Honey... you know you can have whatever you want. If you really wanted a "band-aid wrapped in aluminum foil" you could have it. This is about US. We both get to have what we want.
It makes me love ya just alittle bit more to know you put forth so much thought and effort. Thanks for being so amazing and helping me to make this one of the most beautiful days of our lives.
STUPID!!!!!!! (Sorry, I had to counter-act the overly mushy parts!!)
I love you.

Congratulations on your up coming wedding.To answer your question,I had a good friend that wanted her wedding band in silver ( it better matched her engagement ring.) But her husband to be did not want a silver one because his wedding band from his first marriage was silver.He and she battled at it until I told them get the same bands only his gold, her's silver.For them it worked, they have been married for almost 12 years.Best of luck.

Why don't you go two toned, silver and gold, or perhaps even white gold. I really think that since she has a gold engagment ring her wedding band should be similar. I think that putting her engagment ring next to a silver ring wouldn't look quite right.

Why don't the 2 of you get matching tri-metal bands? Most stores carry a few in store to look at. That way you get silver she gets gold and the third metal can be a symbol of your marriage . It will also go w/the gold ring she already has.

As long as you have a ring to wear in the ceremony as symbols of your union, I don't think it matters gold or not. Those who can't afford gold or silver would go with what they can afford, so why would it be different if you can afford it?
Congrats and don't let this small thing get in the way of your happy union. Just talk about it and if nobody wants to get same ring then just get the ring you each desire

The rings do not necessarily have to match one another. I have seen couples who have them the same and different, so really it is up to you and your fiance. If you end up buying a silver or platinum ring, then that is up to you. The end result is marriage- no one will care what your rings look like... rings are just a symbol- but not the true meaning of a marriage.

You can get whatever you want. I do agree that it has to be compromise...if the issue is she wants it to be the same or whatever, so in that case, you need to talk about all options and agree. But you honestly don't have to have matching bands. When i was engaged and looking at wedding bands, my fiancee wanted titanium and i wanted white gold...together they wouldn't look good at all, but they aren't put together, so if you prefer silver, then you get silver. Good luck

Personally I would want them to both be the same, which is probably what she is thinking. I want to match my fiance because I feel like the matching colors show we 'match' each other... lol, it's hard to put into words! That's just how I think it should be. If you wanted silver you should have bought her a silver ring! But if you're both okay with it then it shouldn't matter. Do what you want!

I like gold and my bf likes silver. We've already decided that when we get married our rings might be in the same style, but different metals. They should be rings that you will want to wear every day- get one that fits you. Just because they symbolize the love you have for each other doesn't mean they have to be identical.

my fiance and I went out two weeks ago and got him a ring. He chose a tungston ring and I have a gold ring. He is happy and so am I. We didnt spend a fortune but we both love what we have. It doesnt matter what kind of ring you have, just if you love each other. Heck, I waited on a married couple who had matching ring tatoos. Its not the ring that matters.

It is pretty much what you want now..the old tradtions are long gone..and thank goodness for that!
Don't worry about stuffy old rules from long ago...do what YOU want..you want silver?..have silver..she wants gold..have gold!..Nothing has to match..expect the 2 of you together..the rest is all material stuff that really means nothing in the long run.
