  We are not doing matched rings.  We have different hands and what I like wouldn't look good on him and vs.  As for budget you need to decide on what you can afford and then look in that price range.

  Well, it was really simple: FI picked his own ring.  We looked together, but ultimately it was his decision.  He's the one who has to wear it for the rest of his life, so we both wanted it to be something he really liked.  Since it's pretty much the only part of the wedding that's permanent, we didn't really set a budget, though we did try to keep it within reason.

  Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

  [QUOTE]I brought FI to the jewelry store, told him to pick whatever he liked.  My e-ring is fancy schmancy, his wedding band is very simple.  It's all about what your man liikes.

  We picked out our own bands. He picked one, and it ended up being around $100. Mine was around $1k. We had the money and we're both happy so it worked for us.

  Let him pick out his own.
  
  FI's was more expensive than mine, not by a whole lot but still. I went with him to pick it out, but that was because I was buying it for him as a gift. I would've even been fine had be gone on his own and then came back home and said, "Here's what I picked out, take this receipt back next month to pay the bill."

  I am making FI pick his own ring. He made me pick mine.

  He's the one who is going to wear it the rest of his life, let him pick it out!  FI picked out my e-ring (he did good!) and then we went to pick out the bands together.  I would have been fine with whatever he picked, whether it matched or not.  I just wanted him to love it and be comfortable with it.  We haven't bought it yet, but he actually chose a very simple yellow gold band (he did match me, even though I told him he didn't have to!).  I kept pointing out more ornate stuff, but he really just wanted a simple band.  I think it will be like $300. 
  
  My advice, take him shopping and let him try stuff on.  I'm sure he'll know what he likes and doesn't like when he sees it and feels it on his hand. 
  
  Have fun!
