  No, you don't HAVE to have a wedding band. I know many brides that have used their engagement ring for both. For the style of ring you're talking about, I would agree that symmetry would be compromised. My best friend received a round diamond solitare for her engagement ring and they went together to pick out the wedding band, which is a wrap and makes the ring completely different. They are soldered together and if you didn't know that, you would think she has one ring on. What I'm saying is that for all everyone else knows, your engagement ring could be two put together. The design you describe sounds like it could definitely act as both the engagement and wedding ring without anyone batting an eye. If it is symmetry you are after and you want a lot on your finger, you could opt for two wraps. One on each side to balance them out. If you would really like a wedding band and can't find one to go with your ering or think it's too much on one hand, you could get a wedding band and wear only that on your wedding finger. In this instance, you could wear your ering on your right hand. I like thin bands and I never thought I would want to add a bulky wedding band to my ering, but they came as a set and I actually really like them together. Yes, it looks like too much, but the sparkle is incredible! The jeweler told me to not get them soldered so I can wear them as I please, together, band on left with ering on right, band as an anniversary band on my right hand and ering standing for both. There's all sorts of ways you can do this. Check around. See what your FI says. You have to physically try them on to see if there is a band you like with your ering, by itself, or choose no band at all. It's absolutely your choice. ETA: sp

  When we went to look at wedding bands I REALLY didn't like the way my ering looks with another band by it. But I also wanted the option of having a plain band to wear at times since my ering does stick out quite a bit. We decided to just get a simple band and I'll wear it on m right hand (I really like my ering on my left hand, so didn't want to take it off). I may change my mind later, may end up wearing them together, switching hands, etc, but I like having options.

  
  

  I'd go to a jewelry stors and try on some stuff and see how it looks and what you like. You certainly don't HAVE to have another ring, and if you'd be happier with just one, might as well save some money!

  I got two bands, one for either side of the ering, in order to keep the symmetry.

  Not all rings look good with bands. I've seen women with gorgeous e-rings, but the look was totally ruined with a band. So if you don't want a band, don't get one.
