The Great Wedding Band Debate

I have a huge decision to make and I keep going back and forth! I know I am being dramatic and this is really a fun thing to have to worry with. My engagement ring is so beautiful-I love it so much and it is perfectly unique for me. It does have a unique shape to it so a flat wedding band will not sit flush on it. When I first saw the ring, I thought-"oh no!" I love it, but what will I do for a wedding band??? These are my options:

a. No band-just wear the engagement ring because it is pretty enough to stand alone

b. Have a band custom made to fit against the ring by the jeweler who designed and made the engagement ring. If I choose this option, I have already spoken to the jeweler and he suggests a thin band with small channel-set round diamonds to match my ring.

c. Get a traditional wedding band, wear it on my right hand and then if I ever don't want to wear the full on engagement ring, I can just wear the band on my left hand.


I need your opinion! Is anyone out there that has faced this dilemma?

finding a wedding band was WAY harder for me than i thought it would be... not for the same reasons, but still. i know your concerns :)

i have friends who only wear their engagement ring, and i don't think that's weird at all.

however, if you're a traditionalist like i am and want/need a wedding band because you've always thought you'd have one, i think you should do the third option and wear it on your right hand.

i (personally--take it or leave it) don't think i would feel married if i didn't wear a wedding bad, but that's just me. do what you're comfortable with!

i definitely think your ring is gorgeous enough to stand on it's own! :)
