\"Who<\/div>\n

Who Buys the Wedding Bands?<\/h2>\n

\nHim or Her?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe Truth Is:<\/strong><\/p>\n

They BOTH Do!<\/h2>\n

\nHe is Supposed to Buy Her Wedding Band. And She is Supposed to Buy His.<\/p>\n

That’s What Tradition Dictates Anyway<\/h2>\n

\nThe Funny Thing is, it doesn’t always happen this way. Often the Man will End up Paying for Both<\/strong> Her Rings and His.<\/p>\n

\nAnd that’s because he normally puts them on a Charge Account, which works out well because you generally Get a Better Deal Buying all the Rings Together at Once (like an Additional 10% off<\/strong>, or Interest Free Financing<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nSo it just makes sense to Take Advantage of the Extra Savings and Purchase them as a lot. Especially if you want to get Matching Wedding Bands<\/a>\"\" (as many Couples do), or if you need to Order them in the Correct Ring Size.<\/p>\n

The Engagement Ring Comes First<\/h2>\n

\nThe Man will usually Buy the Engagement Ring<\/a> first, and if the Ring already comes with a Fitted or Interlocking Wedding Band, Perfect. He’s All Done<\/strong>. But if he Buys an Engagement Ring like the Standard and Classic Tiffany Style Ring<\/a> (simple plain ring), chances are, he’ll be Bringing Her Back into the Jewelry Store to Shop for Wedding Rings later.<\/p>\n

\nThat is what I Recommend as well, because he won’t Ruin the “SURPRISE PROPOSAL<\/strong>“, and she’ll still get what she Wants! It’s a Win-Win!<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Okay, we’ll look at his Band…”<\/h2>\n

\nAnd, while they’re at it, this is the time that Most Couples would also take a look at His Wedding Band as well (it’s usually Last on the List<\/strong>). They’ll Try on Plain Bands, Engraved Bands, Etched Bands, Hammered Rings, and even some Bands with Diamonds (Yes, some Men do want Diamonds<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nThey’ll try on Different Widths and Metals like White Gold, Titanium, Tungsten and Stainless Steel (I Wouldn’t Recommend Sterling Silver<\/strong> – Too Soft and it Tarnishes!) and probably get their Finger Sized so the Ring could be Fitted or Custom Ordered.<\/p>\n

Standard Ring Sizes<\/h2>\n

\nMost Men’s Rings come in a Standard Size 10<\/strong>, and Ladies Rings usually come in a 6 or 6.5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nSo you can see how Convenient<\/strong> it is to just add his Band to the Grand Total. I mean, what’s another Hundred when he’s already Spending Thousands? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIt’s not totally Fair, but times have changed and so have the way that people shop for Bridal Rings and Sets. <\/p>\n

So Who Buys the Wedding Bands?<\/h2>\n

\nHe Does!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And he Never Stops Paying for it!<\/h2>\n

\nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
