When it came time to shop for wedding rings, did you choose yours first? Or did your partner's wedding ring come first? Or, did you choose a set?

    We'll most likely choose ours at the same time.

    Mine, he has a specific vision in mind and will most likely need to order online.

    Mine was decided on first because it matches my engagement ring. My FH had a harder time deciding but ultimately went with his fathers ring.

    We picked both ours out at the same place and at the same time.

    We chose mine first, it came as a set, and then picked my fiance's.

    My fiancé bought my engagement ring and wedding band as a set because the jeweller had an amazing sale on at the time. So now we just have to get his band Smiley smile

    We went to the jeweller and choose both our band together a few months before the wedding.

    We actually ended up picking my FH wedding band 1st off Etsy. My wedding band was a little harder to find but was finally picked in March.

    When I went to go find a band to go with my original engagement ring, I couldn't find one that sat properly at all so we actually exchanged the engagement ring for a set I fell in love with. My FH actually proposed with a really simple ring that he bought just to have one - literally in his proposal he said "you can change this in for whatever you want" I died Smiley xd . I still like the simple things so it's just a tad bit more blingy but I'm so happy I bought a set and didn't have to worry about a matching band.

    We are just over 3 months to the wedding (99 days today!) and he still hasn't picked his out yet Smiley amazing . I keep reminding so hopefully he gets on it soon or we'll be doing the exchange with a ring pop.

    I bought mine a while ago cause it needed to go with my engagement ring ( i wanted to make sure it had the same diamonds) so mine was a no brainer. we had to spend more time looking for him so his came later.

    We both chose the bands together after getting a peak first and went simple.

    We picked ours out together at the same time! We went "wedding band" shopping together at the Jewelry store where he bought my engagement ring. Smiley ring

    He bought mine as a set when he got my engagement ring, so mine match perfectly! I got his custom made since I couldn't find what he wanted. They don't match, but they fit our styles and look amazing!

    We won our wedding bands at a bridal fair but we picked his first and then mine to match it.

    We're not at this point yet but we're definitely not going for matchy-matchy, so it won't matter who gets theirs picked first.

    We got them together. We should be getting them hopefully this week. I've been 3+ weeks without my engagement ring and my finger is feeling so bare.

    He bought my engagement ring and wedding band the same day, my daughter and him picked them put together. We picked his ring out a few months after we got engaged.

    We picked out our bands together, but we decided on his first. I was humming and hawing over mine for a little while.

    They came as a set along with my engagement ring so I didn’t have a say at all! (Which is fine with me!)

    My wedding band came first, because it was a set with the engagement ring I got.

    My FH's band was hard to pick as he really wasn't sure what he wanted.

    Mine, since I already know what I want. My FH is still debating getting a metal ring, or a silicone one.

    Mine came first as my engagement ring was a custom piece and the band would need to be made to fit it. He went through a few ideas before he figured out what he wanted.

    Mine, because my ring has a unique shape, so there is a matching band. However I found my #1 pick for his band pretty soon after our engagement.

    My engagement ring was custom
    made, so I had to get the wedding band custom made to fit together. My fiancé still has to go pick his out!

    We found my wedding band first as it was harder to find one to match my engagement ring.

    My FHs came first. I’ve known the ring I’m going to get him for a year now. My wedding ring will be custom made to fit my engagement ring.
