These '
One Piece' Wedding Rings give you the entire package right now. The whole finished look. You no longer have to wait patiently for the
BIG DAY!Maybe you'll get lucky and find one of those Wedding Sets where the Wedding Band is just a little sliver or Gold fitted up against the Engagement Ring? (see photo)
These little flush bands are called 'Shadow Bands'. It's thin, it doesn't really change the look of the ring any. It's main purpose is just for "Tradition Only!" It's just basically saying, "I have a Wedding Band!" No other reason.
I always laugh at that. Why Bother? That little thin piece of metal is the incentive to get married? It's silly. Women get the entire look now and aren't even concerned about that little Wedding Band Trinket! BAH!
What do I have to say about all of this? Bull-Dookey! Bring back the surprise and romance to getting engaged. Don't take her shopping. Don't ruin the surprise!
If you really want to get her involved, try this: Go out and buy her the biggest, prettiest, highest-quality Diamond that you can afford. Have it set in a standard simple Tiffany-Style Engagement Ring Setting. Find a unique way to propose and give it to her. You'll be happy you did. These are things she's been looking forward to all her life. Don't take that from her.
Have her then help decide upon the Wedding Band. She'll be ecstatic that it was a surprise. Her girlfriends will be blown away. She'll be excited that she gets to pick out the setting. And She'll love you for not ruining the romance. And if you can sway her into getting a Wedding Set that actually looks like 2 pieces until the Wedding Day, all the better. It'll have a much stronger and beautiful meaning.
And with this ring, she will always say "I DO!"
