Hey everyone,
FI and I were starting to look at wedding bands, and we realized that there's absolutely no way we're going to be able to afford the matching band that goes with my engagement ring. While we'd love to have the matching set (there's a matching wedding band for him as well), they're well over 20% of our entire wedding budget and we're just not prepared for that.
We talked about getting different (cheaper) rings for the ceremony, and then upgrading later when we have the means. For those of you that have done this, what did you do with your original ring? Did you continue to wear it along with the upgrade? Or something else? Just looking for input from those who have been there!
TIA!
