Bride-to-be Blogger Leslie: Getting Our Wedding Bands!
Leslie's lovely engagement ring!
For me, it was pretty easy because I knew one very important rule: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
I knew what I wanted before I even set foot in the store: I wanted a diamond band to match my engagement ring — but then, I also wanted a ring that would match whatever Charles picked out.
Yes, I wanted two wedding bands.
Here is my reasoning for this: I got the idea from my friend Sabrina, who did the same thing — and I knew I had to do it myself. I think it’s sweet to have a matching wedding band with my soon-to-be husband. To me, that’s romantic. I also enjoy this plainer ring because I am a runner and compete in many races all over the place — I am very active in general, and sometime wearing a diamond ring while getting my sweat on just isn’t going to work for me. So I think having another ‘everyday’ band is perfect!
On the other hand, I am a lady, and like I said before, diamonds are a girl’s best friend! I can’t imagine my wedding band not having diamonds on it — they are just so sparkly!
I’ll be able to experience another benefit of having two bands on our honeymoon, because I don’t plan on taking my engagement ring with me. We’ll be in Greece and in and out of different hotels, doing all sorts of amazingly awesome things, and I don’t want to have to worry about losing my ring. So I plan on wearing both my diamond band along with my band that matches Charles’ ring, on the honeymoon. They look great together and will be easier to keep track of!
