Question About Wedding Rings

When buying wedding rings, who is supposed to pay for what? If my ring costs more than FH's, does that mean he pays for mine and I pay for his? Or do we split the total cost 50/50? Or do I pay for my own and he pays for his own?

I don't really think there is anything set in stone about this..... Some people say you buy for each other which I prefer....but we're taking the money from a joint account. Plus, I already feel bad that FH spent so much on the E-Ring, to make him pay for my band (which is about 6X the amount of his) would make it worse!

i was wondering about this today too. i know traditionally you buys each others, but his was less than 400 andmine is going to be about 1500. i feel bad, he already paid for the e-ring, right?

I believe your FH pays for the rings. Aleast thats what we're doing.

The way I look at it is this-- It doesn't matter who pays at this point -- we are getting married-- our money is OURS...Once we get marrried we agreed to pool our earnings.....so even though he's technically paying for mine & I'm paying for his-- It's coming from OUR money.

the normal th ing is you pay for his and he pays for yours. Ours will be coming out of a joint account so we will be paying kind of for both

FH and I are just taking the money out of our wedding bank account. However FH does tend to put a lot more money in the account than I do but we consider it both of our money.

The best part of it is that you two can do what ever makes you happy and what ever is most convienient for you, like everyone else says your money together is gonna be just that each others!!

Yeah, I just feel bad because FH has already spent so much $ on my e-ring, and the wedding ring I picked out costs almost 3 times as much as his does! So I dunno if it's fair that he pays for my ring and I pay for his. So I guess we should split it 50/50? Im not really sure.....

I agree that there is no his vs yours

I was notified that polish tradition dictates that FH MUST buy the rings.... both of them. FMIL was making a stink about that, becuase I wanted to buy his, and he buy mine for christmas presents.

In the end, he bought both, and I paid for the honeymoon....

but SINCE we dont live together yet, and our finances are seperate, im buying his ring and he's buying mine...

dont think it matters though, do whatever u two prefer....
