Of course! The wearer is the one who has to approve of the ring, not the observer. My husband and I do not have matching rings because my ring was in his family for a while and his ring was purchased new. We chose his ring because we liked it, but we ended up getting a discount because it had been part of a set where another bride picked the other half for herself and her groom chose something else. So it happens a lot. Totally acceptable.

My husband and I have matching rings. But that was an accident. For a long time he was going to get just a plain bad where as my wedding set had embellishment on it. But when we went to the jewelry store the match to mine was on sale, thus cheaper. We're cheap skates and poor so we went with the matching set.
But the answer to your question is no. Contrary to popular belief there is no set rule book to weddings, wedding etiquette, or marriage. Their are things that are traditional. But just because that's (and I hate this phrase with a passion) "how it's always been done" doesn't mean you have to do it that way too. It is your wedding and ultimately your marriage. If you don't want matching rings, fine. If you as a couple don't want to wear a tux and white dress, fine. Their is an explanation behind each tradition many people do not know about that antiquates many wedding traditions. (anyone who cares can email me bubb1e_gir1@yahoo.com) That doesn't make them any less special to those who chose to honor those traditions and carry them on. It just makes it easier to say, yeah, I'll pass. Its alright to do my own thing here.

Your wedding and marriage is about you and your husband, nobody else matters. If you choose not to have matching rings, that's your choice and it's fine.

It is fine...my husband's ring is a plain gold band and my setting is platinum. I started out with yellow gold but had the band redone for an anniversary. Anyhow, I don't think it really matters as long as you have the symbol...

This is a good question. My finace and I don't have matching rings, mine is white gold band cause my engagement ring is so big, so I just got a plain white gold band, his says forever and always in titanium, thats what he wanted thats what he got, it all depends on you

My husband and I's rings DO match and they compliment each other really well. It's fine if yours don't though - it's just a preference.

My husband and I's rings don't match. They're both white gold, but that's where it stops. Not a big deal, but it's nice, I wish ours matched, but he's so picky.

My fiance's and mine don't match. My ring has diamonds in it (it's like a 5 stone ring) and he doesn't want diamonds. He just wants a plain band.

Sure, you do what you want......your husband may not like gold, or maybe you would prefer platinum. Get what you like, it's not the ring, it's what the ring symbols......
BTW - my ring doesn't match my hubby's.

No. It's not ok. You will be arrested on your wedding day and possibly sent to 'wedding jail'.
Of course it's ok. Wear what's in your budget and what you like.
