Wedding band engraving

(didnt really know which board to post on)

Do any of you have/planning on an engraving on your rings? What do you have?

Is it weird to get my fiances name in mine? I was thinking this with the date we marry. 

Are there traditional things people normally get in them?

We didn't get ours engraved because H's couldn't be engraved (Tungsten ring) and my band was so thin it couldn't be engraved either.

If yours can be, I think FI's name and your wedding date would be nice. I know you can't engrave a ton of words on there, but if you have a 3 or 4 word saying you often say to each other and it would fit on the ring, that might be nice too--something personal to the both of you.

we aren't doing ours. mine is pretty thin and he said he didn't want it done.

I think your FI's name and wedding date are perfect.

In my ring
"love, his Name MM/DD/YYYY"

In his ring
"God's love and my heart   MM/DD/YYYY"

My FIL talked FI out of getting my E ring engraved because he said you pay for the gold that is lost in the engraving and blah blah blah debbie downer jerk.

H was going to get "I love you more."  We say that back and forth.

That's great!! 

The traditional thing that I've seen in a lot of vintage rings (like my grandparents' from the 40's) is their initials and wedding date.  In my grandparents' case- flanked by little hearts.  So for Jane Ann Doe and Tom Michael Smith it would be JAD & TMS 07/16/12.

I also came across a really lovely one that just said 'to my wife' and the date (which I wanna say was like 1930.)

My fiance has also suggested either splitting up a quote between us: 'Stay and grow old with me/ the best is yet to be.' or putting 'the best is yet to be.'

My personal favorites: 'Do Not Remove' and 'If Found Please Call 555-333-2222'

I think that's a sweet idea.
My engagement ring says "I'm yours", my wedding band is too thin,
his wedding band says "forever yours faithfully"

I got my husband's wedding ring engraved. Our first dance was to Blake Shelton's- God Gave Me You so I engraved that into his ring. If you do want to engrave his ring, you can do a small quote or a small lyric from the dance you will dance to. Anything you do will be special. I didn't get mine done because my band is to thin.
