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.

Those look similar to my lovely bride's rings. White gold is the only way to go imo. Unless platinum.

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.

Not what I was alluding to. The only one she wants? got to have that one regardless of how much trouble or the cost? It is only beginning. You need to make sure they deaden it for you when they install that nose ring. I have heard that can be very painfull.

Have you ever plucked a nose hair?

Multiply that by 25 X's
