Wedding Band... or No?

I recently came across on {{theknot.com}} a post about buying a wedding band or not.

I found it interesting

for Chris & I have been discussing rather or not buying a wedding band for me. ::note:: he will get a wedding band! :)

While reading through the posts, I found {many} good points made....

• Some girls [[do not want]] a wedding band due to money constraints.
• Some girls [[do not want]] a wedding band because it would restrain from the unique engagement ring setting.
• Some girls [[want]] a wedding band because the meaning is important to them.
• Some girls are going to wear the band on the left hand & the engagement ring on the right hand.

I feel that all of these are valid points. To each their own.

let me explain my own...

I ::absolutely:: love my engagement ring! I love that it is vintage & definitely love that it is earth-friendly {no new materials were used to make the ring}.

That being said, do I really want a wedding band too!?

IF we buy a wedding band, it would have be vintage again {b/c I love vintage design &... yes, the earth-friendly aspect...}

I don't want a wedding band for # of reasons..
--my ring {as any other engagement ring} is gorgeous alone
--a wedding band will only take away from the setting & overall look of the engagement ring
-- most importantly, I rather the money go towards the honeymoon! hahaha

However, I am worry about the delicacy my engagement ring. Therefore, wearing a band would be more practical & safe {[especially while teaching preschoolers!]}

Most likely what will happen is that we will get a band that I wear on my left hand & then I will wear my engagement ring on the right.

I feel that the wedding band does hold sentimental value & showcases our love for each other. but so does

the engagement ring,

our first home {or apartment}

& most importantly

< 3 our commitment to God & each other that we will love one another forever < 3
