Fiance wants an UGLY ring...need advice

[KristinBelle]

It's his ring, I think he should get which ever one he wants.

I completely agree with Moonpie's suggestion. That seems like it'd be more of a right-hand ring anyway.

I think this idea is a great one!! Maybe give it to him as a wedding gift. Tell him it means a lot for the two of you two have somewhat matching rings

I have to agree that it doesn't look much like a wedding ring...I am all for letting my fiancee have the ring of his dreams because I want him to be as happy as I am but...(well, the ring is really ugly!!! Even my fiancee thought so)

I love the idea about getting matching bands and then giving it to him as a gift.

Good Luck!!!

WAY TO GO MOONPIE!!!

That is the BEST suggestion yet!

Any decisions made on the ring??

This is so interesting! When we were getting married, my dh insisted on a ring that was brushed gold with diamonds in it. Well, a couple years into it, the brushing was all worn off, and the hollowed out part with where the diamonds were set started collecting soap and caused a rash. So now he wears a plain ol' gold band.

Anyway, I don't think the wolf ring is so bad (my dh loves wolves, too). I can totally see wanting matching wedding rings, but if he's not gonna wear it on his hand anyway, then does it make a difference?

My best friend told her dh that she wanted a white gold ring. She NEVER wears yellow. Not even since back in high school when we met ... NEVER. What did he buy? Something he liked -- in YELLOW GOLD. It really hurt her that he wouldn't get her the one thing she wanted (and why on earth the color made a difference to him is a mystery to all of us). And five years later, he ended up ponying up for a white gold solitaire to try to make up for it (she didn't ask him to -- it was a total surprise). She accepted it graciously, but it was really too little, too late.

So my .02 (which is about all it's worth) from a 15-years' married perspective is let him have what he wants. The marriage is the most important thing anyway.

I agree with DiznEeyore on the marriage being more important than rings.

But I would ask him if he would take the time to look at other rings and also to think about if he would still really like this ring 10-20 years from now. Then if he still wants it after that then I would have no problem with it. GL

It's his ring, I think he should get which ever one he wants.

Maybe it's because I am older and a little more mellow... but I agree with this statement. (Note, I said older meaning I am no longer in my 20's, but I am definately not old yet!)

We compromised. He's getting two rings. He's getting a nice traditional one, and he's getting the wolf one for his right hand. I accept that he just has bizarre taste, and I do want him to have something that he loves.
We don't need matching bands. Here's what I picked:

Glad to hear you worked it out in a way that made you both happy! And your ring is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
