this and proceed to the rest of wedding planning. I am personally plan to go with a simple and inexpensive ring due to the fact that I am a frugal persona and don't wear rings often and thus lose them. So I would rather have a $400.00 wedding ring that is unique, me, and easy to replace (and less likely to be stolen.)

 

I must admit that I am a fan of simply and elegant things. If I could, I would wear a simply piece of string like in "The Count of Monte Cristo"
