Did u love your wedding ring??
the second you saw it? I know it sounds like a dumb question...but Rob & I have been looking at bands for weeks now & I think they are all starting to blend! I went to the Tri County Flea Mkt after seeing many posts here. A lot of vendors! What makes our decision a bit harder is, Rob is Jewish and I am Catholic. Accding to Jewish tradition, you must get married with a solid ring, no holes, no open work. Which means no stones, which is Ok with me,but harder to find something that jumps out! We love the two tone look...white and yellow gold, especially since my engage ring is a nicely done 2 tone. Artcarved has a lot of these rings.
Of course, I found a beautiful ring there, that was an heirloom ring, that had open work and no matching ring for Rob. WRONG on BOTH counts!
I can't make a decision & I feel a bit disconnected. Is this normal?
Did u love your wedding ring??
I am Jewish and my fiance is Catholic. I opted to be married with my grandmother's solid gold band and wear the band we bought together (diamond band)after the wedding. The solidness of the band signifies the solidness of the marriage. As long as you are married with the solid band you can wear the band with stones any other time.
One small clarification, Bruce is not my brother.
58 and sunny for Saturday!!! - Where is your ceremony?
Did u love your wedding ring??
Phyllis,
I am Jewish and my fiance is Catholic and we are getting married by a Priest and Rabbi and when I spoke with the Rabbi he said it was not really necessary to get a solid band that it was only something that was done a long time ago. A long time ago tradition was that every bride should have the same ring and no one should be better than the other meaning if I had diamonds and you didn't that it would be why does she have diamonds and not me so that the tradition was said to be everyone should have the same a plain solid gold band but this doesn't really apply according to the Rabbi that will be marrying us I guess also because it is an interfaith marriage and he is a reformed Rabbi.
Hope this helps.
will send this along, how about??
to my fi Robert. hahaha!
Others have said the same thing to him, but it doesn't seem to matter. In fact, we are having an interfaith too, rabbi and priest. So I asked if the cermony is divided in half. No- but there are certain aspects managed by either of the clergy. So, I thought for the priest, I would have Robert slip on the band we buy together and for the Rabbi, when he says he 7 blessings ( Right?) that rob slip my parents gold bands onto my right pointer finger. Does this sound like too much? he is being a stickler on the ring thing. Some of my friends have said that they all upgraded their bands after about 5 years, but that seems like putting off the dilemma.
OH! my head hurts!

I don't know I am the jewish one and it doesn't really bother me or my parents. I do know that my fiance does have to place my ring on my pointer finger but I want a band that will match my engagement ring. My fiance on the other hand pretty doesn't care just that we will have to buy him a plan gold one in addition to a nice dress up one because he goes to school and works with his hands and a fancy ring that he would wear when we went out just wouldn't look to good. So he is getting 2 bands. Hope this helps don't get worried about rings get worried about this whole thing with the Fox Hollow I know that is what is getting to me.
I never said his thoughts were WRONG! No-one's thoughts are wrong ------ THEY ARE THOUGHTS!! I didn't respond to you in the first place; it was someone else's comment. Try reading the message! You are reading into my message with judgment, as a lot of people are doing. I NEVER said I didn't agree with him, nor did I say I do! So please do not make accusations and put words into my mouth. You have an opinion, I have an opinion. This board is for brides/grooms to talk and exchange information. I'm not taking sides with brides vs. vendors, but the purpose is for us brides/grooms to vent, discuss, and share.
OH! my head hurts!

I am jewish and my fi is catholic we are also having a Rabbi and Priest. Basically like Rachel was saying, there are a lot of old traditions and you have to decide which ones are important to accept in your ceremony. At first we were going to both have solid gold bands but after speaking to other people I got a channel set diamond band and my fi is getting a plain gold band (funny since I am the jewish one). I just felt like using another ring for the ceremony is weird cause you never really wear that ring as your wedding band forever, I wanted to use the ring I will wear forever in the ceremony and I really wanted a channel set band.
I must say that all the posts regarding tipping, house vendors, and their meals exhausted my brain. This being said I think that the "tip guide" Mark was speaking about in previous posts is insane. Even if it is used as a guideline, how can you anticipate what to tip before the actual wedding...from a first meeting or previous referrals? I do plan on tipping my vendors...as long as they preform the tasks they have been hired to do. My fiance is definetely a good tipper, and I plan to leave that to him, but to premeditate what a vendor should be tipped before they preform their services, makes no sense. Also I thought that the owner of a company (photo, dj...) isn't suppossed to be tipped?
I think we should tip if we want, and how much we want.
