Just to clarify with my last question. Because my fiance has already bought me an engagement ring. He knows that, at the wedding ceremony, we will each get a ring. But he is convinced that, before the wedding, he stil needs to buy and give me a wedding band. That leaves me with a total of three rings (engagement ring, wedding band, and finally, wedding ring). I have told him that the wedding ring and wedding band are the same thing, but he argues and is very sure that he is correct. How do I prove that he is wrong?

Haha, I've never heard of anyone thinking that you would need three rings. He is wrong, not only would it be a waste of money but how in the world are you gonna fit 3 rings on the same finger? Talk about uncomfortable. Get proof from wedding magazines (which you probably have) or from wedding sites like theknot.com, which have check lists and things that would tell you that you need an engagement ring and one other wedding ring/band. Good luck with the wedding!

You are correct. You will only end up with 2 rings (1 engagement ring & 1 wedding band) that's it! 3 rings is ridiculous! Wedding Band is the same thing as a Wedding Ring. He is CONFUSED. I suggest you take him to the church & have a priest explain it to him. If he still doesn't believe it, then go ahead & let him buy you another ring. The more the merrier! =)

A woman wears an engagement ring (sometimes) and then a wedding ring after she is married. Two rings. Sometimes a man gets them as well, but he never wears them as a "set". Only the wedding ring after the nuptials.
The wedding ring he is to buy you before the wedding is the one he gives you at the wedding to seal the vows.
A wedding band is what plays music at the reception. :)

Perhaps he should look at what rings are on the fingers of other married women that he knows. He will see that they only have two: One for the engagement, and one for the wedding.
Suggest that he check with his mom, your mom, his co-workers, etc. He doesn't need to admit to them that he doesn't know...he should be able to just look at their hands and see that there are only two. That way, he doesn't need to be embarassed by his mis-understanding.
To comment on your previous question...The two wedding bands are not necessarily bought as a pair. Sometimes this is the case, but only if the bride and groom both want the same style for their rings (which is rare, as women usually want something feminine, and men usually want something masculine). The bride's wedding band can be purchased individually, or as a set with her engagement ring. The groom's wedding band can also be purchased as an individual item. My husband and I purchased my rings as a set, and I subsequently surprised him with a band that I purchased on my own...it was never part of any set, just sold as an individual wedding band.
The engagement ring is given to the bride-to-be to celebrate the engagement...When you get engaged, you get an engagement ring.
The wedding rings are exchanged to celebrate the wedding...When you get married (not before), you get a wedding ring.

The wedding band and the wedding ring are the same thing.

I was worried about wanting to wear just one of my rings so I didn't sauter mine. Well it's been a year and a half and I have never worn just one ring. Also, I am already starting to notice a grooves being worn into the prongs where my enhancers rub against it. I just decided today that I would be taking my ring in to get it sautered and it only costs $20-$25 per ring.

No, only one ring is needed, the wedding bands exchanged during the ceremony.

The wedding ring and band are the same thing. However, you probably shouldn't argue with him later on if he wants to get you a nice anniversary/eternity band. ;)

he is probably thinking of a gaurd ring, it was a common thing in our parents time. it is just a small band you wear on the outside of the engagement ring after you are married, to ensure it does not accidentally fall off.
if i was you i would let him, the jewelry buying slows dramaticly after the wedding

Very simple--I did not see any answer like mine among all the answers already given. Tell him to check with the jewelry store he bought the engagement ring from. Then it will straight from the "horse's mouth".
