I've been married for five years. You will look back on these days with many regrets of ever having made this horribl.... I mean, er, uh, these wonderful days of the beginning of the rest of your wonderful new life together...
CONGRATS!
Well......just so ya'll know....here is the ring:

it is around 2.5 ct.wt. total and averages an F-G color with an VS1 Clarity......a pretty nice looking ring......I know....it is not a traditional engagement ring....but she does not like any other ring other than this one......

Definitely not traditionaly but it is nice looking.
When my wife and I got married I was only 19....bought the ring when I was 18 so I didn't have many funds.
It wasnt a big ring but it helps remind her where we came from. ($15 an hour combined)
I'll get her another ring sometime but not as a replacement. I don't want that ring to ever change or be upgraded.

Niiiiice.
I wanted to get the wifey-pooh something like that, but she wanted to keep it simple and less expensive. (Man, I love my wife).
She said, "the ring I wear on my finger isn't something I want to be outrageously large or big. I want it to be something traditional".
So I got her a simple 1 ct princess cut engagement ring (white gold) and a band (white gold) about the same size of the two bands in your picture.
Damn...I cant say "congrats" enough dude.

Very true. Platinum is EXPENSIVE though.
I didn't want white gold, true gold or silver. I got a gun barrel steel band. It makes no sense to me to get a purdy expensive band that I will just trash up. I never tkae it off and it was all scratch up in like a month. I will see if I can find pics on google.
It looks like this, but it isn't Stainless Steel, it's gun barrel steel.

Multiply that by 25 X's
